Artists talk at Obrat Gallery, Maribor, Slovenia.
I wanted to share highlights from my solo show and artists' talk, Rhythms of Care/Ritmi Skrbi, at Obrat Gallery, Maribor, Slovenia, in 2024.
What a fantastic time it was to show my work and connect with so many amazing people. I will cherish it professionally and personally for the rest of my life. I can't stop smiling as I look at images from the show. It was a privilege to show my work and receive such moving feedback from such generous audiences—all in my grandmother's homeland. It is an experience.
I am looking forward to making work from this experience. Special thanks to The Fauvette Loureiro Memorial Scholarship from University of Sydney, Sydney College of the Arts for helping to make this happen. Caregiving is a part of all our lives.
Thank you,@Szűcs Teri, for curating the show. Your writing and mutual understanding of care have made this happen, and I am very grateful. Maja Pan, thank you for all your translating work and grounding energy. Thank you, @ren.gregorcic, for showing them my work in the first place.
I had a mentor, @lindylee.13, once tell me that your work is only 80% complete. There is another 20% that happens in the gallery. Well, with the magic of Lucija Smodiš and Borut Wenzel install and all that comes with it, it was 100% a fantastic experience. They understand art and what it takes on a deep leave. I am grateful for you both.
Sašo Gobec for the transfers. I'm your new friend from down under.
Thank you to the artists performing my work "I will follow, Just in case" Daria Khrystych Eszter Kállay and Martyna Miller
Thank you to Guest Room Maribor and Pekarna Magdalenske mreže for welcoming me into the community. I've learnt so much, and the kindness and knowledge will last me a lifetime. Thank you Urška Breznik and Simon Žlahtič
Also, thank Ana and Richard from the Australian Embassy and Permanent Mission to the United Nations, Vienna
If you have made it this far in reading, the show is open until the 5 August 2024. Images: Klara Šulek
