UMETNICA NA MESEC: Iva Suhadolnik Gregorin: Nič ni bolj pomembno od vode na koži
razstava
do 31. 5. 2025
Samostojna razstava Ive Suhadolnik Gregorin zajema fotografsko serijo, ki kritično, predvsem pa prvoosebno, tematizira krvavo potrebno in vedno bolj potencirano potrebo po času, v katerem od nje (in ostalih umetnic_kov) ni zahtevano nič. Avtorica se v sosledju svoje prakse in izjemnih (avtoportretnih) podob, zajetih na obali, osredotoča na lastno izkušnjo zavračanja dela in vzpostavljanje premisleka o pravici do lenarjenja. Tokratna zožena tematika je iz prve roke povezana z izobraževalnim sistemom, natančneje magistrskim programom akademije za umetnost.
Iva Suhadolnik Gregorin (1997) je konceptualna in vizualna umetnica, ki skozi participativni performans, njegovo dokumentacijo in fotografijo raziskuje vprašanja dela, spola, identitete in struktur moči. Razstavljala je na več samostojnih razstavah, med njimi svoje delo Nisem na tem svetu, da bi delala (2022) v Galeriji Fotografija v Ljubljani ter v GT22 v Mariboru. Projekt Flowers Bloom Once a Year (2022) je predstavila v Galeriji Siva v Zagrebu, Nosimo naš prostor (2021) pa v galeriji FBunker v Velenju ter v sklopu TAM-TAM ulične galerije v Ljubljani. Razstavljala je na mnogih skupinskih razstavah, tudi v galeriji DobraVaga. Njeno delo je bilo leta 2022 vključeno v razstavo Next Generation, ki je v Galeriji Monfort v Portorožu predstavljala študentska umetniška dela iz Benetk, Dunaja, Ljubljane in Kopra. Kot soavtorica treh del je sodelovala na mednarodnem festivalu The Third Place (2024), ki je istočasno potekal v galeriji Cookhouse na Chelsea College of Art v Londonu ter v galeriji AVA v Ljubljani. Z dansko umetnico Ronjo Hage Tange sta lani ustanovili umetniški duo “ena ena”.
Praksa Suhadolnik Gregorin nudi priložnost za ustvarjanje začasnih prostorov, ki se pojavljajo kot povabila k emancipaciji in (ali) kot katalizator za razgradnjo delovne etike. Avtorica svojo čustveno in osebno krajino prepleta s političnim, kjer temelje ustvarjanja zastopajo določena mera občutljivosti in iskrenosti. Velik pomen pripisuje razkrivanju notranjih mehanizmov performansa in fotografije kot umetniških oblik, kjer ima ključno vlogo medsebojno sodelovanje. Deluje in biva v Ljubljani.

ARTIST PER MONTH: Iva Suhadolnik Gregorin: Nothing matters more than entering the water
exhibition
until 31. 5. 2025
The solo exhibition by Iva Suhadolnik Gregorin features a photographic series that critically – yet above all, from a first-person perspective – explores the deeply felt and increasingly amplified need for a time in which nothing is demanded of her (or of other artists). Through the continuity of her practice and a series of striking (self-portrait) images captured along the coast, the artist focuses on her personal experience of rejecting work and opens a space for reflection on the right to be idle. This time, the narrowed thematic focus is directly tied to the educational system – more precisely, to a master’s programme at an arts academy.
Iva Suhadolnik Gregorin (1997) is a conceptual and visual artist who, through participatory performance, its documentation, and photography, explores questions of labour, gender, identity, and structures of power. She has held several solo shows, including her work I’m Not in This World to Work (2022) at Galerija Fotografija in Ljubljana and at GT22 in Maribor. The project Flowers Bloom Once a Year (2022) was featured at Gallery Siva in Zagreb, while We Carry Our Space (2021) was shown at FBunker in Velenje and as part of the TAM-TAM Street Gallery in Ljubljana. She has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including at the DobraVaga Gallery. In 2022, her work was featured in the Next Generation exhibition at Monfort Gallery in Portorož, showcasing artworks by students from Venice, Vienna, Ljubljana, and Koper. As co-author of three pieces, she participated in the international festival The Third Place (2024), which took place simultaneously at the Cookhouse Gallery at Chelsea College of Art in London and at the AVA Gallery in Ljubljana. Together with Danish artist Ronja Hage Tange, she founded the artistic duo “ena ena” last year.
Suhadolnik Gregorin’s practice creates opportunities for the formation of temporary spaces that emerge as invitations to emancipation and/or as catalysts for the dismantling of work ethics. She intertwines her emotional and personal landscape with the political, where sensitivity and honesty serve as the foundation of her creative process. She places great importance on revealing the internal mechanisms of performance and photography as artistic forms, in which collaboration plays a key role. She lives and works in Ljubljana.
