The exhibition Shapeshifting presents a series of reworked and transformed past artworks by artist Tajda Novšak. It builds on the creative practice she developed during her studies. Rather than confining her sculptural practice to conventional techniques, Novšak devised a unique methodology that emphasizes the interplay between artistic expression and psychological exploration. The transformation of artworks can therefore be viewed as a metaphor for broader social transformation, highlighting our collective engagement in a continuous process of adaptation and growth. In this context, Shapeshifting acts as a catalyst for personal and social transformation, transcending the aesthetic and functional value of art. It creates a space for deeper reflection on art’s role in shaping our reality and opens new avenues for participation and co-creation of the spaces we inhabit.
The exhibition was co-funded by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia.
