Gašper Kunšič

08.09. – 11.09.2022

Gašper Kunšič (1992, Slovenia) studied at Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, at the Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. In his practice he reworks visual references from the countryside of his childhood, alongside folk motifs and pop culture from the former Yugoslavia and a broader diasporic Balkan context. Through spatial interventions, sculptures, paintings and works on paper he transforms exhibition spaces into emotionally charged environments that subvert the traditional, creating new folklore worlds and their imaginings for those who do not belong.
