Non-Form is conceived as a selective survey of contemporary Slovenian sculpture. Its title refers to the central research question explored by the curators, who invited emerging and mid-career artists working at the intersection of sculpture, installation, experimental materials, new media, and spatial interventions.
The participating artists approach material and form as tools for speculating on the present, the future, and imaginary realities, as extensions of the transformation of an idea into an autonomous entity – one that builds its own environment and functions as an active, reciprocal agent of conceptual inquiry rather than a static object of representation.
For years, younger and mid-career Slovenian sculptors have been challenging the boundaries between object, process, and concept. Their works reflect on the role of materials, social dynamics, and the human psyche, while showing how art actively reflects and responds to the complexities of contemporary society by resisting fixed definitions of what was once known and readily identifiable.
Curators: Tina Gerlec, Sara Nuša Golob Grabner, Peter Tomaž Dobrila
