Metka Zupanič (1977);
Lives and works in Ljubljana; Slovenia
The basics of my projects are connections between me and the persons asked to collaborate. To achieve this, I use various media. I understand the artistic process as a form of meditation, exchange and collaboration. This way of realisation is presumed as the artistic goal – a study of relations and spaces that forms among people.
Very often my projects are concerned with local environment. The content of the framework is space between, where me and a co-operative person are joined. Such space between is the integration of me and any individual, the quality of this space is supposed to be the artistic goal of the project in which an individual takes active part.
