Jernej Čuček Gerbec

Jernej Čuček Gerbec (b.1985, Slovenia) is a media-agnostic artist working across photography, video, text and sculpture. His artistic practice actively centres observation-making of the common, conventional and widespread, over medium-specificity or conceptual frameworks. He finds poetics in the simple acts of life, recurring conversations, pictures of random passersby and quotidian struggles. The result is never a simple act of documentation but playful mediations with his audience to highlight things that otherwise go unnoticed, while at the same time making the end message ambiguous and unclear, to retain its former allure. His works have been exhibited internationally, as installation, photography, video, text and sculpture, most notably at DobraVaga, Ljubljana (2024); MeetFactory, Prague (2023); Stekleni Atrij Town Hall, Ljubljana (2023); Mahlerca (2023); Pori Biennale (2020); One Thoresby Street, Nottingham (2019); Carinarnica, Nova Gorica (2018); Roman Susan, Chicago (2017); Aksioma, Ljubljana (2015); Kiasma Contemporary Art Museum, Helsinki (2017); Research Pavillion, Venice Biennale (2017); Galerija Kibla, Maribor (2014); Galerija Photon, Ljubljana (2010-2014); Galerija Škuc (2013-2019).
