Ren Gregorฤiฤ Developed a New Body of Research-Led Artworks
ASEF Junior Fellow ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฐฬ๐ถ๐ฐฬ from Australia recently completed his research visit to Slovenia where he developed and produced a new body of research-led artworks examining cultural monuments, concrete, and urban water systems in Ljubljana:
โWhen I arrived in Slovenia in May 2022, I quickly became interested in Joลพe Pleฤnikโs sluice gate and the relationship it has with the Ljubljanica as it flows down to Fuลพine most. During my ASEF fellowship I focused on making a body of artwork about that system. I was also fortunate to have a solo exhibition at Vetrinjski exhibition space in Maribor titled > ๐๐๐ญ๐๐๐๐ฃ๐๐ก๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ช๐ฃ< (๐๐ค๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ก๐๐๐ฃ๐ค๐ฃ๐-๐ข๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ค๐จ๐ค๐ฃ๐๐) that presented some thoughts in progress about the role of sculptural symbolism in urban places. Between my research work I was able to visit many incredible places within Slovenia including the ล kocjan jame and Ptuj and enjoyed the opportunity to visit relatives in Velenje. The fellowship was an enriching experience, both personally and professionally.โ
