Love is Real
10/05 — 19/06/2024

The exhibition GRAZLJUBLJANA arises from the idea of connecting the two geographically close cities of Graz and Ljubljana and their art scenes more closely through a joint exhibition. On the initiative of Galerie Zimmermann Kratochwill, Ravnikar Gallery Space and artist Maja Babič Košir were invited to create an exhibition together with Graz-based artist Veronika Hauer.
While each artist will show her most current work in an individual room of the gallery – Love is Real by Maja Babič Košir and blue and melting by Veronika Hauer, their practises will collide in the room situated at the heart of the gallery. Here, both artists meet in an interplay of their works and show subtle similarities in their artistic engagement, such as the layering of material and lines.
Maja Babič Košir shows her newest installation Love is Real and invites us to an intimate exploration of loss and memory. Through a deeply personal lens, she navigates the complexities of grief following the death of her father, transforming found objects from her family’s archives into vessels of confrontation and thus invites us to confront our own mortality and ultimately, to find solace in our capacity to love.
