short bio and statement portfolio cv contact editions texts

Nežka Zamar (*'90)'s research-based practice challenges the limits of identity and individuality of a language, expanding the interspace between materiality and concept. The narratives she constructs in the borderscapes of transdisciplinarity blend literary and visual arts to form spatial installations with performative backgrounds. Her inherently undisciplined, process-oriented ouvré juxtaposes itself with the layers of social structure and its mechanisms, often addressing the multifaceted question of positionality. Her works draw from complex relationships between subjects that manifest as the material of her objects and the objects of her work. She holds BA and MA degrees in Visual Arts and Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Venice, has completed an exchange semester at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in Istanbul, and two semesters in the field of Cultural Studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Over the years her work has been internationally exhibited in both group and solo shows including at International Architecture Exhibition, Venice (2016), Mediterranea Young Artists Biennial, Tirana (2017), Parallel Vienna, Vienna (2017), Trieste Contemporanea, Trieste (2018), Monitor Gallery, Rome (2018, 2019), Ravnikar Gallery, Ljubljana (2019), East Slovak Gallery, Košice (2021), Kula Cetinjska Gallery, Belgrade (2022), Škuc Gallery, Ljubljana (2022), P74 Gallery, Ljubljana (2022, 2024, 2025), Galleria Alberta Pane, Venice (2025), Bežigrajska galerija, Ljubljana (2025), DAS WEISSE HAUS, Vienna (2025).
