Vljudno vabljene_i na odprtje razstave 𝙒𝙚𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝗔𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗱, v petek, 𝟮𝟯. 𝗷𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗷𝗮 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲, 𝗼𝗯 𝟭𝟵. 𝘂𝗿𝗶, v Galerijo Alkatraz, AKC Metelkova mesto. Razstava, ki bo na ogled do 20. februarja je nastala v okviru programa SobaZaGosteMaribor, Pekarne Magdalenske mreže, v sodelovanju z Markom Faridom, umetnikom, raziskovalcem in predavateljem likovne umetnosti na Central Saint Martins, Univerzi za umetnost v Londonu.

Umetnica o svojem delu zapiše: “Razstava raziskuje spomine na tako imenovano pot gostujočih delavcev v spominih moje družine in družinskih prijateljev. Pot gostujočih delavcev se nanaša na počitniško pot, ki so jo turški, grški in jugoslovanski delavci migranti iz zahodne Evrope uporabljali za vožnjo v svoje domovine poleti. Od 60. let dalje do začetka jugoslovanske vojne leta 1991 so pot, ki je vodila skozi Nemčijo, Avstrijo in današnjo Slovenijo, Hrvaško, Srbijo in Bolgarijo do Turčije, pogosto uporabljale na tisoče družin, ki so se poleti vračale domov. Maribor je bilo eno od mest na poti, skozi katero so vsako leto potovali.”

𝗔𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗱 je multidisciplinarna umetnica, ki deluje v Londonu. Njeno delo sega vse od risanja in slikanja do oblikovanja kovine in lesa, grafike, videa in instalacij. Ukvarja se z različnimi vrstami izgube pomena in premiki vrednot, zlasti kadar so te posledica reprodukcije, reprezentacije ali prevajalskih procesov. Najdene slike, besedila in predmeti se spremenijo v nove predmete in prenesejo v nove kontekste – z distancami, vrzelimi in razmiki so umetniška dela odvisna od svojega okolja. Diplomirala je iz nemškega prava, leta 2025 pa je diplomirala iz likovne umetnosti na Central Saint Martins, Univerzi za umetnost v Londonu.

You are kindly invited to the opening of the exhibition 𝙒𝙚𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧 by 𝗔𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗱, on Friday, 𝟮𝟯 𝗝𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗿𝘆, 𝗮𝘁 𝟳 𝗽𝗺, at Alkatraz Gallery, ACC Metelkova mesto. The exhibition was created as part of the GuestRoomMaribor, Pekarna Magdalenske mreže, program in collaboration with Mark Farid, artist, researcher, and professor of fine arts at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
Ehhibition is on display until 20 February.

The exhibition explores memories of the so-called guestworker route in the memories of her family and family’s friends’ history. The guestworker route refers to the holiday route that would be used by Turkish, Greek, and Yugoslavian migrant workers from Western Europe, to drive to their home countries during the summer. From the 1960s onwards up until the start of the Yugoslavian war in 1991, the route, going through Germany, Austria, and what is now Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, and Bulgaria to Turkey, would be used heavily by hundreds of thousands of families who were travelling home over summer. Maribor was one of the cities along the route that would be passed through by the travellers every year.

𝗔𝘆𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗟𝗲𝗶𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗱 is a multidisciplinary artist based in London. Her work ranges from drawing and painting to metal and wood design, graphics, video, and installations. She deals with various types of loss of meaning and shifts in values, especially when these are the result of reproduction, representation, or translation processes. Found images, texts, and objects are transformed into new objects and transferred into new contexts—with distances, gaps, and intervals, the artworks depend on their surroundings. She graduated in German law and in 2025 graduated in fine art from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.
