Spoznaj rezidentko / Meet the resident: Aylin Leipold

V četrtek, 20. 11. 2025, te ob 18.00 vabimo v OBRAT – prostor umetnosti in participacije na predstavitev dela in umetniških praks multidisciplinarne umetnice, rojene v Freiburg im Breisgau in živeče v Londonu. V novembru in decembru bo delovala na rezidenci v Mariboru v okviru programa SobaZaGosteMaribor v sodelovanju z Markom Faridom, umetnikom, raziskovalcem in predavateljem likovne umetnosti na Central Saint Martins, Univerzi za umetnost v Londonu.

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.

SobaZaGosteMaribor je program Pekarne Magdalenske mreže Maribor, ki od leta 2011 razvija in organizira umetniške rezidence. V letu 2025 ga sofinancira Ministrstvo za kulturo RS, Mestna občina Maribor, podpira ga Vetrinjski dvor, Narodni dom Maribor.

On Thursday, November 20, 2025, at 6 p.m., we invite you to OBRAT – a space for art and participation – for a presentation of the work and artistic practices of a multidisciplinary artist born in Freiburg im Breisgau and living in London. In November and December, she will be working on a residency in Maribor as part of the GuestRoomMaribor program in collaboration with Mark Farid, an artist, researcher, and lecturer in fine arts at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.

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.

GuestRoomMaribor is a program of the Pekarna Magdalenska mreža Maribor, which has been developing and organizing artist residencies since 2011. In 2025, it is co-financed by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia and the City Municipality of Maribor, and supported by Vetrinjski dvor and Narodni dom Maribor.
