UMETNICA NA MESEC / Katarina Snoj: Too Close to Home
razstava
do 5. 9. 2026

Katarina Snoj v samostojni razstavi Too Close to Home premišlja dojemanje doma skozi izkušnjo trajajočega bivanja v tujini. Elementi, ki se sklicujejo na devet ljubljenih oseb in bi sicer lahko izražali toplino, so utišani v hladnem, presvetljenem prostoru. Delo izhaja iz intimne osebne izkušnje, ki se s prenosom v galerijski prostor preformira v univerzalno razmišljanje o oddaljenosti, odsotnosti in hrepenenju.

Katarina Snoj (2002) je leta 2025 diplomirala iz slikarstva na Akademiji za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje v Ljubljani in za svoje diplomsko delo dobila nagrado akademije. Magistrski študij nadaljuje na akademiji HDK-Valand v Göteborgu na Švedskem. Njeno delo zajema slikarstvo, zvočno instalacijo, grafiko in fotografijo, občasno pa deluje tudi v kuratorski in likovnokritiški vlogi. Trenutno živi in dela v Göteborgu ter Ljubljani.

ARTIST PER MONTH / Katarina Snoj: Too Close to Home
exhibition
until 5. 9. 2026

In her solo exhibition Too Close to Home, Katarina Snoj contemplates the perception of home through the lens of prolonged living abroad. Elements that refer to nine loved ones, which might otherwise convey warmth, are muted within the cold, overexposed space. The work is rooted in an intimate personal experience that, when transposed into the gallery setting, transforms into universal reflection on distance, absence, and longing.

Katarina Snoj (2002) graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana in 2025, receiving the academy’s award for her thesis. She is continuing her master’s studies at the HDK-Valand Academy in Gothenburg, Sweden. Her practice encompasses painting, sound installation, printmaking, and photography, and she occasionally works as a curator and art critic. She currently lives and works in Gothenburg and Ljubljana.
