Overview exhibition

Tanja Lažetić

Laž (Lie)

21. 5. 2026–30. 8. 2026

Tanja Lažetić is a multidisciplinary artist whose work explores feminism, female identity, and social roles. The exhibition spans her practice from 1997 to the present, bringing together key works and examining themes of vulnerability, resilience, and identity.

Tanja Lažetić works at the intersection of video, ceramics, performance, artist’s books, and photography, and is among the more prominent Slovenian multidisciplinary artists exploring the various roles of the individual in society. The exhibition presents the conceptual breadth of her practice and the development of her thought, which focuses on issues related to feminism and the position of women in today’s world — a position that, under the weight of expectations and imposed social norms, is often dual, combining vulnerability and resilience. The exhibition traces her work over an extended period, from 1999 to her more recent production, which conceptually and provocatively also engages with the medium of painting, exploring the relationship between error and perfection, the human, and identity. Among other works, several of her iconic projects will be shown together again after a long time, including Wherever I am not (2000), Nude Descending (2012), Lilith (2017), and Whore (2010). Tanja Lažetić received the national Rihard Jakopič Award in 2017. Curator: Barbara Sterle Vurnik.
