Ištvan Išt Huzjan

Ištvan Išt Huzjan (Ljubljana, 1981) explores the mechanisms of representation in contemporary visual art through a variety of artistic practices including sculpture and site-specific installation. His work often incorporates the ephemeral and liminal aspects of life, such as memories and the unconscious. Since graduating from the artist-in-residency program Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten in Amsterdam in 2009, Huzjan has held several other residencies. In 2015 he was awarded the Grand Prize of the 31. Biennial of Graphic Arts – Over You You at MGLC in Ljubljana. His recent solo exhibitions include Subterranean Walks at Eastwards Prospectus Gallery, Bucharest (2016) and From Here To There at ŠKUC Gallery, Ljubljana (2013). He also runs an artist run space Artists Club / Coffre Fort together with Gregoire Motte and Thibaut Espiau in Brussels. Huzjan splits his time between Slovenia and Belgium.
