Nika Oblak & Primoz Novak
Nika Oblak & Primoz Novak have been working as an artist’s cooperative since 2003. They studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and at the Universitaet der Kuenste in Berlin, Germany.
They expose gaps and paradoxes in our understanding of contemporary media and capital driven society, as they dissect its visual and linguistic structure. Infused with humor their works draw parallels between the commercial and the art worlds. Oblak and Novak operate in the border zones between reality and fiction. They often appear as protagonists of their works and they act out different roles. Their practice spans from video, photography, new media and installation.
Oblak and Novak have exhibited worldwide, in venues like the Sharjah Biennial; Japan Media Arts Festival, Tokyo; Istanbul Biennial; Biennale Cuvee, Linz; Transmediale Berlin; Alexandria Biennale... They are based in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
