Gašper Kunšič

Born in 1992, Kranj, SI

Lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, DE, and Vienna, AT

Gašper Kunšič recently graduated from the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main, having previously studied at the Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.

In his practice he reworks visual references from the countryside of his childhood, alongside folk motifs and pop culture from the former Yugoslavia and a broader diasporic Balkan context. Through spatial interventions, sculptures, paintings and works on paper he transforms exhibition spaces into emotionally charged environments that subvert the traditional, creating new folklore worlds and their imaginings for those who do not belong.

He has exhibited at Städel Museum in Frankfurt, Kunsthalle Recklinghausen, Zilberman Gallery in Berlin, Belvedere21, Wien Museum MUSA, and House of Spouse in Vienna, Schiller-Museum in Weimar, the City Gallery, Škuc Gallery, and RAVNIKAR in Ljubljana, as well as UGM in Maribor. He has participated in the EKO Triennial of Art and Environment in Maribor, the Youth Biennial in Belgrade, and the Mediterranea Biennial in San Marino and Nova Gorica/Gorizia. He lives and works in Frankfurt am Main.
