Maja Babič Košir
Born in 1978, Ljubljana, SI
Lives and works between Ljubljana, Sl, and Porto, PT
Maja Babič Košir holds a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Sculpture from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana and pursued advanced studies at EINA University School of Design and Art in Barcelona.
At the heart of her practice is the family archive, which she engages not to preserve, but to transform. Sketches, prototypes, and fragments of letters and notes are reinterpreted as sculptural gestures, tracing presence without sentimentality. In works such as the Love Letters series (2018–), found and familial materials are reshaped to explore memory, absence, and the lingering weight of loss, with the archive acting as a quiet partner in reflection. Through these interventions, inherited objects resonate beyond their origins, articulating traces of life, intention, and affect.
Maja’s process balances intuition with formal rigour. Through layering, assemblage, and spatial interventions, she constructs multidimensional installations that emphasise the tactile, sensory, and ephemeral qualities of her materials, challenging conventional notions of decorativeness.
She exhibits widely at leading international contemporary art fairs and venues, including the MG+MSUM Ljubljana, UGM Maribor, Cukrarna, ARCO Madrid, Art Brussels, SPARK, Berlin Gallery Weekend, Vienna Contemporary, NADA Villa Warsaw, and Zürich Art Weekend. Her works are held in prominent private and public collections and have been recognised with multiple awards.
Represented by the gallery, Maja Babič Košir continues to probe the intersections of material, memory, and narrative, creating sculptural and spatial interventions that resonate with both intimate and universal histories.
