Jernej Čuček Gerbec

Jernej Čuček Gerbec (1985) was born in Slovenia. His artistic practice is not concerned with medium or concept but with observations. Observations of the common, conventional and widespread. The artist finds poetics in the simple acts of life, recurring conversations, pictures of random passersby, and quotidian struggles. The end result is never a simple act of documentation but varies between installation, photography, video, text, and sculpture. In his work, he tries to highlight the things that may go unnoticed, while at the same time making the end message ambiguous and unclear so as to retain its former allure.​​​​​​​ He also works as an editor and writer at Koridor - križišča umetnosti, a Slovenian online magazine dedicated to art reviews.
