You are cordially invited to the opening of the art exhibition:
Saba Skaberne: “Vlakneni svetovi”
on Thursday, February 26, 2026 at 18:00 in the Gallery of the National Institute of Chemistry
Saba Skaberne is an established Slovenian artist and academic sculptor who entered the Slovenian art scene in the 1980s with innovative and diverse approaches to the use of sculptural means, imagery, and materials.
Already in her early works, she demonstrated an interest in establishing relationships between hard, load-bearing materials such as steel and wood, and soft, flexible, or fibrous elements such as textiles, cotton, or yarn. Through their formal opposition, these contrasts create a subtle construction of balance, in which stability and gentleness support one another.
In recent years, Saba has intensively employed felting with various fibers as a sculptural process and visual language. This enables a multilayered reflection on the very construction of the artwork and the projection of visual meanings from the core into space. At the same time, this approach reveals the working process itself and preserves a bodily, sensory, and distinctly sensitive dimension within her practice.
The exhibition will be on display until March 26, 2026.
Curator: Jiri Kočica
