Maja Smrekar was born 1978 in Slovenia. She graduated at the Sculpture Department of Fine Art and Design Academy in collaboration with the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television in Ljubljana, Slovenia, and holds Master of Arts in Video and New Media.
Her work has been established in the international art and science milieu by interdisciplinarily researching ideological structures in society. Grounded in sculpture, her practice has allowed her to lead collaborations in developing cross-conceptual productions that include performances, installations, site specific art, drawings, videos, sound, as well as contributions to knowledge exchanged within lectures, talks and texts.
