Miart 2025
Vuk Ćosić | Matteo Attruia
03.04 - 06.04.2025
MLZ Art Dep is happy to announce his participation to Miart 2025 with Vuk Ćosić and Matteo Attruia.
Vuk Ćosić is a net art exponent and co-founder of the mailing lists 'nettime', 'Syndicate', and the Ljubljana Digital Media Lab. He has exhibited in numerous galleries and museums and lectured at dozens of art academies, seemingly standing the test of time. He refuses to run his life like a business, but his work is written about, quoted, imitated, and collected. His basic training as an archaeologist, combined with an avant-garde ethic, has given him the long-term vision and rapid bursts of passion necessary to work in critical media arts. He sometimes writes about himself in the third person. Using poetic media archaeology, he creates performances, videos, books, and monuments that explore the social impact of the relationship between the genesis of media technologies and art. He has exhibited at the Venice Biennale, the Reina Sofia in Madrid, the ICA in London, the Barbican Center in London, the Beaubourg in Paris, the ICC in Tokyo, the Kunsthalle in Vienna, the Digital Artlab in Tel Aviv, the Stedelijk in Amsterdam; ZKM, Karlsruhe; Lux, London; Ars Electronica, Linz; Walker, Minneapolis; Postmasters; MIT, Cambridge; NYC; Chisenhale, London; Whitechappel Gallery, London; Friedricanum, Kassel; Škuc, Ljubljana and many others.
Born in Sacile, Pordenone (IT), Matteo Attruia thinks, lives, and works everywhere. He is an Italian artist who uses a variety of expressive media, including photography, writing, video, sculpture, neon, and installation. His work seeks to create a sense of alienation in the viewer through irony and the paradox of meaning. His work has been exhibited worldwide, from the US to Asia to Northern Europe, in museums and at major international modern and contemporary art fairs. In 2018, he designed a coffee cup for the Illy collection.

Anaïs Horn
The Windows - solo show
11 - 14. April 2024
MLZ Art Dep is happy to announce his participation to Miart 2024 with the new solo project of the austrian artist living in Paris Anaïs Horn: The Windows, born during her residence time in ISCP (International Studio & Curatorial Program) in NYC in 2022 and developed in Paris.
The Windows as sites of imagination–windows as transparent boundaries and passages between public and private–return as motifs in the works of Anaïs Horn. They show interior and exterior spaces and windows as borders and connections between these two spheres. Windows of private houses and flats stand for intimacy and security, while in the world outside the window, the urban living space is represented. The window frames the imagined existence of the stranger, but the pane of glass is also a transmitter between the “outside” and the “inside” life, allowing the two to merge, removing the distance between them and making the existence of one without the other impossible.
