Dalea Kovačec (1993) graduated with BA thesis Altered Memories at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana, where she is completing her master's degree. While her graduate studies, she attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw as part of a study exchange (2015/16). In the year 2018, she received the University of Ljubljana, ALUO award for a series of works in various media, and this year she was nominated for the OHO Group Award. She lives and works in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Since 2022 she has been self-employed in culture. In 2023 she participated in two residency programmes abroad, in Izmir as part of the Mediterranean Biennial Looking at the Same Water and in an international artist residency in Užice as part of the Videopark’23: Identity Paradox festival. She has presented several solo exhibitions and participated in more than 30 group exhibitions in Austria, Belgium, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Turkey and Slovenia.
Her practice ranges from interactive, participatory and intermedia art to painting, printmaking, video, sound and installation. She explores the relationships between memory and medium in different social contexts through various media. While developing artworks she collaborates with local communities and professionals from different fields and while presenting/exhibiting she likes to organize workshops and lectures revolving around the topics the artwork touches.
