Ivana Bašić is featured in Spike Art Magazine
14 May 2025
In a recent interview in Spike Art Magazine by Nikolai von Moltke, artist Ivana Bašić reflected on her sculpting process and the themes of otherness and materiality.
Surrounding her solo exhibition at MO.CO. Montpellier Contemporain, Ivana expresses that her work, born from a desire to transcend the material body, emerges from a gruelling process that pushes her to the edge of collapse. Her enigmatic sculptures, which consist of wax, glass, steel, alabaster, oil paint, and immaterial matter such as breath and pressure, prompt the viewers to reimagine ontological fixations through a posthuman and post-subject lens radically.
Her glass sculpture series Breath seeps through her tightly closed mouth (2018-2024), is currently on view in ‘Aftershock’ until 24 May 2025.
