JAŠA (Mrevlje-Pollak, born Ljubljana, 1978) is a seminal contemporary artist whose conceptual practice rigorously engages space as both medium and context. His methodology is defined by immersive, site-specific interventions and durational performance. The formal lexicon of his oeuvre synthesizes elements of polystylism, neo-romanticism, and geopolitical consciousness. This singular vision has profoundly influenced the artistic landscape of Ljubljana and Venice, positioning him as one of the most prominent voices of his generation on the international stage.
His academic foundation was established at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia, where he pursued painting, graduating with distinction in 2004 and receiving a second-stage diploma con lode in 2007. This formative period included his membership in the radical international art collective Crash in Progress, which garnered significant attention for projects such as Dafne (Venice, 2003). He has since directed various experimental training programs at the Accademia, commencing in 2008.
Commencing his autonomous artistic trajectory in 2005 , he developed a diversified, multimedia practice rooted in principles of site-specific intervention and interconnected creative collaboration. Though formally trained in painting, his methodology integrates visual arts, architectural tenets, sound, music, and performance into a singular, cohesive language. A decade of integrated, high-frequency projects—both solo and collaborative—subsequently catalyzed a profound transformation within the Ljubljana art scene , a dynamism he extended throughout European exhibition venues, culminating in his inaugural solo exhibition in New York in 2012.
In 2014, the artist established New York as his second base, co-founding the studio and production platform, The We.Are Institute (in collaboration with Rosa Lux). This new transatlantic structure supported his representation of Slovenia at the 56th Venice Biennale in 2015 , where he presented UTTER / The Violent Necessity for the Embodied Presence of Hope. This seminal work was a monumental site-specific installation and a structured, repetitive durational performance that rigorously occupied the space for 29 weeks, functioning as a politicized, ongoing workshop of action. In 2016, his performative practice intersected with that of Ulay on Cutting Through the Clouds of Myth (Kustera Projects, New York), concurrent with the durational group performance The Relations at Frieze Art Fair, London. The following year marked the inception of At the Dawn of Yet Another Age of Absurdity, a global project series, with compositions executed at diverse international sites including New York, Folkestone, the Atacama Desert in Chile, Zagreb, and Barcelona. This period also encompassed monumental commissioned installations, notably the multimedia Gesamtkunstwerk Nowhere-Now Here at Art Hotel Tartini in Piran, a philosophical examination of transient space and collective history realized within an existing architectural frame.
From 2019 to 2020, JAŠA functioned as a pivotal force within Non-Grupa, an influential activist movement linked to the two-year period of protests in Slovenia. Concurrently, his studio practice was documented, including projects such as ‘I Alone’ featured in Meta Grgurevič’s ‘Impossible Machines’ exhibitions. His commitment to artistic pedagogy and professional discourse materialized in the co-authored volume ‘Making It: The Artist's Survival Guide’ (with Noah Charney), published in 2021.
The recent period, beginning in 2021, has been dominated by The Monuments series, an ongoing, long-term project conceived as an immersive work of art comprising seventeen chapters of site-specific interventions and durational performances at Kühlhaus Berlin. This work actively molds realities rather than merely reflecting them. 2022 saw the comprehensive BLOOM retrospective at KUC Kino Šiška, which was augmented by a related musical album release, underscoring the intrinsic role of sound as an integral component of his visual and performative output. His engagement with interdisciplinary forms is further evidenced by REKVIEM (2024/2025), a multi-sensory experience and tribute to his late father, Gorazd V. Mrevlje, realized through the architectural transformation of Casa Tartini (Piran) and the Ljubljana Puppet Theatre, featuring hyper-realistic animated marionettes. He sustains his commitment to large-scale public engagement with projects like the 'All Tomorrow’s Songs' mural (2024/2025) in Ljubljana, while actively cultivating emerging artistic talent through the 'Making It / International Workshop' and the 'Situations' performance and installation series in Berlin.
Beyond his studio practice, JAŠA is recognized as an esteemed instructor, lecturer, and public figure, actively mentoring and contributing to the discourse of contemporary art.
JAŠA is a contemporary artist who cuts visual arts with a conceptual practice that is rooted in the extensive use of space as a medium and context for either spatial or performing interventions. His approach has elements of polystylism, neo-romanticism and geopolitical consciousness. His work has made him one of the most prominent voices of his generation and altered the art scene in Ljubljana and Venice, propelling him onto the international stage.
He studied painting at the Academy in Venice (Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia), where he graduated in 2004 with distinction and obtained a second stage diploma at the same institution in 2007 (con elodee). Since 2008 he has been heading various experimental training programmes at this institution.
During his studies, he was a member of the international art group, Crash in Progress, a progressive and radical group that established an impressive reputation with art projects that aroused a great deal of attention, namely with Dafne (Venice, 2003).
In 2005 he began his autonomous path. He has a diversified and multimedia practice, based on the principles of “site-specific” interventions and the interconnectedness of creative processes with other participants. Though he trained as a painter, his work combines various contemporary multimedia practices, including visual arts, architectural approaches and principles, sound art and music, performance and more. Over a decade of high-rhythm integrated projects, both alone and with several other renowned artists, he thoroughly transformed the art scene in Ljubljana. He then continued in the same way in project and exhibition spaces around Europe, until his first solo exhibition in New York in 2012.
From 2014 onwards, New York became his second home. There he opened a studio and production base, The We.Are Institute (with Rosa Lux), dividing his time between Ljubljana and New York.
In 2015, he represented Slovenia at the 56th Venice Biennale, one of the most important events of the contemporary art world. There he presented a monumental site-specific installation and durational performance that lasted for 29 weeks (UTTER / The Violent Necessity for the Embodied Presence of Hope). In 2016 he collaborated with Ulay on Cutting Through the Clouds of Myth (Frieze Art Fair, NYC) and had created a durational group performance called The Relations at Frieze Art Fair, London.
In 2017 he started a project entitled At the Dawn of Yet Another Age of Absurdity, Composition No.1 in Tanja Grunert Gallery in NYC that travelled around the globe in varying forms (no.2 at Hop Projects in Folkestone, no. 3 at Atacama desert in Chile, no.4 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, no.5 at Espronceda in Barcelona and no.6 at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Ljubljana in 2018) while working on other site-specific commissioned installations of monumental scope. This included a colossal, multimedia gesamtkunstwerk called Nowhere-Now Here at Art Hotel Piran and It Seems We Did Manage to Get a Grip around Some Kind of a Meaning Lately (with Meta Grgurevič at Viba Film in Ljubljana).
In addition to his art, JAŠA is a mentor, instructor and lecturer.
