MARK POZLEP

Within the Artists-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host the artist Mark Pozlep. Born in 1981 in Celje, Slovenia, Kent graduated in 2006 from the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of Arts in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where he also received his MA degree from the Department of Video in 2009. In 2019, he graduated from HISK in Ghent, Belgium. He is a storyteller acutely aware of the sensitive nature of the materials he turns into stories, which he effortlessly interprets using whatever media of presentation, giving primary consideration to image vs. video, performance vs. play and classical gallery displays vs. theatre staging. Mark currently lives and works in Ghent and will be staying in Studio Rojo during November 2022.
