In his foreword, Leopold Rupnik<\/strong> emphasizes:<\/p>\n

Taking into account women in the applied arts, who experienced marginalization and neglect of their artistic creativity in the predominantly male art world that pushed them toward the creation of so-called fine arts, the works of Skuja Braden skilfully underscore the double cisheteropatriarchal standards and the imposition of repressive Victorian morality on women. Their meticulous and conscious selection of provocative themes subverts historical injustices committed against women in applied arts and liberates the genre from the male hand that still extends through the mire of misogyny and the pervasive spectres of male genius.<\/p>\n

Biography<\/strong><\/p>\n

Skuja Braden is a pseudonym and the combined surnames of the international collaborative duo Ing\u016bna Skuja from Latvia, and Melissa Braden from California who work collectively and primarily with porcelain. Skuja Braden represents an \u201cabsence of presence\u201d of an individual author, where
\nthese two artists have combined forces creating a fictive and alternate proxy identity. Collaboration is the non-hierarchical and inclusive framework Skuja Braden utilize as a method, strategy, and philosophy, to explore alternative relations to power through a fusion of disparate identities, inclinations, and perceptions. The works are conceptually based, and created through kaleidoscopic multi-dimensional lens, they are I, me, you, we, her, she, us, them, others, and everyone else, but almost always expressed as a synthesis of painting and sculpture. Skuja Braden works boldly blend decorative, literary, and political elements into a seamless statement, while utilizing a material that has historically been associated with absolute refinement. Skuja Braden works can be found in private collections and museums in Australia, Britain, Canada, China, Croatia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Russia, and throughout the United States.<\/p>\n

The exhibition will be open during the period from 3. to 24.10.2023.<\/strong>
