The exhibition by artist Eta Sadar Breznik Seize the Storm at the Slovenian National Theatre in Nova Gorica announces the Textile Art Biennial BIEN 2025 in Nova Gorica (Opening June 20, 2025). The large floating textile installation is set in the rotunda of this monumental building and brings together a diverse selection of works by one of the most important artists on the Slovenian textile art scene. 'Perhaps this retrospective exhibition is truly a story of love – for oneself and others, for movement and exploration, for material and expression, and for nature,' concludes its curator Lovro Ivančić in the exhibition text.
