Željka Blakšic

Željka Blakšic AKA Gita Blak born in Zagreb, Croatia (ex- Yugoslavia) is a multidisciplinary artist who lives and works in New York City. Her inspiration often stems from the sub-culture of the 1990s-era in Croatia, when punk, anarcho and eco movements were having a renewal. Her artistic career began in early adolescence in the field of music and performance. The current work reflects long-term collaborations with different subculture groups, collectives or choirs often placed in non- traditional architectural spaces. She works across multiple disciplines; the constants in her practice are performance, 16mm film, video and installation.
