Currently she is actively involved in a variety of contemporary art and production areas, artist residences and continues her studies at the Master's degree of Media Arts and Practices in the field of contemporary art. "Valérie Wolf Gang is forming in the artist of the new generation, who is more sovereign, strong, uncompromisingly clear in her expressive power, while showing excellent knowledge of the techniques and media she uses." - Rene Rusjan, professor of Contemporary Arts "Demanding production practice which comprises the work of the artist, especially the quality and potential of its practice shows that Valérie Wolf Gang belongs to the group of the population that deserves the status of Independent Cultural Worker as well as other potential state support, mostly due to that its practice can be developed and maintained at a high artistic level, while able to exceed the boundary between art and its users." - Dr. Petja Grafenauer "In Valérie Wolf Gang's work, the sense of social and ideological alienation is played out through careful visual choice of materials and reconstructions. In her work one is made aware of the larger ideological or symbolic order through the actual material configurations being presented - that things can be about something else other than what they are made out to be." - dr.
