Predavanje ob zaprtju razstave Besede prostora, prostor besed Četrtek, 15. 9., ob 19. uri Projektna soba SCCA, Metelkova 6, Ljubljana. Razstavo Besede prostora, prostor besed bomo zaključili s predavanjem Dejana Habichta, ki na razstavi sodeluje s svojim projektom 12 dolgočasnih pesmi. 12 dolgočasnih pesmi so vizualni materiali, zloženi v krajše narativne strukture. Izhajali so sukcesivno, v elektronski obliki, od januarja do decembra 2007. Pesmi so bile brezplačno dosegljive druga za drugo vsak zadnji teden v mesecu na najavljenih elektronskih naslovih preko poštnega seznama Galerije P74. Tako ritem izhajanja in struktura pesmi spominjata na koledar.
Razstava, instalacije, performansi, projekcije, odprti ateljeji Besedilo, knjiga in branje so od nekdaj tudi téme likovne umetnosti. Še več. Tekstualnost je vpisana v umetnino. Razmerje med črko in črto, besedo in podobo, pripovednim in likovnim je prisotno v številnih sodobnih umetniških projektih. In na drugi strani so "neraziskani in neznani prostori" AKC Metelkove mesta kot prizorišča in zatočišča za njihovo uprizoritev in recepcijo/kontemplacijo. V času obletnice bodo umetniške in teoretske prakse vzpostavile protiutež prevladujočim konvencijam in ritualom običajnega vsakdana Metelkove. Obiskovalec, ta urbani nomad pa bo sam ali v vodeni skupini, zdaj tu in tam, naletel na presenečenje, ki je lahko tudi umetnina.
8.–11. september 2011, po 21. uri Trg brez zgodovinskega spomina, AKC Metelkova mesto Sobota 10. september, ob 23. uri: Jubilej, spektakel v spomin na preskok ograje pred 18 leti. Obveščamo vas o projektu Nevena Korde, našega stalnega sodelavca na področju videa in arhivov. Od samega začetka Paralelni svetovi na nebu nad Metelkovo ustvarjajo okolje, ki s pridihom svetovljanskosti, obvladovanja tehnologij in z lahkotnostjo ustvarjenega ozračja privabljajo umetnike robnih, raziskovalnih, intermedijskih in v vsakem pogledu interdisciplinarnih praks, da se preizkusijo v čarobnem vzdušju.
Communist totalitarian system which reigned in Eastern Europe a large part of the 20. Century seeded fear in the e.g. western democracies on the basis of enforced propaganda that had created numerous stereotypes about some kind of hermetically closed space. Poverty, repression, lawlessness, specific urbanisation and aggressive industrialisation are probably some of the most common misconceptions of the “wild east” before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall. All this stereotypes had vehemently found their way into the context of fine arts that considers eastern part of the old continent as a morbid and dark place. The selection of five works shows different genres and generations of video artists from Slovenia that are presenting this dark motives of decaying industrial spaces but they interpret it in different ways that are not necessarily negative.
Curated by: Miha Colner In the video entitled Away Ana Sluga (2006) presents painful demolition of an old building that is symbolising the end of a period in time on the personal and public level. The capitalist system has became a global dogma that shows no respect to past. It aims at reshaping and uniforming all the people and places of the entire Earth. In music video spot It Rains by hard-core group Tožibabe [Kiss and Tell] Zemira Alajbegović & Neven Korda (1986) present a dark picture of the urban centre, their marginal and industrial structures that reflect rebellious spirit of Yugoslav hard-core movement in the 80s. In acted video performance Song of Flesh and Image Was Made Body Marko Kovačič (1985) uses stage scenery of heavy industry production hall for a subtle portray of interplay between fiction and reality. It is based on seeing the already seen and recycling the scenes of the past in an entirely new context. In computer animated video Zone D TEMP Group or a part of the group (Robertina Šebjanič, Peter Košir, Luka Prinčič) (2005) presented the possibilities of changing the purpose of degenerated, mostly, industrial districts in Ljubljana and juxtaposed them to the living urban spaces. Zone D was a part of a wider project by TEMP Group that had in 2006 squatted abandoned Rog Factory in the centre of the capital city for cultural purposes and other public interests. In cooperation with the dance group En Knap Sašo Podgoršek (1996)created dance video work Vertigo Bird. He used elements of performing arts and contemporary dance to present a personal relationship of choreographer Iztok Kovač to his home town filled with industrial remains and abandoned mine shafts.
