Art in a Suitcase
Curatorator’s intervention

September 1 - October 3, 2010
Events hosted in cities between Berlin and Mediterranean

SCCA webmaster Vesna Bukovec is participating with her video It Will Be OK in a curatorial project Art in a Suitcase by Vasja Nagy. The project was conceived as a journey of a curator, who carries a suitcase packed with art works and travels to different places with intention to establishing a direct relationship between works of art, audience, artists and various functions in curatorial practice.

The initial selection of works acts as a travelling exhibition, which can fits into a normal suitcase and can be presented virtually in any place in a way that suits best to the artworks. The selection keeps being open for further interventions and acceptance of other artis’ works throughout the whole journey, with intention to change existing relationships and add other meanings.

Participating artists (at departure):
Uršula Berlot, Marko Brecelj, Vesna Bukovec, Gani LLalloshi, Žiga Okorn, Bojan Radovič, Tilen Žbona
