Word for Word, without Words
Exhibition

September 15-October 30, 2010
City Art Museum, Mestni trg 5, Ljubljana

We are informing you about Vesna Bukovec, SCCA-Ljubljana webmaster and Marija Mojca Pungerčar, editor of Artservis participation at the group exhibition.

Vesna Bukovec is participating with the video Important News and Marija Mojca Pungerčar with the project Socialdress - Voluminous Trousers.

What happens if we divest language of figurativeness and start taking it literally, word for word? With a number of selected idioms from the Slovenian language as our points of departure we have explored linguistic directness and presented it in an interdisciplinary show.
