Within the context of DIVA Station, an archive of video and new media art, SCCA-Ljubljana is continuously preparing exhibitions with specific themes involving in-depth research. In 2016, the current exhibition curated by Nika Grabar questions the meaning of space in chosen video works by artists Zemira Alajbegović, Neven Korda/Borghesia, Marko Peljhan, Sašo Podgoršek & Iztok Kovač, Nataša Prosenc Stearns, Miha Vipotnik.
Considering the fact that the curated selection was based on observations of the use of space and architecture in videos, the exhibition concept is exploring the question of how to provide the chosen videos with an adequate setting that would at the same time address their contents. As a result, the exhibition takes the visitor on a tour of six different spatial installations beginning with spatial screenings (Discipline, Vertigo Bird), to be followed by installations placing the video in a relationship with the spatial object, and thereby with the human body (Path of Crazy Wisdom, The Park of Culture, Construct, Quick/Slow).
You are cordially invited to attend the opening of the exhibition Proximity Effect on Tuesday, 15 March 2016 at 7 pm. at the Vžigalica Gallery in Ljubljana.
