About the screening

There is a point of contact: feminity
Feminity: simultaneously drowning in phantasies, artificial creations, wishes, norms of the reality

There is no road to absolute knowledge.
Rather a kind of wandering, tasting, an audio-visual exploration without definite end.

Are you sure what you are going to be in a second?
“How puzzling all these changes are!” – said Alice

Crises and New Beginnings: Art in Slovenia 2005–2015

The exhibition aims to present a selective overview of developments just past or still taking place, and attempts to define the main phenomena and trends in contemporary art in Slovenia over the past decade. Covering a wide range of fields and thus also involving the collaboration of several professionals and experts, it is a sequel to the exhibition trilogy from ten years ago, which presented, over three consecutive years (2003 to 2005) the trends in Slovene art and related fields by decade, since 1975.
