The project includes three exhibitions. Besides <em>Alla Ricerca dell&#8217;Aura Perduta \/ In Search of a Lost Aura<\/em> (curator: Paolo Toffolutti), a solo exhibition <em>Andreja Kulun\u010di\u010d: Different Voices<\/em> (curator: Antun Mara\u010di\u0107) and a group exhibition <em>Omnia ab Uno: l\u2019Artista come Sciamano ed Etnografo \/ The Artist as Shaman and Etnographer<\/em> (curator: Josip Zanki). <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the exhibition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>In Search of a Lost Aura<\/em> is a contemporary art exhibition about the visual injunction we are forced to face in this second modernity we are living in. An exhibition that goes from sixties until now, with 70 works of art of accomplished as much as unknown and emergent artists. Works that analyze the topic of the screen-facade, of the representation and negotiation of the look between subject and other. A mediation that passes through the screen &#8211; Alice in Wonderland &#8211; of the media, always more intelligent and independent. A device that we used to use to address others, and that now is turned inside out. A screen that, instead of building relations, incarcerates inside a web. A world wide web that bounded the entire planet. Since we live in a present always more rapid, timeless, made of wide spaces and narrow moments, the resetting of time and duration has completely transformed the anthropological meaning of human relations, the surround and other\u2019s perception. The title of the exhibition and its contents ambiguously recall this new proustian or Spilbergian temporality, combined with the concept of aura expressed by Walter Benjamin in its 1936\u2019s essay; its loss and, nowadays, its reconstruction, or new virginity, in the digital era. From Andy Warhol to Alberto Vidissoni, like from everybody to anybody. A mental map inside a cultural and political geography, for many still to be explored.<\/p>\n<p>Paolo Toffolutti<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/The-Irresponsible-Eye.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">L\u2019Occhio Irresponsabile \/ The Irresponsible Eye (pdf)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Comunicato-Stampa-Alla-Ricerca-dellAura-Perduta.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Press release Alla Ricerca dell&#8217;Aura Perduta (pdf, in Italian)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.neoassociazione.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.neoassociazione.org<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.galleriaspazzapan.it\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.galleriaspazzapan.it<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/457843637967511\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fb event<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>I am participating with two series of drawings: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/eng\/drawings\/i-promise-to-change-the-world-but-only-if-10-other-people-will-do-the-same\">I promise to change the world but only if 10 other people will do the same<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/eng\/drawings\/i-am-aware-of-the-possibility-to-be-misunderstood\">I am aware of the possibility to be misunderstood<\/a> and video <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/eng\/video\/personal-advice\">Personal Advice<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/risbe\/i-promise-to-change-the-world-but-only-if-10-other-people-will-do-the-same\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Bukovec_I-promise-to-change...3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3284\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/risbe\/i-am-aware-of-the-possibility-to-be-misunderstood\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Bukovec-I-am-aware...5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3285\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/video\/personal-advice\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Bukovec-Personal-Advice1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3286\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<table class=\"povzetek\">\n<tr>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"200px\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/eng\/archives\/2579\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.vesna-bukovec.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/In-Search-of-Lost-Aura_1.jpg\" width=\"190\"  \/><\/a><\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\">International group exhibition<br \/>\nGalleria Regionale d&#8217;Arte Contemporanea Luigi Spazzapan, Gradisca d&#8217;Isonzo, IT<br \/>\n10 March \u2013 4 April 2018<\/p>\n<p>Curator: Paolo Toffolutti<br \/>\nArtists: Marina Abramovi\u0107 &#038;
