ARCHITECTURA ≠ ART | Marjetica Potrč & Rado Riha

A SERIES OF LECTURES AND DISCUSSIONS. Architecture can hardly be defined as a purely artistic or a purely technical practice. The point of departure of our architecture ≠ art programme is the question of whether architecture is or is not art. By posing this question, we enter the very core of the problem of architectural creation - that is, we question the very definition of architecture.

SYMPOSIUM | What’s in a Name?

Proper names indicate subjects in their social and political surroundings, allowing for individuals to be distinguished. But names can also act as deregulating agents of subjects, as well as of governmental procedures. Names are performative – they can ‘stand’ for what or whom they indicate in the same way that they can destabilize them.

9TH TRIENNIAL OF CONTEMPORARY ART U3 | Dead and Alive

What is the avant-garde in Slovenia concerned with today? The question sounds simple, almost banal, but it brings two subjects back into the realm of debate – the existence of the avant-garde and contemporaneity. First of all, let’s ask whether the avant-garde in Slovenia is alive or dead. What the curator has found in his field research is that it is both – it is alive and dead at the same time.

COMMENTARY #11 | Izar Lunaček: Rent-a-Sin, or, You Can Take Everything Back

Izar’s line drawing of the first two people facing the classic dilemma will adorn the MSUM vestibule for a while in an attempt to rock the boat a bit in this awesome time we’re living in, when everything is both unspeakably fateful, part of one’s browsing history and stored online for all eternity, and, on the other hand, ephemeral, transient, exchangeable after a month if one grows tired of it or realizes the style doesn’t suit.

Her aim is to represent an appearance based on bodiless objecthood, where materiality results from the adaptation to the body.

We’re home again, now truly isolated for the first time. We’re seeing our kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms with new eyes, and we’re fully aware of the smell of our apartments and houses for the first time, of their comforts and beauty or else the peeling plaster and drafty windows. Some dream interpreters say that when we dream about our homes we’re really dreaming about ourselves, as though our homes were as unique as we are. You are what your home is. But it’s not that simple.

DRAUGHT | Maxime Berthou, Mark Požlep, Hogshead 733

Mark Požlep works in the visual and performative arts, with spatial installations and video art. His artistic practice involves journey-travels, which function both as extended duration performance/endurance art and as art pieces in themselves. It is an intense procedural exploration that aims to reveal the tension between politics, poetics, and individual action.

EXHIBITION | Tobias Putrih: Perceptron

PHOTO | Tobias Putrih: Perceptron

In his conceptual, materially ephemeral projects that move between sculpture, architecture, and science, Tobias Putrih engages 20th century avant-gardes, in particular their utopian and visionary concepts of architecture and design. His works often take the shape of design proposals or models of existing architectural designs and historical ideas. Finding inspiration in the heritage of architectural experiment, such as the works of Buckminster Fuller, Friedrich Kiesler, and Yona Friedman, Putrih creates architectural modifications of public spaces.
