V obdobju težnje po dematerializaciji sveta skozi tehnološke komunikacije in digitalne odnose se je porodila ideja o ponovnem obratu k snovnemu. Umetniška dela v kuratorski viziji utelešajo subjektivno vizijo materialnega v okviru širokega diapazona avtorskih pristopov. Ker je vsak izbor inherentno fragmentaren, se kot kuratorja razstave in umetnostna zgodovinarja odrekava tako enciklopedičnim pretenzijam kot aspiracijam po formiranju novih kanonov ter pisanju nove dogme zgodovine umetnosti. Gibalo razstave je sopostavljanje umetniških del avtorjev in avtoric, ki pripadajo različnim miljejem, a razkrivajo sorodne ustvarjalne vzgibe. Tako se v prostoru vzpostavlja konstelacija del, postavljenih v manj formalne odnose, ki mehča utesnjujoče konceptualistične diktate in se prepušča subjektivnemu toku misli in občutij, s čimer se odpirajo novi dialogi med deli in avtorji. Razstava je nastajala skozi dinamični dialog predvidevanj, izkušenj, akcij in eksperimenta na vozlišču med umetniškimi deli, prostorom in vsebinskimi opredelitvami. Umetniška dela so v fluidnem prepletu nosilci petih vsebinskih izhodišč materialnosti: 1. snovnost sama na sebi, taktilna materija in mikro zaznava le-te 2. percepcija in refleksija sinergij materialnosti, ki nas obdaja 3. snovnost živega telesa, telesa kot objekta in predmetnega sveta do efemernega roba 4. entropija in razkroj materije 5. nesnovno kot esenca snovnega Materialnost je manifest, izjava o nujnosti ambicioznega delovanja ne glede na otežene okoliščine v obdobju, ki kulturo in umetnost na splošno dojema kot odvečno in nepotrebno. Aleksandra Kostič in Žiga Dobnikar 4

In an age when the tendency is to dematerialize the world through technology and digital communications, an idea of reestablishing material expression has been born. In the curatorial vision, the works of art here embody subjective interpretations of materiality within a wide diapason of authorial approaches. Because any selection is inherently fragmentary, the curators deliberately avoid both encyclopedic pretensions as well as the aspiration to form new canons or new dogmas of the history of art. Driving the exhibition is the juxtaposition of artists who fall into markedly different milieux, yet reveal related creative impulses. Thus, a constellation of works is created, set in an informal and relaxed attitude, softening stifling conceptual dictates, freeing a subjective stream of thought on which a new dialogue between the works and the authors can float. The exhibition comes to life through a dynamic dialogue between experiences, actions and experiments at the node of art work, space, and substantive definitions: 1. materiality itself as pure, touchable matter, and the micro-perception thereof 2. perception and reflection of the synergies of materiality that surrounds us 3. substantiality of the living body, the body as an object and world of things 4. entropy and decay of matter 5. the immaterial as the essence of the material Materiality is a manifesto, a statement on the necessity of ambitious works regardless of the harsh current climate in which culture and art in general are perceived as redundant and unnecessary. Aleksandra KostiÄ? and Ĺ˝iga Dobnikar 5

Laibach Umetniška in glasbena skupina Laibach je bila ustanovljena l. 1980 v Trbovljah. Laibach je postmodernistično uvedel termin retro avantgarda.

Ob 30-letnici ustvarjanja so bile številne pregledne razstave, tako med drugim v UGM Maribor, HDLU Zagreb kot v Tate Modern v Londonu. The art group/band Laibach was founded in 1980 in Trbovlje. In a post-modernist spirit, Laibach introduced the term “retro avant-garde”. Its members are advocates of the idea of collective work without individual authorship or the principle of hyper-identification. Their 30 years’ anniversary was marked by a number of retrospective exhibitions including UGM Maribor, HDLU Zagreb, and Tate Modern in London. http://www.laibach.org/

Jule Ja Kantor Njen umetniški metajezik temelji na hipnotični moči podobe ter presprašuje fenomen različnih manipulacij – avtorica kot avatarka, ki s svojim slovenskim poreklom zastopa mlajšo zrelo generacijo berlinskega umetnostnega sveta, postavlja v središče svojih kolažiranih svetov človeka ter moč njegovega samozavedanja ter spreminjanja na poti k boljšemu. Umetnico je odkril in jo zastopa Private View by Maja Škerbot. Her artistic meta-language is based on the hypnotic power of image and is intended as a means of requestioning the phenomenon of various manipulations – the author as an avatar, representing with her Slovene origin the younger generation of the Berlin art world, places at the center of her collagefilled worlds man and the power of his self-awareness and changing for the better. The artist was discovered and is represented by Private View by Maja Škerbot. http://www.privateview.org/
