Maria Teresa Gonzalez Ramirez, razstava / Exhibition Fragile

Festival sodobne umetnosti Art Stays spada

med najpomembnejše predstavitve

sodobne, predvsem likovne umetnosti v

Sloveniji in v tem delu Evrope. Vse od leta

2003 prinaša produkcijo domačih in tujih

u m e t n i k o v , o d n a j b o l j z n a n i h d o

najperspektivnejših. Do danes je festival

gostil preko 700 umetnikov, med njimi

velika imena sodobne umetnosti, kot so

Yoko Ono, Gilbert & George, Allora &

Calzadilla, Ivan Navarro, Ann & Patrick

Poirier in Hannah Collins.

Največji slovenski festival sodobne

vizualne umetnosti Art Stays v šestnajsti

ediciji poteka pod naslovom FRAGILE. Z

letošnjim izborom partnerjev, kustosov in

umetnikov postavlja projekt na še višji nivo.

Preko del svetovnih zvezd kot so Ai

Weiwei, Monira Al Qadiri, Thomas Schütte,

Koen Vanmechelen, Gavin Turk, Jake &

Dinos Chapman in mnogih drugih, se

posveča lomljivosti likovnih materialov in

tako posredno nagovarja krhkost odnosov

ter čustev v sodobni družbi.

Steklo, keramika, papir, rastlinje in druge

oblike narave so bile stalnica vsako-

dnevnih otvoritev razstav, ki vam ponujajo

poletni umik v širok spekter kiparstva,

fotografije, slikarstva, instalacij, videa,

performansov in glasbe. Festival so

pospremili mojstri kulinarike in vinarji,

filmski program ter poletna akademija Art

Stays z delavnicami in pogovori o aktualnih

temah.

Se vidimo naslednje poletje.

Art Stays is one of the most important

festivals of contemporary fine art in

Slovenia and in this part of Europe. It has

been showcasing works of renowned and

up-and-coming national and international

artists since 2003. So far, the festival has

hosted over 700 artists, including such

famous names as Yoko Ono, Gilbert &

George, Allora & Calzadilla, Ivan Navarro,

Ann & Patrick Poirier, and Hannah Collins.

The sixteenth edition of the largest

Slovenian contemporary visual art festival

Art Stays is entitled FRAGILE and with the

selection of partners, curators and artists is

taking the festival to a highest level.

Through the works of Contemporary Art

stars such as Ai Weiwei, Monira Al Qadiri,

Thomas Schütte, Koen Vanmechelen.

Gavin Turk, Jake & Dinos Chapman and

many others it focuses on fragility of art

materials, and indirectly addresses the

fragility of relationships and emotions in

modern society.

Glass, ceramics, paper, plants and other

forms of natural life were the common

thread at every exhibition opening. They

offer a retreat to the vast worlds of

sculpturing, photography and painting, as

well as art installations, performances, and

music. The festival was complemented by

creations of Ptuj’s best chefs and wine-

makers, and accompanied by a film

program, as well as Art Stays summer

academy with workshops and talks about

topical issues.

See you next summer!

Prihodnost zgleda žalostno, če se izrazimo nekoliko neustrezno. Skupna prihodnost našega

planeta je negotova, trpi za posledicami ravnanja dobe, ki jo naznanja Antropocen - doba

človeka. Temelji našega nekdanjega optimizma se sesedajo pod težo nepojmljivih sprememb,

ki si jih nismo mogli zamisliti. Ravnovesje med kaosom in redom je dlje stran, kot kdajkoli

prej. Razlog za to je vdaja dvomu in veri v vstajenje starih bogov. Informacije predstavljajo

znanje in znanje je moč. Ta aksiom se je nedavno utopil v močvirju sprenevedanja in

manipulacije. Vzpon avtoritarizma nas opominja na pretekle katastrofe in obljube grozečega

prevrata. Prihodnost je puščava. To je podoba s katero nas vsakodnevno hranijo. Če lahko

utripajoča krila metulja sprožijo nevihto na drugi strani planeta, se danes zavedamo, da lahko

utrip ideje v svetu sproži pojav, ki osvoji um univerzuma kot cunami. Obvladovanje

neškodljivih tovrstnih pojavov, zmanjševanje negativizma in pazljiva skrb za Vrt upanja, so

lahko načini, kako krotiti pesimizem in mu ne dovoliti, da postane del sanj in fantazij.

Tema te razstave, ki temelji na eklektični zbirki Fundazione Berengo, se osredinja na

lomljivost, na krhkost načina, na katerega ustvarjamo svojo prihodnost. Kreacije so produkt

uravnoteženih neravnovesij. Kreativnost je zapleten proces, ko gre za velike razsežnosti, ki

zahtevajo delikatnost, inspiracijo, veščine in vero v moč domišljije. Na tej posebni razstavi

vsaka soba predstavlja lomljivost posameznih elementov, sestavljanke, če želite, ki sestavljajo

naš svet na poti skozi transformacijo.

Ena izmed sob nam podaja sliko lomljivosti vere. Simbolna sklonjena glava, planet in

upognjen hrbet pred superiornim bitjem. Gesta nepomembnosti, podredljivosti in razdor.

Soba z naslovom »Krhkost kulture« razmišlja o ekscesu dekadence, medtem ko druge

prikažejo prekarnost družbe, tapiserijo, ki jo je lažje uničiti, kot splesti. Govori o odkritjih in

naravi, naši stari zibelki, ki jo vsi ljubimo in sovražimo, potrebujemo in ji nasprotujemo.

Razstava sama po sebi je bogata tapiserija različnih idej in izrazov, perspektiv in pristopov.

Gre za spajanje različnih sestavin iz vsega sveta. Košara s semeni je imela namen pognojiti um.

Vsako od teh semen dobi čas in prostor, da se vcepi in injicira, da spodbudi in raste, da se

skrije in se znova razkrije, da oplodi in se izvali. Zato tudi njihovo srečanje na krhkem otoku,

kot grozd pojavov. Kaj so pravi pogoji v katerih lahko ustvarimo skupno prihodnost? Meduza

v glavni sobi prikazuje krhkost narave, predstavlja stvari, ki jih ni moč napovedati in kaže na

rešitev enormne naloge, ki nas čaka, skoraj Sizifovo delo izdelovanja trajnostne prihodnosti za

vse, kar je Gaja. Meduza predstavlja dvojnost, ki sta red in kaos. Daje življenje, ko ga hkrati

spreminja v kamen. Njena zaščita je smrt drugega. Ko zmaje z glavo pomeni, da je plodnost

zagotovljena, prav tako pa tudi popolna predaja. V tej dihotomiji Meduza predstavlja

ravnovesje in kaže na dolgotrajen uspeh evolucije. Na glavi ne nosi le kač, pač pa tudi kokoši,

ptiča z dvoumno pomembnostjo. V sodobni medicini so kokošja jajca pogosto osnova za

GLASSTRESS PTUJ SLOVENIJAkustos / curator: Koen Vanmechelen

mnoga cepiva in zdravila. Kokoši so simbol ženske moči. Tako kot kače, pa tudi kokoši lahko

ubijajo, saj so inkubatorji usodnih katastrof. Nevarnost vedno preži na nas v stvareh, ki jih

poznamo. To kar je znotraj je zunaj in mi smo tisto drugo. Rešitev za naše težavne čase je moč

najti le v nas samih. Obstaja način, kako pogledati Meduzi v oči in preživeti. Tvoje preživetje je

preživetje drugih.

The future looks bleak, to use an understatement. Our collective future on a planet suffering

from the unforgiving consequences of the Anthropocene, the Age of Man, seems problematic.

The foundations of our former optimism are crumbling under the weight of previously

unimaginable transformations. The balance between chaos and order looks further away than

ever before. Reason is succumbing to doubt and the belief in the resurrection of old gods.

Information is knowledge and knowledge is power. This axiom recently drowned in a morass

of fakery and manipulation. The rise of authoritarianism reminds us of past disasters and

promises of impending upheaval. The future is a wasteland. At least, this is the impression we

are fed daily. If the flight of a butterfly can cause a storm at the other side of the planet, we

now realize that a flicker of an idea can grow into a meme that conquers the universal mind

like a tsunami. Controlling harmful memes, downplaying negativism and carefully tending

the Garden of Hope can be ways to curb pessimism, while never giving in to pipedreams and

virtual fantasies.

The theme of this exhibition, based on the eclectic collection of the Fondazione Berengo, deals

with the fragility, the brittleness of the way in which we are constructing our future. Creations

are the product of balanced imbalances. Creativity is a hyper-complex process on such a vast

scale that requires delicacy, inspiration, mastery and a belief in the power of imagination. In

this gem of an exhibition different rooms represent the brittleness of various key elements,

puzzles if you like, that form our current world in full transformation mode.

One room reflects about the brittleness of religion. The symbolical bowing head, the planet

and the arching of the back to a superior Being. A gesture of insignificance, surrender and

'geworfen sein' that finds its remarkable pendant in expressions of dominance, submission,

and strife. The 'brittleness of culture' room ponders on the cultural excess of decadence while

other rooms instill thoughts about the precarity of society, a tapestry more easily destroyed

than woven, about discovery and nature, our old cradle we love and hate, need and oppose.

The exhibition itself is a rich tapestry of ideas and expressions, perspectives and approaches. It

is an eclectic collection of different ingredients from all over the world. A basket of seeds, so to

speak, meant to fertilize minds. Each and one of these seeds get the space and the time to

instill and inject, to spur and grow, to bury and reveal itself, to fertilise and hatch. Hence their

gathering on a fragile island, as a cluster of memes. What are the right conditions to construct

the texture for our collective future? The Medusa, in the main room, showing the 'brittleness of

nature', represents the unpredictability of things but also points to a solution for the enormous

task that awaits us, the almost Sisyphean work of carving out a sustainable future for all and

everything which is Gaia. Medusa stands for the duality of order and chaos. She inspires life

while turning it into stone. Her protection is someone else's demise. Her snakehead means

secure fertility as well as ultimate surrender. In this Medusa, however, this dichotomy finds a

balance and points to long-term evolutionary success. She does not wear only snakes but also

chickens, a bird which importance is ambiguous too. In modern medicine, chicken eggs are the

base of many medications and vaccinations. Hens are a symbol of feminine power. Like

21

22

snakes, however, chickens can kill too, being incubators of new lethal diseases for mankind.

Danger always lurks in what is known to us. Inside is outside, and we are the other. A

solution for our troubled times can be found in ourselves. There is a way to look into the

Medusa's eyes and get away with it. Survival of yourself is survival of the other.

Krhkost, tema šestnajste izdaje festivala Art Stays, lahko prevzema različne oblike, od formalnih

do notranjih, vse do delovanja časa, ki z minevanjem načenja naš spomin. V Miheličevi galeriji na

Ptuju bodo dialog odprle osebne intervencije treh avtorjev, ki s pomočjo fotografskega medija,

vsak z drugačno formalno in konceptualno perspektivo, podajajo razmišljanja o specifični temi.

Silvia Camporesi (Forli, 1973) je več let hodila po polotoku in skozi fotografsko pripoved

zapuščenih vasi in zgradb, kjer najdemo znake in predmete, sledove preteklih časov, ustvarila

idealno preslikavo Italije, ki izginja. Kot rezultat je nastal ciklus Atlas Italiae, o katerem je avtorica

leta 2016 v intervjuju s Francesco Mattozzi za Artribune povedala, da »obravnava mesta, ujeta na

vrhuncu njihove krhkosti, kraje, ki morda že čez leto dni ne bodo več obstajali, saj bodo zrušeni ali

prestrukturirani. Med propadajočimi strukturami pa sem vseeno iskala varuhe spominov, nekaj,

kar bi mi lahko pripovedovalo o zgodbi teh zidov in o spominu tistih, ki so nekdaj tam živeli«.

Če se poglobimo v raziskovanje, ki se ga je v zadnjem desetletju lotila Silvia Camporesi, lahko

hitro opazimo, da je nanjo vplivala množica predlogov in da se vedno giblje na mejnem področju

med resničnostjo in fikcijo, med prekrivno in režirano fotografijo. Tudi v delu, ki je razstavljeno

na Ptuju, se avtorica, čeprav gre za geografski pregled s točno določeno temo, poigrava s tovrstno

dvoumnostjo in »spreminja« kraje tako, da fotografije ročno prebarva. Gre za poseg, ki ni omejen

zgolj na formalni vidik, temveč v prenesenem pomenu predstavlja željo po ponovni oživitvi teh

območij in hkrati sporoča, da njihova usoda še ni zapečatena. Poleg tega z barvanjem (slednje se

nanaša na starodavno tehniko iz samega začetka fotografije, ki se je je med drugim posluževal

Felice Beato, najpomembnejši predstavnik jokohamske šole) ustvarja kratek stik, saj upošteva

drugačno časovno dinamiko izdelave, ki se razlikuje od ekstremne hitrosti, značilne za današnjo

digitalno fotografijo.

Paolo Ciregia (Viareggio, 1987) s serijo Perestrojka ponuja razmislek o našemu dojemanju, ki je

nenehno podvrženo bombardiranju s podobami vojne in smrti, zaradi česar postajamo

neobčutljivi na bolečino in prikrajšani za pravo kritično zavest. V odgovor je avtor uporabil

reportažne slike, posnete v obdobju štirih let vojne med ukrajinsko vojsko in ruskimi separatisti

(na trgu Majdan, ob odcepitvi Krima, med spopadi v Donbasu), ki poteka že od leta 2014, jih

obdelal s prekrivanjem, obrezovanjem in jedkanjem ter tako ustvaril drugačen ikonografski

repertoar, s katerim lahko poustvarja pripoved o konfliktu. Instalacija, ustvarjena na ta način, teži

k destabilizaciji vizije in preprečuje, da bi dosegli to, kar je Roland Barthes (v intervenciji

Šokantne fotografije iz dela Mitologije, 1957) opredelil kot »popolno berljivost prizora, njegovo

prileganje, ki nas odvrača od poglobljenega sprejemanja slike v njeni škandaloznosti; fotografija,

zreducirana na stanje čiste govorice, nas ne more dezorganizirati«. Med razstavljenimi

fotografskimi deli je tudi Glasnost iz leta 2015, kjer lahko vidimo ljudi, kako se sklanjajo nad

ležečo figuro, morda ranjencem ali truplom, čigar telo je umetnik z intervencijo skril pred našimi

pogledi in ga pretvoril v preprosto belo silhueto. V družbi, kot je naša, prepolni šokantnih podob,

sta bolečina in smrt postali neke vrste zabava, producirana s strani množičnih medijev, na katero

smo se navadili in ki nas več ne destabilizira; ravno zato je umetnik ubral drugo pot, tako da skozi

horror vacui zanikanih človeških potez ustvarja čustveno napetost, ki nas ne more pustiti

ravnodušnih.

Mustafa Sabbagh (Aman, 1961) dobro pozna moč vizualnih toposov umetnostne zgodovine, ki

jih v svojih fotografijah preslikava v sodobno raziskovanje, saj je anahronizem, kot nas opominja

umetnostni zgodovinar Georges Didi-Huberman, »časovni način za izražanje presežkov, 1kompleksnosti, prekomernega determiniranja podob« , pri čemer posnetek v sebi združuje

2»montažo heterogenih časov« . Sabbaghova dela pri oblikovanju podobe zavestno vključujejo

ikonske motive, otroke nezavednega, ki se nenehno hranijo s kulturnimi dražljaji, ki obsegajo

likovno umetnost in literaturo, film, glasbo in gledališče, vse do alternativnih trendov in

virtualne resničnosti spleta. Čeprav vsa sklicevanja niso popolnoma natančna, korpus del Onore

al Nero (2014 – danes) predstavlja zmagoslavje teles v klasičnih pozah, kjer sobivajo postave in

ikonografski modeli umetnostne zgodovine ter postajajo formalno sredstvo, na katerega se

navezujejo določene eksistencialne teme, povezane s sodobnostjo. Resnični izvor umetnikovega

ustvarjanja je dihotomična napetost med resničnostjo in fikcijo; ta je vplivala na rojstvo serije

Onore al Nero, ki se želi s podobami režirane fotografije poglobiti v notranjost osebe in s

portretiranimi podobami predstaviti arhetipe človeških stanj v različnih oblikah, vključno z

notranjo krhkostjo. Za posnetke iz te serije je značilna odsotnost perspektivne linije, ki še

potencira izumetničenost pripovedi, skoraj tako, kot da bi bile figure predmet tihožitja: ravno

ozadje sili pogled, da se ustavi na telesu, koži, uprizorjeni obrazni mimiki. Moč čustvene

deflagracije slike tako leži ravno v kontrastu med raznolikostjo dveh osnovnih elementov

fotografije (načrt / gradnja – resnica / psihologija).

Fragility, the theme of this year's festival of contemporary art Art Stays, comes in many shapes,

whether it is formal or inner, sometimes it reflects the time, which passes by and influences on

our memory. In Mihelič gallery you are able to see a dialogue between three artists. They use

photography to accentuate their reflections on a specific theme, each with a different form and

conceptual perspective.

Silvia Camporesi (Forli, 1973) walks around the island for years. Through the photographic story

she presented abandoned buildings and villages, where we find objects and signs, traces of times

that passed. She has created an ideal picture of Italy that is vanishing. As a result a cycle Atlas of

Italy was born. The author commented it in an interview with Francesco Mattozzi for Artribune

that she “presents the cities at the peak of their fragility, places that may cease to exist in one year,

because they will be demolished and structured in a different way. Among this demolished

structures I looked for the guardians of memory, for something that would tell me a story about

this walls, about people that lived there.”

If we look into the research that Silvia Camporesi has done in the past years, we soon realize that

many suggestions influenced on her work and that she is always in-between, between reality and

fiction, between staged photography and photography that covers. This is evident as well in her

work presented in Ptuj, where the author presents ambiguity and »changes« places with a

technique of hand colouring the photos. This is something that is not only a part of a form, but it

presents also the wish to renew the places. With colouring the photographs, which is an old

technique, used by the early master Felice Beato, the most important representative of Yokohama

school, she takes into account a different time consuming technique, as opposed to contemporary,

extremely quick digital photography.

Paolo Ciregia (Viareggio, 1987) with his series Perestrojka offers a reflection on our perception,

which is constantly bombarded with images of war and death, making us become insensitive to

pain and deprived of critical sentiments. The exhibition consists of reportage photographs taken

during the Ukrainian conflict (Majdan square, Dombas conflict), which Ciregia later manipulated

using overlaps, cuts, trims and erasures, to create a different kind of iconographic repertoire, used

to recreate and distort the manner in which the story of the conflict is being told. Installation,

created in this way, tends to destabilize the vision and prevents to reach that, which Roland

Barthes (intervention Shocking photographs in his work Mythologies, 1957) named “a total

readability of a scene, his perfect fit, that diverts us from deeper understanding of a photo in its

scandalous manner. A photo, reduced to its state of pure talk, cannot disorganize us.” Among the

works exhibited there is also the artwork Loudness from 2015, where we can see a group of people

leaning upon the lying figure, maybe a wounded person or a corpse, his body had been hidden by

the artist and transformed in a simple white figure. In a society full of shocking images, like ours,

pain and death became some kind of an amusement, produced by mass media. We got used to it

and those images are not destabilizing us. That is why the artist chose another path; through

horror vacui he forms an emotional tension.

49

Mustafa Sabbagh (Aman, 1961) knows the power of visual topos of art history and uses it in a

contemporary sense in his research, because anachronism, as art historian Georges Didi-

Huberman says: “is a timely manner to express surplus, complexity, over determination of 1 2images. “ where footage combines “assembling of heterogenic worlds.” Works of Sabbagh form

an image with an intentional usage of iconographic images, children of unconscious, which are

preserved with cultural impulses. They consist of art and literature, film, music and theatre, as

well as alternative trends and virtual realities of internet. Corpus del Onore al Nero (2014 – today)

presents a triumph of bodies in classical poses, where iconographic models of art history and

body live side by side and are becoming a formal means on which existential themes are pinned

that are connected with contemporary society. The source of artist's endeavours is the tension

between fiction and truth; this influenced a birth of series Onore al Nero, which present the

images of staged photography and delve into the inner of a person, presenting the archetypes of

human conditions, including inner fragility. The absence of perspective lines is crucial for these

photos, because it intensifies the artificial story, figures are almost the part of the still life. The

background forces us that our eyes stop at the skin, the body and the facial expressions. The

power of the photo lies therefore in a contrast between two fundamental parts of photography

(plan / construction – truth / psychology).

Mednarodna skupinska razstava FRAGILE, iz katere izhaja celoten umetniški, kreativni in

kuratorski projekt 16. festivala ART STAYS, v prostorih Dominikanskega samostana na Ptuju

pod kuratorstvom Marike Vicari in Jerneja Forbicija, prikazuje igro vseobsegajočih in občasno

nepričakovanih dialogov med krhkostjo materije, umetnosti, človeka in njegove prihodnosti.

KRHKO / MATERIJA

Razstava se pričenja s skulpturami iz črnega pihanega stekla, s Celato večplastnega italijanskega

umetnika Andree Morucchija, ki nakazuje na odprt dialog med krhkostjo materije in človeka.

Izdelane so bile s pomočjo, posebej za to priložnost ustvarjenega kalupa, tako imenovane Atilove

čelade z vrabčevim kljunom iz 15. stoletja, ki jo hranijo v orožarski zbirki Doževe palače v

Benetkah. Kot pravi umetnik: »čelado lahko interpretiramo kot podobo medkulturnosti, ki

presega časovne okvirje in tako služi kot metafora neprestanih povratkov ali nespremenjenih

okoliščin, onstran različnih časov in krajev zgodovinsko-časovnega napredka«.

Če se Morucchio v delu B[æ]d Time ironično poigrava s fonetično transkripcijo pridevnika bad in

samostalnika bed / postelja, kot prikazuje njegova skulptura, pa instalacija slovenske umetnice

Polone Demšar vzpostavlja dialog med krhkostjo materije, tudi tukaj stekla in zbledelimi

podobami otroških obrazov, ki se zdijo kot ujete med oblikami rafiniranega inštrumenta, kot je

violina.

Prisiljeno skupaj je naslov originala in velike inštalacije narejene iz keramike in drugih materialov,

ki je bila ustvarjena posebej za festival Art Stays. Ustvaril jo je slovenski umetnik Boštjan Novak.

Medtem ko Alice Zanin iz papirja ustvarja barvne skulpture, živali iz besed, ki po njenih besedah

opisujejo »ironičen diskurz o ideji kratkotrajnosti, prehodnosti in spremenljivosti, pri čemer

lahko besedni element v njegovi človeški vrednosti zagotovo zasledimo v osebnem in ironičnem

govoru o sami ideji«, pa Giuseppe Piscopo z istim materialom, prav tako papirjem, gradi

spomenik posvečen preprostemu življenju otrok. V tem primeru konj predstavlja spomin na

otroštvo, na njem pa knjiga, dve knjigi … Pripoved, ki nas pelje daleč proč, čeprav ostajamo na

mestu. Različna dela, blazine iz papirja, sledijo miselnim impulzom umetnika in človeka, ob tem

pa ustvarjajo nova čustva.

Instalacija SEmi tandema LALOBA AnnaCrescenzi&RenataPetti in skulpture Flaming Patrizie

Polese se spogledujejo s krhkostjo materialov, z njihovo kratkotrajnostjo in še posebej z uporabo

naravnih elementov. LALOBA z vejicami lešnika in perjem ponuja razmislek o krhkosti obstoja

vseh živih bitij, vključno z ljudmi in označuje nekaj, kar se lahko prekine, (pre)lomi in je hkrati

tako občutljivo, da potrebuje nego; materiali in teksture del Patrizie Polese pa omogočajo

zajemanje, zapletanje, iskanje nepremičnih točk v začasnosti, kar je tudi osrednja tema njenega

ustvarjanja, s katero materiji dodeli novo identiteto.

Islandska umetnica Rosa Sigrun je predstavila Vortex, velike barvne skulpture različnih

velikosti, ki so nastale s počasnimi tehnikami izdelovanja, kot sta pletenje in kvačkanje. Z njimi

želi razširiti in izpostaviti neskončne možnosti, ki jih ponuja nit.

KRHKO / UMETNOST

Italijanski duo Masbedo je z video Fragile (Krhko, 2016) predstavil mladega moškega, ki obišče

galerijo s pavom. Laura Barreca je napisala: “Hoja med antičnimi znamenitimi deli, simbolnimi

objekti, ki arhetipsko predstavljajo lepoto in prisotnost pava, ki poudarja negotovost živali, ki ne

more izraziti svoje narave. Podoba je sugestivna, saj je celo še bolj dramatična zaradi praznih

hodnikov in nezmožnosti predstavljenih karakterjev. Glavna tema dela je koncept “zdravila”:

stara žival za katero mora skrbeti gospodar je prispodoba uvenele puhlosti in večnega potovanja

v lepoto, potovanje, ki ga je Rainber Maria Rilke opisal kot “ogromno na svojem začetku”.

Krhkost umetnosti na katero se naslov dela nanaša, vodi pogled opazovalca in ne želi zaščititi

umetnosti in kulturne dediščine. Metafora, ki nas opominja na nujo po ohranjanju in skrbi za

umetniška dela in kulturno dediščino, kot obliko odpora proti zobi časa in brezskrbnostjo

človeka.

Nobeno naključje ni, da je to delo umeščeno v povezavi s skulpturami mlade umetnice Federice

Ferzoco, katere prefinjeni in intimni odlitki iz gaze se poigravajo ravno s temo krhkosti teles in

materialov ter se pred očmi opazovalca razkrivajo v intenzivni in subtilni kreativni igri tančic, ki

preoblikujejo in predstavljajo nove identitete.

Umetniška dela in njihova umestitev znotraj izvornega refektorija Dominikanskega samostana

predstavljajo sodobno povezavo med umetnostjo in kulturo preteklosti ter razkrivajo, kako je

lahko zgodovina sama po sebi navdih za prihodnost.

FRAGILE / ČLOVEK

Beloruski umetnik Artsiom Parchynski se pri ustvarjanju osredotoča na krhkost človeškega

stanja. V obeh njegovih delih, tako v instalaciji kot v skulpturi, se skriva človeška figura, ujeta v

materijo. Čeprav po eni strani človek ni izgubil svoje osebnosti in je nekakšna silhueta skulpture

iz kovinske mreže in sena, po drugi strani noge ostajajo ujete v cement, kot da predstavljajo

(morda) šibko upanje na upor. Soočamo se z minljivostjo naše varnosti in vseh socialnih ter

kulturnih konstruktov, ki bodo kmalu postali predmet nove arheološke zbirke.

Poleg človeške ranljivosti se ponuja razmislek tudi o naravi njegove moči, o oblikah, ki jih lahko

prevzame in o posledicah, ki jih lahko povzroči njegov vpliv na družbeno in kulturno življenje v

državi. Tako je nastal film »Chang'an Boulevard«, v katerem je znani kitajski umetnik Ai Weiwei v

rednih časovnih intervalih snemal glavno cesto v Pekingu na vseh petinštiridesetih kilometrih

njene dolžine. Na vsakih petdeset metrov je umetnik za minuto pritrdil kamero pod istim kotom.

Celoten film je sestavljen iz 608ih segmentov, od katerih vsak traja minuto, skupaj pa 10 ur in 13

minut. Pri »Chang'an Boulevard« gre tako za kartiranje, za skupek fragmentov, ki, poleg tega da

dokumentirajo kitajsko prestolnico, sočasno tudi prikličejo točno določene razmere v danem

trenutku življenja mesta, ki je zaznamovano z neprestanimi in korenitimi spremembami

FRAGILE / PRIHODNOST

Tudi prihodnost je krhka, o čemer na razstavi pričajo dela treh umetnikov (Mladen Miljanović,

Andrea Tagliapietra in Santiago Sierra), ki se med seboj zelo razlikujejo v umetniškem,

geografskem in osebnem smislu, a vendar so povezani v istem odnosu do človeškega tkiva in

branja sodobne družbe.

Prihodnost (Future 2017), črn kos granita okrašen z eponimno grafiko in podprt z berglami,

umetniško delo avtorja Mladena Mjilianoviča, je portret z naslovom Make of violence (Narejeno

z nasiljem). Zgleda kot nagrobnik, mrtva, dolgo pozabljena možnost, izgubljena na neskončnem

zvezdnatem nebu kozmosa. Prihodnost stoji kot mož, ki se naslanja na steno in gleda v nas, v

Sedanjost. Prihodnost je ranjen človek, njegova podoba projicira pusto in nemirno perspektivo

fizične in psihološko travmatizirane človekove prihodnosti. Prihodnost bi morala biti polna

upanja. Brez patosa, delo poda jasno trditev, mi, prihodnost ima vse ključe v rokah, da spremeni

Prihodnost v ranjeno, slabo perspektivo ali še huje, da jo pokoplje.

Umetniško raziskovanje Andree Tagliapetre raziskuje človeka, osvetljuje krhkost in nasprotja, ki

ga odlikujejo. Na razstavi skupaj z delom Human side (Človeška stran) je človek primerjan z

živaljo. Umetniško osebno raziskovanje postavlja v ospredje individualne spore ob sobivanju s

primarnimi instinkti in razumom. Z instalacijo tišine, osem človeških glav s široko odprtimi usti,

ki ne morejo kričati in so le v tihem dialogu, ki izraža vso krhkost in nezmožnost izražanja na

svetu.

A Burned word (Ožgana beseda – prihodnost) avtorja Santiaga Sierre, ki je predstavljena v videu v

El Cabanyalu v Valenciji, prikazuje tradicionalno ribiško mesto, ki se je leta borilo proti

špekulativnim načrtom mestnega sveta. Projekt je bil izpeljan v sodelovanju s sosednjimi društvi

in organizacijo Periféries collective. Beseda je bila zgrajena na delavnici Manola Martina.

Interpretacija in po možnosti dokumentiranje stanja negotovosti in nestabilnosti, vidnih posledic

problematičnih političnih, družbenih ali gospodarskih razmer, so elementi, ki zaznamujejo delo

turške umetnice Banuje Cennetoğlu. Mesta, portretirana v video instalaciji Are there any palm

trees in Grozny (2005), so hkrati ločena in povezana; zanje je značilna minljivost njihove uporabe in

pomanjkanje identitete in vezi izključena so iz vsakršnega časovnega razvoja, kot stranski --

produkt družbe, ki jo vodijo interesi za doseganje kvot.

International group exhibition FRAGILE, which is based on the curatorial and artistic project of

the 16th edition of the festival of contemporary art Art Stays, led by curator Marika Vicari and

director of the festival Jernej Forbici, in the premises of the Dominican monastery in Ptuj, presents

a play between all - encompassing and sometimes unexpected dialogues between fragile

materials, art, human and its future.

FRAGILE / MATTER

The exhibition begins with sculptures made of black glass, with Celata of a multi-faceted Italian

artist Andrea Morucchio that inclines an open dialogue between fragility of man and matter.

Sculptures were made with a mould created especially for the festival, so called Attila's helmet

with a sparrow's beak from 15th century, which can be found in a collection of arms in Doge's

Palace in Venice. Artist explains: “this helmet can be interpreted as an image of multiculturalism,

that goes beyond time and serves as a metaphor of constant returns or unchanged circumstances,

beyond different times of historical – time progress.”

If Morucchio ironically plays with phonetical transcription of an adjective bad and noun bed in

the work entitled B[æ]d Time, a Slovene author Polona Demšar opens a dialogue between fragile

matter, here as well glass and faded images of children's faces, that seem trapped in the forms of

refined instrument, like violin.

Forced together is the title of the original and unseen huge installation, made of ceramics and mixed

materials, created especially for the Festival ART STAYS by the Slovenian artist Boštjan Novak.

Alice Zanin creates colorful sculptures made of paper, animals made of words, that describe, as

she says “ironical discourse on idea of short duration, transistorizes and unsteadiness, where the

word element can be traced in personal and ironical speech about the idea.” Giuseppe Piscopo

makes a monument made of the same material, devoted to simple life of children. In this case the

hourse represents a memory on childhood, on it lying one book, two books … A story that brings

us far away, even though we stand on the same spot. Different works, paper cushions, are coming

from impulses of the artist and human and are evoking new feelings.

Instalation SEmi by tandem LALOBA - Anna Crescenzi & Renata Petti and sculptures Flaming

by Patrizie Polese are flirting with fragility of matter, with their short duration and especially

with their use of natural elements. LALOBA with hazel bracelets and feathers offers a reflection

on fragility of existence of all living creatures. It marks something that can be cut, broken and is so

fragile that it needs some care. Materials and textures of Patrizia Polese are enabling entalgement,

searching for set points in temporality, which is also a main theme of her work, with which she

gives the materials new identity.

The Iceland artist Rósa Sigrún presents Vortex, big colored sculptures in variable sizes, created

using slow process techniques, like knitting and crochet. With these techniques, she would like to

expand and bring out the endless possibilities of a thread.

FRAGILE / ART

The Italian duo Masbedo with the video, Fragile (2016) staged a young man's visit to the gallery

halls in the presence of a peacock. Write Laura Barreca about it: “Walking among the

masterpieces of antiquity, symbolic objects of archetypal beauty, the presence of the peacock

underlines the essential precariousness of the living animal and its impairment that renders it

inapt to represent its nature. The image is highly suggestive because it's made even more

dramatic due to the emptiness of the halls, facing the perpetual immobility of the painted

characters. The main theme of these works is the concept of "cure": the old animal, object of the

care of its master, is a metaphor of the combination of a faded vanity and the eternal journey into

beauty, a trip defined by Rainer Maria Rilke as "the tremendous at its beginning." The fragility of

art, to which the title of the work refers to, engages the observer's gaze and warns of the necessity

to provide protection of art and cultural heritage. A metaphor that reminds us of the need to

preserve and care for our artistic and cultural heritage as a form of resistance to time and

carelessness of man”.

This art work is presented together with art works of young artists Federica Ferzoco, which is not

a coincidence. Her work of intimate plaster casts made of gauze are playing with the theme of

brittleness and materials and are revealing themselves in front of an observer as a subtle and

creative play of veils that reform and present new identities.

Art works and their presentation in the refectory of the Dominican monastery represent a link

between art, contemporary times and history, and stresses out how history can be inspiration for

future.

FRAGILE / HUMAN

Belorussian artist Artsiom Parchynski focuses on fragility of human conditions. In both of his

works, in sculpture and in installation, a human figure is hidden trapped into the matter. Even

though the human hasn't lost his identity and is formed out of metal net and hay, his legs are

captured in concrete, as if they represent a slight hope for rebellion. We are facing the

transitoriness of our safety and all social and cultural constructs, that are soon going to be part of

a new archeological collection.

With human transitoriness, the focus goes to reflection of human power as well, about forms that

he can take over, and on consequences his influence can cause on social and cultural life in the

country. In this way a film by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei was produced entitled Chang'an

Boulevard. He filmed the main road in Beijing in regular time intervals on all 45 kilometres of its

length. Every 50 meters the artist fixed his camera for 1 minute at the same angle. The whole

movie is made od 608 segments, of which each is long a minute, together 10 hours and 13 minutes.

Chang'an Boulevard is about mapping, a group of fragments, that are documenting the Chinese

capital town, that are bringing forward certain circumstances in a given moment of the city life,

that is marked by constant change.

FRAGILE / FUTURE

Future is fragile as well, which is shown in the artworks of (Mladen Miljanović, Andrea

Tagliapietra and Santiago Sierra), that are very different in their artistic, geographic and

personal sense, but they are connected in the same relationship towards human form and reading

of contemporary society.

Future (2017) a piece of black granite adorned with the eponymous engraving and supported by

crutches, the artwork of Mladen Miljanović is a portrait made of violence. It looks like a

tombstone, a dead, long-forgotten possibility lost in the infinite starry sky of the cosmos. But

Future stands like a man, leaning against the wall and staring at us, the Present. Future is a

wounded man whose image projects the bleak and uneasy perspective of a physically and

psychologically traumatised humanity's future. Future is, or should be full of hope, though.

Without any pathos, the work makes a clear statement; we, the Present, have all the keys in hand

not to turn Future into a wounded, lame perspective or worse, to bury it.

Andrea Tagliapietra's artistic research investigates the human being, highlighting the fragility

and contradictions that distinguish it. Here in the show with The human side, the human is

compared with the animal. The artist's personal research aims at bringing out the individual's

disagreement in coexisting with the primordial instincts and the necessities of reason. With the

installation silence, eight human heads with mouths wide open, outstretched in the impossibility

of screaming and involved in a silent dialogue that expresses all the fragility and

incommunicability of the word.

A Burned word (future) of Santiago Sierra, rappresented in the video was performed in El

Cabanyal, Valencia, a traditional shing town that for years has been ghting against the

speculative plans of the city council. The project was conducted in collaboration with the

neighborhood association and Periféries collective. The word was built by the fallas Workshops

of Manolo Martin.

Interpretation and documenting of the state of transitoriness, consequences of political, social

and economic circumstances are elements that prevail the works of Turkish artist Banu

Cennetoğlu. A portrait of cities in video installation Are there any palm trees and Grozny (2005) are

separated and connected at the same time. Evident for them is lack of use and identity. They are

excluded out of all development, as a side product of society that is only interested in pursuing

their quotas.

Riccardo Costantini in Stefano Bullo (lastnik delavnice Vetrate Artistiche Murano in vizualni

umetnik) se skupaj sprašujeta, kako lahko steklo komunicira z osebnim umetniškim

raziskovanjem posameznega umetnika.

Preizkusila sta najbolj klasično tehniko emajliranja stekla, grisaille, ki ji sledijo neprozorne in

prozorne barvne glazure, ter spajanje barvno različnih stekel pri visokih temperaturah. Rezultat

je izjemen umetniški projekt in še izjemnejša razstava v Galeriji Magistrat v Mestni hiši na Ptuju.

Riccardo Costantini and Stefano Bullo (owner of Vetrate Artistiche Murano and visual artist)

dialogue together, wondering how glass can interact with each one’s personal artistic journey.

The most classic technique of glass painting, the grisaille, is then tested, followed by opaque and

transparent colored glazes, as well as the fusion of different colores glasses at high temperatures.

The result is an outstanding art project and an even more extraordinary exhibition at the

Magistrat Gallery in the Town Hall of Ptuj.

GALERIJA FO.VI / FO.VI GALLERY, STRNIŠČE

Nestabilnost in nematerialnost sta koncepta, ki neustrašno prežemata predstavljena dela. Če

lahko po raziskovanju nebesnih oblakov in grajenju stavb iz tankih volnenih nitk ugotovimo,

da ima duša težo, sedaj preusmerimo pozornost k majhnim drobcem trave in papirja.

Delikatni in minimalistični rastlinski elementi, ki z efemerno konsistenco rastejo iz stenskega

epidermisa.

Narava. Če ji pustimo prosto pot, bo s svojimi kompleksnimi izmenjavami in interakcijami

ponovno zavzela mesta, ki so ji nekoč pripadala.

In ponovno preučujemo to, kar je samoumevno in banalno, minimalne stvari, in očitnemu

nadenemo novo podobo. Med vizualnim procesom pa nam napake služijo kot šablona za

iznajdbe.

Instability and immateriality are the concepts that fearlessly pervade the showcased works. If

the soul has weight, as we discover from exploring the clouds of the heavens, and erecting

buildings made from fine threads of wool, then let us now focus more closely on tiny

fragments of grass and paper. Delicate, minimalist vegetation elements, which grow from the

wall epidermis with an ephemeral consistency.

Nature. If we let it run free, it will use its complex exchange of interactions to occupy once

again the spaces that used to belong to it.

And again, we find ourselves studying that which is self-evident and banal, the little things,

putting a new perspective on the obvious. During the visual process, the errors serve as a

matrix for inventions.
