Hiša: med otokom in arhivom

[ENG below]
V petek, 22. 12. 2023 ob 18:00 vabimo v OBRAT – prostor umetnosti in participacije na otvoritev skupinske razstave »Hiša: med otokom in arhivom«, nove produkcije rezidenčnih umetnikov programa SobaZaGosteMaribor Lene Lekše, DNLM in Lucije Klauž.
Razstavo so kurirali Miha Vipotnik, Kaja Kraner in Lucija Smodiš.
»Hiša: med otokom in arhivom« je drugi in zaključni del projekta izmenjave med libanonskimi in slovenskimi umetniki mlajše generacije. Prvi del projekta je bil realiziran v obliki rezidenčnega bivanja in razstave »Razdejanih obratov, pokončna soba« libanonskih umetnikov Charbela A. Darhama, Tonyja Keyrouza in Joy Sfeir avgusta letos. Projekt kot celota je nadaljevanje sodelovanja Pekarne Magdalenske mreže, Univerze USEK iz Libanona ter profesorja in umetnika Mihe Vipotnika, ki kontinuirano poteka od leta 2017.
Drugi in zaključni del projekta »Hiša: med otokom in arhivom« nadaljuje z razmislekom o poetiki prostora, doživljanju prostora ter razmerju med intimnim in javnim prostorom, ki je bil raziskovalno izhodišče tako za dela libanonskih kot slovenskih umetnikov. Dela libanonskih umetnikov, ki so bila v OBRAT že razstavljena med avgustom in septembrom letos, bodo na tokratni razstavi predstavljena kot miniature in arhivska dokumentacija, ki bo poskušala poustvariti njihove doživljajske vidike, hkrati pa tvoriti relacije z razmisleki o prostoru umetnikov Lene Lekše, DNLM in Lucije Klauž. Delo Lene Lekše črpa iz dokumentacije lokalne dediščine poetike podzemnega prostora oz. jame, DNLM – za katerega delo je značilen fokus na javnem prostoru – v projektu Potepuška prtljaga tokrat izhaja iz izkušanje intimnega prostora oz. doma s stališča nomadske subjektivitete, medtem ko Lucija Klauž pri projektu izhaja iz procesa iskanja in medijskega prevajanja, ki izkušnjo prostora umešča na nerazločljivo presečišče med fakti, arhiviranjem in fikcijo.
O umetnicah_kih:
LENE LEKŠE je leta 2018 diplomirala na Akademiji za likovno umetnost v Ljubljani, smer kiparstvo. Med študijem je bila eno leto na izmenjavi na Nizozemskem, na akademiji Minerva v Groningenu.

JOY SFEIR je multidisciplinarna umetnica, rojena v Libanonu, ki trenutno živi med Bejrutom in Brusljem. Njena umetniška praksa črpa iz poetičnega bistva prostora, ki izhaja iz njenih lastnih izkušenj z naravo, družbo, čutnim gibanjem telesa in neoprijemljivimi odtisi spomina.

On Friday, December 22nd 2023 at 6 pm we invite you to OBRAT - space for art and participation for the opening of the group exhibition "The House: between the Island and the Archive", a new production by the artists-in-residence of the GuestRoomMaribor programme Lene Lekše, DNLM and Lucija Klauž.
The exhibition was curated by Miha Vipotnik, Kaja Kraner and Lucija Smodiš.
"The House: between the Island and the Archive" is the second and final part of an exchange project between Lebanese and Slovenian artists of the younger generation. The first part of the project was realised in the form of a residency and the exhibition "Split Turns, Upright Room" by Lebanese artists Charbel A. Darham, Tony Keyrouz and Joy Sfeir in August this year. The project as a whole is a continuation of the collaboration between Pekarna Magdalenske mreže, USEK University in Lebanon and professor and artist Miha Vipotnik, which has been running continuously since 2017.
The second and final part of the project "The House: between the Island and the Archive" continues the reflection on the poetics of space, the experience of space and the relationship between intimate and public space, which has been the research starting point for the works of both Lebanese and Slovenian artists. The works by Lebanese artists, which have already been exhibited at OBRAT between August and September this year, will be presented in this exhibition as miniatures and archival documentation, which will attempt to recreate their experiential aspects, while forming relations with the reflections on space by artists Lene Lekše, DNLM and Lucija Klauž. Lene Lekše's work draws on the documentation of the local heritage of the poetics of underground space or the cave, DNLM - whose work is characterised by a focus on public space - in the project Stray Luggage this time starts from the experience of intimate space or home from the point of view of nomadic subjectivity, while Lucija Klauž's project is based on the process of research and media translation, which locates the experience of space at the indistinguishable intersection of fact, archiving and fiction.
About the artists:
LENE LEKŠE graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana in 2018, majoring in sculpture. During her studies she spent one year on exchange in the Netherlands, at the Minerva Academy in Groningen. She has received two awards from the Academy of Fine Arts and is a scholarship holder at the MOL. Since 2014, she has been running animation workshops for children within the SLON association. Since 2018, together with Lara Reichmann, Mihael Novak, Nina Goropečnik and Maša Knapič, she has been organising student exhibitions around Slovenia as part of the Gallery 7:069 project.
LUCIJA KLAUŽ is currently finishing her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana in the field of video and new media. She also participated in the Young Masters exchange programme in Tunisia as part of the Interfeerence Light Festival. She works as a journalist at Radio Student, where she covers art and literature. She also works with Film Factory, an organisation focusing on film literacy and education for young people and their educators.
