18 May 2016 > 10 June 2016 Kindly invited to the opening of the exhibition "Nina Slejko Blom and Conny Blom present: Klara Sax – It's Happening Again", on Wednesday, 18th May, at 8pm, at the Alkatraz Gallery. The exhibition is curated by Mojca Grmek.
In their artistic practices Nina Slejko Blom and Conny Blom tackle various issues, utilizing various media. In her work Slejko Blom, who is primarily a painter, connects the personal and intimate with a critical attitude towards the art world, while Blom explores hierarchies and uses various media and contemporary technologies.
This time, the artists are presenting the work of Klara Sax, who is exhibiting in Slovenia for the very first time. In her projects – which in their final phase – usually take up the form of a multi-media spatial installation – Klara researches aesthetic capabilities of simple materials and their response to other elements and the space they occupy. She is intuitive and direct, utilizing humour and the element of surprise as her basic tool.
The work represented at the Alkatraz Gallery is created site-specifically. Essentially it’s an audio-spatial installation, alluding to a nearing end of the world, as we know it. By the installation it is quite possible to think about things that have been and will be; the things that are coming back and going away in circles, and how the realization about a different-from-the-expected author influences our experience of the artwork.
