Series of survey and thematic programs of video art in Slovenia and presentations (exhibitions, screenings, lectures) in Slovenia and worldwide
At the eighth event of the VideoGarden screenings and talks in the inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery, the invited curator Anne Tassel will present her selection All paths lead to dreams on 9 September 2021. All videos in the selection are included in the DIVA Station archive.
Selected artists: Martina Bastarda & Mateja Ocepek & Nataša Skušek, Jasna Hribernik, Matevž Jerman, Neven Korda, Nataša Prosenc Stearns, Duba Sambolec, Sašo Sedlaček.
The current selection consists of works that we acquired in the last year in the archives of the DIVA Station. The authors tackle survival aspects at different times and with different approaches. You can see where the metaphorical descent downhill takes us at the screening on Tuesday, August 24, at 9 pm in the inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery.
The selection titled Downhill. New acquisitions of DIVA Station was curated by Vesna Bukovec. Participating artists: Urška Aplinc, Nataša Berk, Vesna Bukovec, Lada Cerar, Ana Nuša Dragan, Tatiana Kocmur, Agnes Momirski, Jatun Risba, Maja Škerbot.
The International Festival of Arts, Technology and Science Kiblix 2020-2021 hosed the DIVA Station archive with a series of events in April and May. In a series of four events under the common title From the Archives of the DIVA Station, we prepared a series of online video projections on the computer and online art, perception of physicality in a virtual environment, and transmitted feelings. The purpose of online projections is to get acquainted with works from the digital archive, get to know individual authors, and create a space for joint reflection, discussion, and knowledge exchange. The conversations were moderated by Irena Borić and Vesna Bukovec.
PROGRAMME
To the second Back2Back – an event of artistic research of the DIVA archive – we invited artist, film author and curator Jake Yuzna (USA), who was at a research residency in the DIVA Station archive at SCCA-Ljubljana in 2020. In their selection of works, they followed the alternative culture in Slovenia and, especially for this program, they also created a new work in which they reflect on their attitude towards the alternative.
The program includes videos by artists: Borghesia, Neven Korda, Jurij Korenc, Rok Sieber – Kuri, Gorazd Krnc, Yuliya Molina, Alenka Pirman, Sašo Sedlaček, Ana Sluga, Valerie Wolf Gang and Jake Yuzna.
Before the screening Peter Cerovšek, head of DIVA Station was talking with Jake Yuzna.
Back2Back is a new type of event within the curated Videospotting programs, where we invite domestic and international authors at various stages of their creative path to present their own production and establish a dialogue with works of their choice from the DIVA Station archive. We will invite mostly artists who do not yet have their works in the archive. Before the screening, we will prepare short conversations with them, which will shed light on their own authorial focuses and reveal why they were addressed by selected works. The program was designed with the aim of opening the archive to artistic research, which, together with the presentation of their own practice, establishes interesting parallels to classical curatorial approaches. Mila Peršin was the first to present herself in this role.
The first to present herself in this role was Mila Peršin, a young artist working in various artistic fields.
The program includes videos by artists: Small but dangers, Mila Peršin, Ana Nuša Dragan, Miha Vipotnik, Sašo Sedlaček, Kristina Kokalj, Danilo Milovanović, Tanja Lažetić, Jasna Hribernik, Katarina Rešek (KUKLA)
