Research work in progress:
The distance we share
Neža Knez in collaboration with Tatiana Kocmur and Tino Dožić
Wednesday, 6th November; joint dinner and reading at 6:30 p.m
Friday, 8th November; guidance through research materials at 7:00 p.m
Cirkulacija 2 opens space for artists to explore and test materials and media, which will be realized in their final form in December through a performance and exhibition in GT22 (Maribor). The artists and the artist cook, listen, observe, combine, quote, assemble and exhibit the materials of the research. They think of the work as an intermedia hybrid, where a classic object-oriented exhibition becomes a platform for performance practice. The exhibition space becomes a laboratory in which the fluidity of forms, which constantly flow from one form and medium to another, is shown and explored. The authors question whether the work can come to life in a different way, and whether such a presentation, with its own transience, emphasizes the poetics of the physical processes it talks about.
The form of the open studio will be publicly presented with two events, where new materials will be experimented with, which will later be used in this year’s third exhibition of the project – The Distance We Share (Experiment #3).
This time, the elements of the research are food (as a sensory experience) or eating (as a cultural and/or cultural event). The emphasis is on a multisensory experience, and the work is created through visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory and haptic channels of perception. The space becomes a dynamic workshop, laboratory, dance floor or experiential stage of substances, materials and people.
~ The first part of the event will take place on Wednesday, October 6 at 18:30 in the form of a joint dinner, where through cooking and eating food (its taste, textures, smell, sound and color) we will open the way for further artistic research.
~ The second part of the event will take place on Friday, October 8 at 19:00, where together with the artists we will walk through the elements of the research, which will still be in the process of construction.
