AFTER NOISE IS NOISE
We invite you to join us for AFTER NOISE IS NOISE, a four-day gathering dedicated to noise, community, and remembrance, taking place from 19–22 May 2026 at Cirkulacija 2.
This first edition is held in memory of Boštjan Leskovšek, noise artist and co-founder of Cirkulacija 2, who passed away on 19 May 2025. Conceived as an annual meeting around this date, the event brings together artists, listeners, and friends to mark his presence, his work, and the space he helped shape.
Over four days, the program moves through performances, shared time, and moments that open up in between. The opening night begins with a memorial for Boštjan, followed by the awarding of honorary memberships to former members of the collective, and a small surprise from within the community.
Across the nights, nine artists bring their own approaches to noise, from dense and physical to minimal and unstable, alongside a jam session that keeps things open and unpredictable.

More about Boštjan:
Boštjan Leskovšek was a sound artist, poet, performer, and co-founder of Cirkulacija 2. He is considered one of the pioneers of Slovenian experimental sound art and a key figure within the interdisciplinary art platform Cirkulacija 2. He never limited his artistic practice to a single field, but instead contributed with curiosity and inventiveness to movements that left a lasting mark on both the Slovenian and broader artistic landscape. He was an artist who used music and sound to create new dimensions of experiencing the world. As early as the 1990s, he co-founded the POPOPO (POezija PO POšti) movement, which was active between 1996 and 2001. His musical output includes several albums released on the label Trivia Records. In addition to his artistic practice, he was also an active collaborator with RTV Slovenia, where he contributed to the dissemination and promotion of contemporary art and culture.
