The exhibition is the third part of an extensive exhibition project
aimed at presenting Slovene art since 1975. This final exhibition examines
the developments in art during the last decade and the tendencies in
artistic production today. Fundamentally, this art could be said to
be characterized by the rejection of the idea of an autonomous and immutable
art object and its transformation into a spatial installation, a multi-media
work, a process, or a situation. This has brought in its wake new, active
relationships between a work and its audience. The art of the last decade
has expanded into the social space, making use of, and critically reflecting
on, the new media and available technologies. Artists often reflect
on their role in the society, and develop critical, political, and resistance
strategies through their work. Other fields of creativity, such as architecture,
design, music, the performing arts, etc., have been instrumental in
this development, and their contacts with contemporary art practices
have impacted the ways in which they have evolved. (press text)
