Svetlobna gverila - Svetla prihodnost / Lighting guerrilla


GALLERY 2014 ----------------------------------------- 8. Sept. - 10. Oct. 2014 OPENING Monday, 8 September 2014 at 9 pm, Vžigalica Gallery, Ljubljana The leading theme of the eight edition of the Lighting Guerrilla festival is BRIGHT FUTURE. In these uncertain times many look for things tomorrow is supposed to bring: visions of the future are marked by both utopian as well as entirely disastrous scenarios. Technological euphoria crowned by the ideology of permanent growth and progress has marked the past century; nowadays, however, it gives way to the increasingly profound awareness about the effects of this progress on our society and environment. The capitalist mantra is facing a deep structural crisis, while climatic changes cause more and more ecological problems – both of which will certainly have far-reaching and irreversible consequences for the fate of humanity. The festival certainly cannot offer ultimate answers to challenges of the future. Nevertheless, we have conceived a programme of international projects that critically or satirically question and expose different visions of the time yet to come. The exhibited projects call for a critical consideration about the future whose “brightness”, perhaps, shows merely as an ironic undertone intended to constructively cast doubt. This year we focus on projects devised by Slovene and foreign artists of different generations and with diverse expressive poetics and narratives, all of which have one common denominator, of course – the use of this or that kind of light or its elements. As in the past years, the bulk of the festival will occupy the neighbourhood of the Francoske Revolucije Square, but the lighting installations, objects and projections will also inhabit numerous public spaces, as well as other Ljubljana exhibition grounds. This year, we will also socialise with the City of Women festival.

Saturday, 13 September 2014 10 am-9 pm – workshop 9-12pm – exhibition Lighting workshop Dwellings International Centre of Graphic Arts Mentor: Sophie Guyot Assistant: David Krančan APPLICATIONS: Lili Šturm, phone: 01/ 2413 818, email: lili.sturm@mglc-lj.si The participants of the workshop by the prominent Swiss artist Sophie Guyot will produce a shelter or simple dwelling. These brittle rudimentary buildings are usually imperfect and unstable structures built from ordinary materials and cast-off objects. They are normally made by hand, and as such they could become part of a specific life agenda aimed at approaching and coexisting with the nature. The question is posed whether such a dwelling could also become an alternative to city apartments. The ambition of this workshop (free of charge) is to conceive a lighting dwelling made of branches and lycra. In the daytime these objects give impression of a wild camping, while in the night they turn into lighting sculptures living a special life. The installations created at the workshop will be exhibited in the evening in the Tivoli Park near the International Centre of Graphic Arts. Co-produced by International Centre of Graphic Arts
