c000ntainers: objectness, ecology, and abstraction

Coming from two art disciplines, theatre and visuals, the curators of the series base their collaboration on the reflection of how to open possibilities for the theatre and visual arts to meet, as they believe that such a dialogue enables a necessary questioning of the frontiers of each of the media.

They have invited three artists – Živa Božičnik Rebec, Mateja Bučar, and Neja Zorzut – to create individual events/installations acting either as a repetitive performative event, as an installation on display during opening hours, or as both at the same time. The materials will be gathered cumulatively and co-presented in the containers in front of the New Post Office. Secondly, a series of discursive events will attempt a sensible reflection on the position of art in society and on the new mechanisms in art, as well as open the history of the container system, which enabled a standardisation of the goods traffic and the global economy mid-20th century.
