15. FESTIVAL SODOBNE UMETNOSTI ART STAYS

JERNEJ FORBICI

Festival Art Stays spada med najpomembnejše predstavitve sodobne, predvsem
likovne umetnosti v Sloveniji in v tem delu Evrope. Vse od leta 2003 prinaša
produkcijo domačih in tujih umetnikov, od najbolj znanih do najperspektivnejših. Do
danes je festival gostil preko 700 umetnikov, med njimi velika imena sodobne
umetnosti, kot so Yoko Ono, Gilbert & George, Allora & Calzadilla, Ivan Navarro,
Regina Jose Galindo, Ann & Patrick Poirier in Hannah Collins.
Petnajsta edicija največjega slovenskega festivala sodobne vizualne umetnosti Art
Stays, letos poimenovana Natur-al(l), se osredotoča na umetnike, ki se angažirano
ukvarjajo z naravo, posledicami človeškega malomarnega ravnanja z njo in s črno
prihodnostjo, ki nas morebiti čaka za naslednjim vogalom.
Na trgih in v stavbah starega mestnega jedra je festival združil vrhunske umetnike v
zelo širokem spektru: od slikarstva, fotograje, kiparstva, instalacij do videa,
performansov in glasbe. Manjkal ni niti bogat kino program na atraktivnih lokacijah in
delavnice sodobnih umetnosti (Poletna akademija Art Stays). Skupaj je bilo
predstavljenih preko 150 avtorjev.
Pred vami je katalog letošnje edicije, ki zajema dogajanje in razstave festivala sodobnih
umetnosti. Podoživite neverjeten utrip najstarejšega slovenskega mesta, polnega
presenečenj, ki jih prinaša sodobna umetnost pomešana z naravo.

Se vidimo naslednje poletje.

& Calzadilla, Ivan Navarro, Regina Jose Galindo, Ann & Patrick Poirier and Hannah
Collins.
The 15th edition of the biggest Slovenian festival of contemporary visual art Art
Stays, titled Natur-al(l), focuses on artists dealing with nature, the consequences of
humanity mistreating nature, and a dire future that might be awaiting us just around
the corner.
The festival occupied the squares and buildings of the old city center with a selection of
top-notch art works created in a variety of media: painting, sculpting, photography,
installation, video, performance, and music. It was accompanied by lm screenings, as
well as contemporary art workshops (Art Stays Summer Academy). This year’s
edition featured over 150 artists.

The catalogue of 2017 edition is in front of you, it covers the events and exhibitions of
the festival of contemporary art. Relive the beat of the oldest Slovenian town, full of

See you next summer!

besedilo / text: Marika Vicari & Jernej Forbici

Na tradicionalni umetniški predmet, naj bo to slika, kip ali kos arhitekture, ne gledamo več kot na
osamljen subjekt, temveč ga je treba upoštevati znotraj konteksta širšega prostora. Okolje postaja enako

pomembno kot predmet, če ne še bolj, saj predmet diha v prostoru in absorbira njegovo realnost,
kakršnakoli že je, bližnja ali oddaljena, notranja ali zunanja. Noben predmet, niti naraven niti

umetniški, ne obstaja brez okolja. Pravzaprav se lahko predmet razširi do te mere, da postane lastno
okolje.

(Kristine Stiles in Peter Selz), Berkeley 1996, str. 510-511.

»Zakaj nisi naredil večje, da bi se dvigovala nad gledalcem?«
»Ker nisem delal spomenika.«

»Zakaj potem nisi naredil manjše, da bi lahko videli preko nje?«
»Ker nisem delal predmeta.«

Intervju s Tonyjem Smithom, 1964,
Samuel Wagstaff, Talking to Tony Smith, Artforum 4, 1966, str. 17-19.

Razstava v enem samem velikem razstavnem prostoru na Ptuju prvič združuje raziskovanja več
kot štiridesetih slovenskih umetnikov, ki so v preteklih desetletjih s pomočjo slikarstva ustvarjali
nove »dialoge« na temo narave.

Vse pogosteje smo priča prizorom narave, ki se razvija s preveliko hitrostjo. Kljub temu še vedno
ostajajo prostori, ki niso docela antropogeni, in človeštvo morda še mora prispeti do točke
dokončnega sožitja z naravo. Gre za jasen koncept, ki se ga da razbrati od 60-ih dalje, tudi na
slovenskih tleh, ko se umetniška produkcija iz izključno muzejskega konteksta odločno
premakne tudi na prosto.

Vsako od platen, ki sta jih kustosa Dušan Fišer in Jernej Forbici izbrala z izredno skrbnostjo,
pripelje do izkušnje, v kateri se v razmerju do krajine ekstremne dimenzije umetniškega dela
razširijo skoraj do arhitekturne velikosti. To so dela, v katera se gledalec vključi in v njih sodeluje
kot aktivni člen, čeprav je človeško telo postavljeno zunaj njihovih dimenzij, ter začne na
drugačen način dojemati razmerja med sabo in prostorom.

Odločitev, da kustosa razstavo posvetita velikemu formatu, ni toliko estetska in usmerjena k
parafraziranju naslova Big is beautiful (Veliko je lepo), kot je strateška. Njen namen je dimenzijska
provokacija, ki občinstvo izzove k razmisleku o lastni majhnosti pred veličino narave, ne samo v

41

naravnem, temveč tudi v razumskem kontekstu. Na eni strani želi usmeriti pozornost k naravi v
njenih različnih oblikah, naj bo neokrnjena, obdelana, transformirana, pripovedna, raziskovana,
prehojena, uničena, ranljiva ali manipulirana, na drugi pa k človeku, njegovemu gibanju in
spremembah, ki jih povzroča v okolju s svojim delovanjem v času in prostoru.
Umetnost na splošno, še zlasti slikarstvo in fotografija, spodbujajo razvoj znanja in vabijo k
razmisleku o možnostih vzpostavitve odnosov, ki omogočajo povezanost z zemljo. Kot da nas
želijo opomniti, da se presenetljive moči narave ne da zmanjšati, hkrati pa nam skozi
ustvarjalnost in dojemanje lastnih ukrepov pomagajo razumeti, da smo del celote.

The traditional art object, be it a painting, a sculpture, a piece of architecture, is no longer seen as an
isolated entity but must be considered within the context of this expanding environment. The

environment becomes equally as important as the object, if not more so, because the object breathes into
the surrounding and also inhales the realities of the environment no matter in what space, close or wide
apart, open air or indoor. No object, of nature or of art, exists without environment. As a matter of fact,

the object itself can expand to a degree where it becomes its own environment.

(Kristine Stiles and Peter Selz), Berkeley 1996, pp. 510-511.

"Why didn't you make it larger so that it would loom over the observer?"
"I was not making a monument."

"Then why didn't you make it smaller so that the observer could see over the top?"
"I was not making an object."

Interview with Tony Smith, 1964,
Samuel Wagstaff, Talking to Tony Smith, Artforum 4, 1966, pp. 17-19.

The exhibition brings together for the first time in one single large exhibition space in Ptuj
explorations by well more than forty Slovenian artists, who in the recent decades have created
new "dialogues" revolving around the theme of nature through the means of painting.

More and more frequently, we are witnesses to a nature transforming itself at an increasingly fast
pace; nonetheless, there are fortunately still some spaces that have not been entirely affected by
anthropogenesis, and humanity has yet to come to a final synthesis with nature. This concept can
be clearly detected from the Sixties onwards when, in Slovenia and abroad, artistic production
has broken away from the exclusive context of museums and has decidedly opened itself to the
outdoor spaces.

The showcased canvases were selected one by one by curators Dušan Fišer and Jernej Forbici. In
comparison to traditional landscapes, the extreme dimensions of these artworks are magnified,
reaching an almost architectural scale. Even though the human body is always placed outside of
their dimensions, these are works that absorb and incorporate the spectator as an active
participant, compelling him to redefine proportions between himself and the environment.

The curatorial decision to devote the exhibition to the large format is not so much an aesthetic
choice, paraphrasing the title "Big is beautiful", but rather a strategy, aiming to evoke a reaction in
the audience with dimensional provocations, and make us contemplate on our smallness in the
face of nature's greatness, not only in terms of disposition but also of intelligence. The intent is to
draw attention to nature and all its forms on the one hand, be it either uncontaminated,
transformed, cultivated, narrated, investigated, traced, devastated, defended or manipulated,

43

and on the other to man, to his actions and changes inflicted by him on landscapes while crossing
them in time and space.
Art in general, particularly painting and photography, encourage the development of knowledge
and provide a reflection on the possibility of conceiving attitudes that enable our connection with
earth. As if wishing to remind us not to be amazed by the irreducibility of nature, and to make us
understand through the creativity and our own measures that we are all part of the same whole.
