Exhibitions of artistic production by young artists have flourished in the last decade and have become a well-established practice of many galleries, cultural centres and festivals. If the first exhibition was the premiere of the centre of Contemporary Arts in 2008 in Slovenia, one of the few manifestations where artists who were just completing their artistic studies and entering the art scene received a place for professional presentation, today it is only one of many who are very different in terms of curatorial approaches and scope. Its continuity and recognition are nevertheless seen as an important contribution to the following of contemporary artistic practices in our country. The group exhibition, which is prepared on the basis of a selection of artists submitted to the open call, is one of the views on the development of contemporary visual creativity and the potential it brings. At the same time, it is a symptomatic trace of the results of academic study environments and systems that are being established (or are not) within the art field. The exhibition shows us current approaches to the treatment of artistic media โ which, of course, extend beyond long โ established artistic practices-and tries to connect both those artists and artists who have already developed a recognizable artistic language and those who develop their practices at the end of their studies at academies. It gives the face to new generations of artists and creators, and at the same time decentralizes the possibility for their presentations in the Slovenian space.
This year at the triennial premiere we present as many as 21 works of art prepared by 24 artists. The branched field of contemporary creativity, which poses new challenges, is revealed through the demonstration of study and in-depth methods of creation in contemporary painting and sculpture, Intermedia practices, photography and animated film, performance and installation, and the works are combined with articulated message content. The unified thematic framework of the exhibition eludes, since the open call is not limited in content โ the curatorial approach is therefore formed by the examination and selection of works itself-but it undoubtedly indicates a tendency to differently set relationships between the medium and the message, between the content of the work and its carrier, between the work and the artist's intimacy, between the body and space.

Razstave umetniลกke produkcije mladih umetnic in umetnikov so se v zadnjem desetletju razmahnile in postale uteฤena praksa mnogih galerij, kulturnih centrov in festivalov. ฤe je bila prva razstava Premiera Centra sodobnih umetnosti leta 2008 v slovenskem prostoru ena redkih manifestacij, kjer so prostor za profesionalno predstavitev dobili umetniki in umetnice, ki so ลกele zakljuฤevali umetniลกke ลกtudije in vstopali na umetnostno prizoriลกฤe, je danes le ena od mnogih, ki so si po kuratorskih pristopih in obsegu zelo razliฤne. Njeno kontinuiteto in prepoznavnost kljub temu vidimo kot pomemben prispevek sledenju sodobnim umetniลกkim praksam pri nas. Skupinska razstava, ki jo pripravimo na podlagi izbora umetnic in umetnikov, prijavljenih na odprti poziv, je eden od pogledov na razvoj sodobne vizualne ustvarjalnosti in na potenciale, ki jih prinaลกa. Hkrati je simptomatska sled rezultatov akademskih ลกtudijskih okolij ter sistemov, ki se vzpostavljajo (ali se ne) znotraj umetnostnega polja. Razstava nam prikaลพe aktualne pristope k obravnavi umetniลกkih medijev โ ti seveda segajo tudi preko dolgo uveljavljenih likovnih praks โ in skuลกa povezati tako tiste umetnice in umetnike, ki so ลพe razvili prepoznaven umetniลกki jezik kot tiste, ki svoje prakse razvijajo ob koncu ลกtudija na akademijah. Obraz daje novim generacijam ustvarjalk in ustvarjalcev ter obenem decentralizira moลพnost za njihove predstavitve v slovenskem prostoru.
Letos na trienalu Premiera predstavljamo kar 21 umetniลกkih del, ki jih je pripravilo 24 umetnikov in umetnic. Razvejano polje sodobne ustvarjalnosti, ki postavlja nove izzive, razkrivajo skozi prikaz ลกtudijskih in poglobljenih metod ustvarjanja v sodobnem slikarstvu in kiparstvu, intermedijskih praksah, fotografiji in animiranem filmu, performansu in instalaciji ter dela spajajo z artikulirano sporoฤilno vsebino. Enoten tematski okvir razstave se izmika, saj odprtega poziva vsebinsko ne zamejujemo โ kuratorski pristop se torej oblikuje ob samem pregledu in izboru del โ nedvomno pa kaลพe na teลพnjo po drugaฤe postavljenih razmerjih med medijem in sporoฤilom, med vsebino dela in njegovim nosilcem, med delom in umetnikovo intimo, med telesom in prostorom.
