Exhibition
Intruders uninvited to chaos is a two-part exhibition that stages the tension within the architectural, typological and socio-political confrontation between the vast former Salt warehouse on the coast of Portoroz and the Venetian Gothic palace on the main square in Koper.
What if telepathy is not science fiction, but a twinkle under the tongue – only perceived by creatures that are sensitive enough, such as octopuses and fungi? What if the Slovenian coast between Piran and Koper is already talking - through microbial layers, salt rituals and roaring logistics? The artists of the exhibition intruders uninvited into chaos draw from this tension: the longevity of petola and the speed of the port, extraterrestrial forms and ambient signals. This is not about understanding, but tuning – about listening to sculptural prosthetics intended for an unknown species, floating texts as volatile frequencies, and sound as a speculative atmosphere. The exhibition does not decode the wacky, but remains next to it. Somewhere between the Venetian palace and the Salt warehouse, the landscape begins to mutate. Remember us-hazy, reluctant, but loving. Not to master, but to maintain. Not revealed, but connected. The area does not promise clarity. It offers mess as a form of grooming. Fear is unnecessary, curiosity counts.
Andrej Shkufca (1987), with important exhibitions in the last decade, proved himself as a key figure of the Slovenian younger generation of artists. His speculative installations are not so much an object as a landscape, where he radiates a memory of the world that humans once inhabited.
Free admission.
Razstava
Vsiljivci, nepovabljeni v kaos je razstava v dveh delih , ki uprizarja napetost znotraj arhitekturnega, tipološkega in družbeno-političnega soočenja med prostranim nekdanjim skladiščem soli na obali Portoroža in beneško gotsko palačo na glavnem trgu v Kopru.
Kaj če telepatija ni znanstvena fantastika, temveč svetlikanje pod jezikom – ki ga zaznajo le bitja, ki so dovolj občutljiva, denimo hobotnice in glive? Kaj če slovenska obala med Piranom in Koprom že govori – skozi mikrobne plasti, solne rituale in hrumečo logistiko? Umetniki razstave Vsiljivci, nepovabljeni v kaos črpajo iz te napetosti: dolgotrajnost petole in hitrost pristanišča, zunajzemeljske oblike in ambientalni signali. Ne gre za razumevanje, temveč uglaševanje – za to, da prisluhnemo skulpturni prostetiki, namenjeni neznani vrsti, lebdečim besedilom kot nestanovitnim frekvencam in zvoku kot spekulativnemu ozračju. Razstava ne dekodira čudaškega, temveč ostaja ob njem. Nekje med beneško palačo in skladiščem soli pokrajina začne mutirati. Pomni nas – megleno, nejevoljno, a ljubeče. Ne da bi obvladala, temveč da bi vzdrževala. Ne razkrila, temveč povezala. Območje ne obljublja jasnosti. Ponuja zmešnjavo kot obliko negovanja. Strah je odveč, šteje vedoželjnost.
Andrej Škufca (1987) se je s pomembnimi razstavami v zadnjem desetletju izkazal kot ključna figura slovenske mlajše generacije umetnikov. Njegove spekulativne instalacije niso toliko objekt kot pokrajina, kjer izseva spomin na svet, ki so ga ljudje nekdaj naseljevali.
