From 24. September to 15. in October 2026, the gallery Kresija mala will host an exhibition of the collective IL fashion entitled handshakes.
- Opening Thursday, 24. in September 2026, at 18. uri -
An exhibition of the Handle and a team NECESSARILY, composed of Iza Štrumbelj the Cloud, Lea Topolovec, and Yana Deliyska, is derived from a fictitious family, of which it is the artist to develop the framework of the common law. This time, they put their inner language and the ways in which it is produced in gestures and mutual responses at the forefront.
They treat the handshake as a choreography of greeting. This everyday social ritual has a recognizable course that the other person's response can change. With the greeting, the first contact is established, and the repetition gradually transforms the gesture. The handshake can be taken over and passed on, and with each new performance, its meaning can also change. Something that begins as a familiar gesture thus remains open to what happens in the encounter.
Visitors are invited to come up with their own version of the handshake as a couple and write an instruction for it. The bodily action is thereby translated into words, and the notation leaves the gesture to a new performance. The inner language of the collective thus opens up to the audience, and its gestures begin to circulate among other people. Each repetition transforms them a little and can assign a different meaning to them.

The IL / IL collective invites you to a participatory workshop, in which we will explore how a common system of communication is established between bodies and how it is transmitted, changed and reinterpreted. The workshop will take place on Friday, 9. 10., and Wednesday, 14. 10., at 16. uri.
Od 24. septembra do 15. oktobra 2026 bo v Galeriji Kresija mala na ogled razstava kolektiva ILY z naslovom Rokovanja.
- Odprtje v četrtek, 24. septembra 2026, ob 18. uri -
Razstava Rokovanja kolektiva ILY, ki ga sestavljajo Iza Štrumbelj Oblak, Lea Topolovec in Yana Deliyska, izhaja iz fiktivne družine, ki jo umetnice razvijajo kot okvir skupne prakse. Tokrat v ospredje postavljajo svoj notranji jezik in načine, kako ta nastaja v gestah in medsebojnih odzivih.
Rokovanje obravnavajo kot koreografijo pozdrava. Ta vsakdanji družbeni ritual ima prepoznaven potek, ki ga lahko odziv druge osebe spremeni. S pozdravom se vzpostavi prvi stik, ponavljanje pa gesto postopoma preoblikuje. Rokovanje je mogoče prevzeti in predati naprej, z vsako novo izvedbo pa se lahko spremeni tudi njegov pomen. Nekaj, kar se začne kot znana gesta, tako ostaja odprto temu, kar se zgodi v srečanju.
Obiskovalke_ci so povabljene_i, da v paru zasnujejo svojo različico rokovanja in zanjo napišejo navodilo. Telesno dejanje s tem prevedejo v besede, zapis pa gesto prepusti novi izvedbi. Notranji jezik kolektiva se tako odpre občinstvu, njegove geste pa začnejo krožiti med drugimi ljudmi. Vsaka ponovitev jih nekoliko preoblikuje in jim lahko pripiše drugačen pomen.

Kolektiv ILY vabi na participatorno delavnico, v kateri bomo z izvajanjem gest rokovanja raziskovali, kako se med telesi vzpostavlja skupen sistem sporazumevanja ter kako se le-ta prenaša, spreminja in reinterpretira. Delavnica bo potekala v petek, 9. 10., in sredo, 14. 10., ob 16. uri.
