Failure as a starting point for possible future success is a key part of the artistic process today. What would be understood elsewhere as a defect or anomaly can become in art an expressive value and a space of freedom. With new works created this year in the Graphic Studio MGLC, Luka Ursic explores the potential of her artistic practice as a reparative mechanism.
With Screen Printing interventions on the crashed and discarded Polaroid photographs of others, the artist returns to the source of failure and symbolically takes the blame and responsibility for the failed actions. In this way, he faces his own and others ' discomfort, while trying to get closer to the liberating possibility of redemptive correction and improvement.

Neuspeh kot izhodišče za morebitni prihodnji uspeh je danes ključni del umetniškega procesa. Kar bi drugje razumeli kot napako ali anomalijo, lahko v umetnosti postane izrazna vrednost in prostor svobode. Z novimi deli, nastalimi letos v Grafičnem ateljeju MGLC, Luka Uršič raziskuje potencial svoje umetniške prakse kot reparativnega mehanizma.
S sitotiskarskimi intervencijami na ponesrečene in zavržene polaroidne fotografije drugih se umetnik vrača k izvoru neuspeha in simbolično prevzema krivdo in odgovornost za spodletela dejanja. Na ta način se sooča z lastnim in tujim nelagodjem, obenem pa se poskuša približati osvobajajoči možnosti za odrešilni popravek in izboljšanje.
