Druge mitologije/Other Mythologies

Curator: Simona Vidmar
    Complex, communicative and humorous works of Jasmina Cibic continuously point toward the research of the currently pertinent theme of industrialisation of (art) tourism and with it the stereotyping of experience (of specific geopolitical territories). Cibic's latest spatial intervention, depicts a fictional airport signalling system, where instead of its normal functioning and enumeration of airplane arrival and departure destinations, we follow the encyclopaedic entries of fictional cities, lands, states etc. from the Dictionary of Imaginary Places (collected from the history of literature by Alberto Miguel and Gianni Guadalupi).
    Within the spatial construction inside the gallery, there are infinitely multiplied drawings of fictional places, created in collaboration of the artist and a police sketcher, where the created space becomes a poetic reconstruction of a transitory space/waiting room/airport terminal, where myths are expropriated and experience impossible – a space of airplane magazines, tourist brochures and advertisements where there is only one thing left to the passenger: wait for the promised destination.

Ideologies of Display
solo exhibition
Galerija Ganes Pratt, Ljubljana
P.V. 7-9 pm Tuesday 2 December 2008
Exhibition runs until 3 January 2009

    Cibic's new body of work explores sets of beliefs behind the architecture of displays which culminated in a particularly peculiar ideology in 1930's zoo design when the habitats begun to be designed with the viewer as the central figure.
    The series "Ideologies of Display" depicts constructed and theatrical like spaces, which follow the set rules of these methods, and equippolates the aura which is given to an artwork by the museum to the aura which is given to an attraction by the gaze of a tourist.

Museum in the Street
September - October 2008, 
Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana
Project's opening: Tuesday, 23 September
www.mg-lj.si
Curators: Zdenka Badovinac, Bojana Piškur
    The project presents the specific features of Ljubljana from a different angle by redefining the concept of art in public spaces. The first to focus on art interventions in public spaces in Slovenia was the artists' collective OHO; this still remains to be researched using contemporary methodology, and critically reflected. Museum in the Street project attempts to do this by focusing on the representations of the city, urban identity, exploring / mapping the city, interventions in the city, urban visions.
