PhD HPD: On soothing ADHD
HPD is reaching forty. Midlife crisis is on the horizon.
He fears going berserk, while standing on the thin and cutting edge between morality and infamy.
He claims to be a multitude and so fails in his search for authenticity.
He is a pussy on a hot tin roof realizing that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.
He hates the roof and hates the road…
He feels like a rabbit blinded by the lights of wishful thinking.

Samostojna razstava Mesta prevare III, Likovni salon Celje

17/ 1/ 2020 ob 19.00, opening
Open from 17/1/2020 to 8/3/2020
Likovni salon, Celje

Mesta prevare III, videi, teksti in fotografije

Concept and realisation of the exhibition: Ana Čigon
Assistance with installations concept: Andreja Kopač
Vocal-instrumental ensemble of the III. Primary School Celje, Choirmaster: Špela Lipuš, Assistance with concept for the poem and organisation of the choir: Andreja Džakušič, Score editing: Vasja Progar
List of the collaborators of the film 'Phoney Sightsi', which is also part of the exhibition can be found here
Curator and text: Maja Hodošček
Co-financing of the film: Ministrstvo za kulturo

At Likovni salon, Ana Čigon is presenting the Phony Towns III installation, which touches upon the issue of space. As the title already suggests, the work invites reflection on the geopolitical dimensions of power. It is an outline of a time, where the current political changes are significantly transforming the image of the city, social dynamics and quality of life within society. In the installation, the viewer travels through local, European and global spaces as well as space itself. He observes the footage of urban landscapes, in which different voices speak to the towns and cities, countries and wider territories. These tell of mutual relations, marked by demarcations and divisions when capitalism had already substantially and almost irreversibly broken down the networks of solidarity and the pursuit of a better future. It is precisely the power or dependence on capital that is the common binder of the cities and territories that are shifting the care for its citizens to the care for the creation of economic value. Phony Towns III is an installation that is supplemented with each new presentation through the introduction of new contents tied to the space where the work is exhibited. For the Celje edition, the artist has addressed the environmental issues and the local legacy of industrial plants, inscribed in the controversial pollution of the air and soil within the city. In doing so, she refers to the multidisciplinary projects of Celje artist Andreja Džakušič and Portuguese artist Marie Lucie Cruz Correia, both of whom have worked intensively on this pressing topic, each in their own way.

The installation with video, new additions and a text piece leads the viewer to reflect on the existing divisions of the space, where the centres of power substantially control the peripheral areas and consolidate social subordination. At the same time, the work invites us to consider the possibilities of active action and encroachment into the social antagonisms.

Skupinska razstava predstavlja izbor desetih video del iz arhiva Postaje DIVA. Nastala so v različnih časovnih obdobjih in v različnih kontekstih. Slogovno in vsebinsko raznolika dela pa lahko povežemo na treh ravneh. Skupna jim je umeščenost v urbani prostor Ljubljane in njenih mestnih robov. Skupne so specifične rabe zvoka v dialogu z vizualnim. Predvsem pa jim je skupno preizkušanje in kršenje pravil in omejitev. Izbrana dela predstavljajo samosvojost, nagajivost, upor.

Prost vstop.
