Sodobna umetnost (Aljoša Abrahamsberg), 19. maj ― Ali je optimizem prihodnosti pogorel, medtem ko nas vsako sekundo obdajajo tesnobni prebliski kapitalizma? V duhu tradicije prižiganja kresov na večer pred praznikom dela umetnice_ki na razstavi obujajo simboliko minulih tradicij in priklicujejo davno mrtve duhove solidarnosti, kolektivizma in delavskih pravic. Sestavljajo združeno fronto, ki prevprašuje svoj položaj v času hustle in grindset mentalitet, razlike med podeželskim in urbanim kulturnim ozadjem, trenutne ekonomske razmere in prevlado individualizma v luči tehnološkega razvoja ter naše odvisnosti od digitalnih medijev. Pridružite se nam ob ritualni aktivaciji del, v katerih umetnice_ki opozarjajo na pasti work-hard-play-hard miselnosti in vplivnežev za samopomoč, fantazirajo o upokojitvi po kvalitetnem burnoutu, obenem pa nas spodbujajo, da si zamišljamo svetlejšo prihodnosti za vse. Has the optimism of the future burned down, while the anxious flashes of capitalism envelop our every second? In the spirit of the tradition of lighting bonfires on the night before International Workers’ Day, the artists in the exhibition are reclaiming the symbolisms of bygone traditions and reawakening the long-dead ghosts of solidarity, collectivism, and workers’ rights. They form a united front, questioning their own position and ways of coping in the age of hustle mentality, the disparities between rural and urban cultural backdrops, the current economic conditions and the prevalence of individualism in the light of technological development and our dependence on digital media. Join us for the ritualistic activation of the works in which the artists warn us about the traps of work-hard-play-hard mindset and self-help influencers and dream about retirement after a quality burnout all the while encouraging us to envision a brighter future for all.
