Domen Ograjenšek, 16. marec ― Assimilation Complete: Autocatalytic Form Replication touches on key structural points in emergence of form, articulating and mapping a development no longer bound to the elements of successful particular state (those that might survive and carry forward into subsequent expression).

Domen Ograjenšek, 14. marec ― Acid-burned visions of landscapes like falling in and out of sleep in an airconditionless ride in August midday heat. A journey can take many forms.

Domen Ograjenšek, 11. marec ― Restricting Flight for Surreptitious Assembly by is a philosophical novella that draws on the life and work of Jožef Peter Alkantara Mislej, a mostly forgotten figure of Slovenian philosophic tradition.

Domen Ograjenšek, 10. marec ― Once repeated, a phrase runs the risk of momentarily losing its meaning before sense can be reinstated in its intended place.

Combining painting, text, photography, and sculptural interventions, at […]
