The beginnings of TRUST ART 6-10-2015

It started with an invitation of the 3 Slovene artists Janez Janša, Janez Janša and Janez Janša to participate in the their art project TRUST in which randomly chosen members of the audience exchanged their valid personalized Bank Cards/Artworks among themselves for a week. I ended up in pair with Zdenka Badovinac, the Director of the Moderna galerija in Ljubljana, and used this fabulous ready-made occasion to create a new art project: TRUST ART 6-10-2015 made of:

  • performance about Establishing Trust through eye contact among me and Zdenka Badovinac
  •  A graphic détournement of the front page of the Slovene Newspaper Delo from the 6th of October 2015 (the date in which me and Zdenka returned to each other their Bank Card)
  • A self-inquiry writing about my Experience of the whole process (in Slovene)

Personal Observer 2.0

Personal Observer is an on-going photo documentary project between Adam Engler and Jatun Risba that started soon after their meeting in September 2015 in Barcelona.
The initial inquiry  was about  forms of embodiment of the space: How to embody and perceive everyday spaces differently? How to look to common object with surprise and imagination? How to build paths of worthiness and amazement in everything that surrounds us? You can check the photos from this period here.

The two artists are now happy to announce the continuation and evolution of the project. Personal Observer 2.0 has been lunched and this is a photo from their first Skype get-together. How does personal observing look like from distance, via online connection, through digital apps? How can we be and work together while living abroad? These are the core questions tackled in this phase of the project …
