Introducing of the exhibition on-line by Osamu Okamura
26.11.2011 - 29.01.2012 | Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova, Ljubljana, Slovenia
Moderna galerija keeps the national collection of 20th and 21st century Slovene art and the international collection Arteast 2000+. The national collection presents the basic stages in the development of the Slovene tradition of modern and contemporary art from the beginning of the 20th century onwards. The international collection Arteast 2000+ is based on dialogue between the East and the West, and presents a series of important artists from Eastern Europe who had been unknown or overlooked for a long time. The Arteast 2000+ Collection is primarily concerned with the Eastern European conceptual tradition; founded in 2000, this was generally the first-ever collection of Eastern European neo-avant-garde art. The works for exchange, which will make part of the three major exhibitions will include (among others): Marina Abramović, Jury Albert, Jury Avvakumov, Miroslav Bałka, Jerzy Bereś, Geta Brătescu, Alexander Brenner, Carlfriedrich Claus, Braco Dimitrijević, Stanisław Dróżdż, Róza El-Hassan, Miklós Erdély, Stano Filko, Vadim Fishkin, Gorgona, Tomislav Gotovac (Antonio LAUER), Dmitry Gutov, Jusuf Hadžifejzović, Tibor Hajas, Sanja Iveković, Ilya Kabakov, Julije Knifer, Milan Knížák, Alexandr Kosolapov, Katarzyna Kozyra, Ivan Kožarić, Zofia Kulik, Vladimir Kuprijanov, KwieKulik (Przemysław Kwiek & Zofia Kulik), Yuri Leiderman, Via Lewandowsky, Natalia LL, Kazimir Malevich, Mangelos, Vlado Martek, Dalibor Martinis, Karel Miler, Jan Mlčoch, Alex Mlynárčik, Andrey Monastyrski, Oliver Musovik, Paul Neagu, Anatoly Osmolovsky, Adrian Paci, Dan Perjovschi, Amalia Perjovschi, Goran Petercol, Dmitry Prigov, Guia Rigvava, Józef Robakowski, Nedko Solakov, Mladen Stilinović, subREAL, Miloš Šejn, Nebojša Šerić-Šoba, Ilja Šoškić, Petr Štembera, Raša Todosijević, Slaven Tolj, Milica Tomić, Endre Tót, Goran Trbuljak, Josip Vaništa, Konstantin Zvezdochiotov.

Work of Milos Sejn: Touched The Grass..., 30.7.1967

The Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova is opening Saturday, 26 November 2011, at 8 p.m.
Starting in the end of this November, Moderna galerija will operate at two separate locations: the Museum of Modern Art will carry on in the existing building in the city center of Ljubljana and the Museum of Contemporary Art in the renovated army barracks building in the new cultural quarter in Metelkova Street.
The new Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova will house the pioneering collection of Eastern European art Arteast 2000+, devoted to postwar avant-gardes from the 1960s to the present, and a selection of works from Moderna galerija’s national collection.
The Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova derives its specificity not only from its geopolitical and cultural position, but also from its orientation which questions hegemonic history through a multiplicity of narratives, heterogeneous approaches to historicizing, resonance between the urgencies of different localities, and reciprocal methods of learning.
In addition to the new permanent display of works from the Arteast 2000+ and national collections, the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova will open with the exhibition Museum of Affects, which is part of a long-term research project of the network L’Internationale*. This exhibition attempts to rethink formal methodologies of academic art history and proposes instead to interpret a selection of artworks from the period between 1956 and 1986 from the collections of Moderna galerija, Ljubljana, M HKA, Antwerp, MACBA, Barcelona, and Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven as intensities or affects, emphasizing their performative rather than representational character.
The first L’Internationale exhibition Museum of Parallel Narratives is on view until 2 October 2011 in MACBA Barcelona, www.macba.cat; the third one Spirits of Internationalism, in M HKA Antwerp and Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, will be staged in January 2012.
The founding partners of L’Internationale are the Moderna galerija, Ljubljana, the Július Koller Society, Bratislava, the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), Barcelona, the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, and the Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst (M HKA), Antwerp.

International exhibition project MAPY / MAPS explores art cartography from the 1960’s to today. The exhibition presents not only known, but also lesser known and never before displayed works by artists active in the 1960’s and 1970’s in the areas of conceptual art and land-art, in the 1980’s also in painting and photography, while the 1990s are reflected through neo-conceptual objects and installations. Selected works created by the youngest generation of artists often use maps and principles of mapping, networks, roads, thinking and research with the help of map as a metaphor for the very creation of their artwork. Over the past 50 years, map has become an important vehicle in art for sharing cultural meaning as a medium of utopian visions, mental archaeology, futuristic projects or even as a projection of territorial or political frustrations. The exhibition argues that in contemporary art, maps serve also as a reflection of discourse about the geopolitical space of Central Europe. In this art-historical sample, the exhibition follows “on the map” of works by more than 50 artists’ relationship to everyday reality, starting with the intersection of art and life in neo-avant-garde tendencies of the 1960s up to the forthright manifestation of life in art enabled by the new media.
The exhibition focuses on “mapping” interpretations and reflections of maps in the Slovak art scene in the juxtaposition of selected works by key artists in the Visegrad countries area: Czech Republic, Poland and Hungary. While it is composed chronologically, it also allows a layered reading through several themes present throughout the exhibition. Based on the exhibited material, we can trace ways of artistic thinking about borders, their limitations, forms of their free virtual crossing or re-defining in utopian projects, as well as through mental shifts in their transfer, scale changes or changes in positions of states and continents. They capture experience from a physical presence in the landscape and orientation in urban or natural terrain; on a metaphorical level, they portray subjective individual mythologies and the search for a lost paradise, mythical and newly discovered countries, or a shift to transcendency of cosmic space(s). Another layer of reading is provided by the catalog, designed as an atlas of artistic maps, which is accompanied by references to the rich field of critical reading of maps.
Exhibition MAPY / MAPS does not offer a simple orientation to the terrain of art. It invites the viewer to enter new worlds and through various strategies of using maps in art.

Works of Milos Sejn:

Valeriana Roots, 14th July 1960

Cartography Studies, 1969
PEDESTRIAN MAPS
Miloš Šejn documents his trips into nature (and his attemps to unite with nature and react to its genius loci - "becoming a landscape") in various ways - from photo-documented performances to collecting and categorizing various natural materials. A map is a logical element here. In his work Roots of Valerian (1960), that implies a reference to discoveries and that fascination with nature typical of a child, he ritualistically placed roots of a medicinal plant used for insomnia on the top of a real map of Jičín.
In his journal entry-like Cartographic Studies (1969), he records his exploration of a landscape terrain into his own maps by layering and overlapping on transparencies,, while, in a spirit of Borghes' map, the scale used here is 1 : 1. In 1992 in collaboration with the Dutch choreographer Frank van de Ven, Miloš Šejn created project Bohemiae Rosa. In focuses on strengthening the relationship between body and landscape. Its title derives from the map created by carto-grapher Christoph Vetter for the historical opus by Bohuslav Balbín (1668). It bears the curious shape of a blooming rose growing from Vienna, which symbolizes the blossoming of a land.

14.05.2011 - 02.10.2011 | MUSEU D'ART CONTEMPORANI DE BARCELONA
L’Internationale is a long-term cooperative initiative launched by five European museums and artist’s archives whose combined holdings total more than 40,000 works:
Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA)
Moderna Galerija of Ljubljana (Slovenia)
Július Koller Society (SJK) of Bratislava (Slovakia)
Van Abbemuseum (VAM) de Eindhoven (Netherlands)
Museum van Hedendaagse Kunst (M HKA), Antwerp (Belgium)
This transnational platform was set up in order to share the collections of its five member institutions in order to collectively challenge the dominant narratives in art history and the common canons that have been established for western art and to question the phenomena of inclusion and exclusion that take place within the unified territory of Europe. To this end, the partners will each present different exhibitions devoted to the development and reception of postwar art with the aim of generating awareness about the real construction of time through the works, about concepts of the place, identity and the political and economic context. The International also seeks to encourage the formulation of a new vocabulary and a new chronology to rewrite the history of contemporary art from contexts outside those established by common canons.
The project has its own website http://internacionala.mg-lj.si/
La exhibition presented by MACBA is the first organised by L’Internationale since the initiative was first launched in June 2009. It features around one hundred works by key artists from the collection of the Moderna Galerija in Ljubljana (Marina Abramović, Gorgona, Ion Grigorescu, Sanja Iveković and IRWIN, amongst many others), which has acquired more than 20,000 works since it was established in the 1990s. This is one of the most important collections of artworks produced in Eastern European countries since the 1960s. Geopolitically located on the border between the “two “Europes”, the Moderna Galerija Collection seeks to transcend the traditional isolation of countries from each other and to establish a dialogue between art from the east and the west. Later, in autumn 2011, the MACBA Collection will be presented at the Moderna Galerija of Ljubljana as part of a more ambitious exhibition project. Parallel to this, L’Internationale is organising a series of conferences and seminars in cooperation with the MACBA Independent Studies Programme (PEI). As part of this initiative, a conference took place in Vienna in May 2010, and this was followed by seminars in Bratislava and Barcelona, in October and December respectively. Finally, Warsaw will host another seminar in this series in February 2011.

Group exhibition of The SOFT-HEADED group formed twenty years ago in Pilsen which brought together Czech (Miloš Šejn, Milan Maur, Václav Malina, Jan Rauner, Ivona Raimanová), Moravian (Marian Palla, Dalibor Chatrný, Petr Kvíčala, Milan Magni and Jiří Valoch), Selisian (Jiří Šigut, Martin Klimeš, Karel Adamus) and Slovak (Otis Laubert, Dezider Tóth) artists and art theorists. Their pre-Velvet Revolution activities included cooperative events (e.g. Autodafé - burning). The first SOFT-HEADED exhibition was planned for 2009, when the group's members intended to step out of anonymity. Comprehensive documentation of the group's events has been maintained (photographs, video, text materials, etc.). These will be included in the exhibition in addition to the artist's work, and is represented in the accompanying catalog as well. The exhibition is an important contribution to the history of Czechoslovak art of the second half of the 20th century.

Work from Milos Sejn: Zygnemates Algea, 2003, HDV
Transgression is a term in geology to describe the spread of the sea over land areas, resulting in flooding; in cultural studies, it means the disruption of taboos, the crossing of borders.
Entitled ‘Transgression’, this exhibition follows the development of Czech video and new media art after the fall of communism and the Velvet Revolution in 1989. For more than twenty years, working under the shadow of conspiracy and concealed political transformations, this generation of Prague artists experiences the tacky commercialism and silent upheavals of everyday life. The term transgression epitomized the modern Czech voices that are compelling in searching for love, identity and freedom. Taking the advantage of the arrival of new technologies and media, these artists not only are breaking away from the historical, social and political limitations but also are setting new landscape of time and space, new horizons of sense and sensibility and new expressions of human existence.
‘Transgression’ is a collection of works by over 30 artists of all ages who are somehow connected to, living or working in Prague, a fast turning multicultural city in Central Europe. The exhibition is a rare opportunity for Hong Kong audience to have a closer look at Czech Republic’s art and culture, as well as to highlight the importance of adding new value to the European aging culture. As the Austrian-born art historian Ernst Gombrich says: “the Europeans still come to terms with the past that they live in a continual and continuing the events and relations fifty years old. Still remarkable and admirable, the European culture instead of at its peak of flowering, is declining and disappearing, like the sinking Venice, the crashes of the Leaning Tower of Pizza. Christianity, the major cultural resource and the most important legacy lost its essence, like a senile old man forgets its origin.”
Artists from Czech often describe their art scene as a ‘small pond’, which is an intimate circle where everyone knows each other. The Pond is often man-made; still it has extremely diversified ecosystems. It will be important to maintain the pool openly so that it can provide a healthy environment to its resident. In the exhibition, audience can observe the lively ‘small pond’ closely and witness the transgression forces acting in all inward and outward directions. Comparative studies between Prague and Hong Kong cultures are also automatically set in motion.

Substantial Form of the Blended Body
THE SYNERGIES EXHIBITION OF THE BASEL, ROTTERDAM AND STOCKHOLM CONVENTIONS
The exhibition’s title, Substantialis Corporis Mixti, is taken from the medieval chemistry essay,
De Mixtione Elementorum (“On the mixture of the elements”, circa 1272), by Thomas Aquinas.
The exhibition explores how the aggregation of imperceptible bodies (aggregatione corporum insensibilium), including toxic chemicals or produced as byproducts of consumer waste, impact the nature of our bodies and the natural world.
The United Nations Safe Planet Campaign promotes human bio-monitoring as a method of assessing the toxic chemical burden increasingly borne by the life of our planet.

Utopia of the garden. Urban and rural gardens and today’s green utopias
Could one say that art degenerates as it approaches gardening? (Robert Smithson – A Sedimentation of the Mind: Earth Projects, 1968)
The aim of the conference is to look at the changing approaches to the soil, and the subjects of growth and growing in society, culture and art, in urban and rural contexts. At the same time, we try to challenge the simplyfiying concepts of nature and natural, as presented in the arts. It is often in the arts though, where the various influential phantasies concerning nature emerge.
We want to confront artistic approaches with views by ecologists, biologists, eco-activists, economists, non profit organizations and foundations, about subjects like: (city) gardening and agriculture, transformation of city flora and fauna, relationship between urban and rural, philosophies of the garden, sustainability of cities and villages, long-term growth in economics (participatory economics, economical de-growth, natural capitalism etc.).
Artists often comment on the dissolving of the natural, cultural, and technological. Artistic approaches are often used as a political tool in the praxis of transforming the environment. Can aesthetics play a key role in the process. How and for what purposes are the newly emerging green spaces used by artists? To what extend are visions of the cities-as-gardens and its inhabitants in the roles of gardeners, just another utopian phantasy? How do the actual city forms of gardening look like: green spaces with open access (open greens), guerilla gardening, rooftop or vertical gardens, (so called) beautifying alliances. How are the permacultural processes reflected in the city planning? What are the most inspiring models of ecological towns and villages?
Friday November 11
In the wind. Art of the ecological time

Bohemian Paradise - Hruba Skala - Czech Republic
International Interdisciplinary Open-Air Workshop for dancers and artists exploring the relation among body, art and landscape led by Frank van de Ven, Milos Sejn and guest teacher
Václav Cílek
Supported by Bohemiae Rosa Foundation - Ministery of Culture in Czech Republic - European geopark UNESCO Bohemian Paradise - Bohemian Paradise National Reserve
Since 1995 Milos Sejn and Frank van de Ven have co-operated in their bi-annual interdisciplinary open air Body-Site-Exploration projects in various National Reserves in the Czech Republic (Kokorin Valley, Plasy Monastery, Bohemian Karst, Bechyne Monastery with the Luznice River, Bohemian Paradise, Sumava Mountains and Krkonose Mountains) known as the Bohemiae Rosa Project.
This 8th edition of the Bohemiae Rosa Project, which will take place in an area known from the end of 19th century as „Bohemian Paradise“, will evolve in the famous historical landscape with figurative rocks, caves, valleys, brooks, forests, groves and meadows. Walking and working in the Bohemian Paradise, we investigate the historical relation of Body and Landscape and its signification and relation to contemporary Performing Arts.
The program will include:
• MB -(mind/body, muscles/bones) dance training
• practice of and reflection on physical and mental training
• walking and wandering, silent walk, pilgrimage and nocturnal journeys
• various modes of experiencing body, movement and landscape
• investigating divergent senses of space and time
• peripatetic records, drawing, writing, immediate contact with surroundings
• mental topography of a location, myth, archaic mind and genius loci
• geology, archaeology and history of the Bohemian Paradise as a model of self: layers, vertical connections and labyrinths
An integral part of the workshop will be the individual artistic projects that participants are encouraged to formulate and work on for about 1 to 2 hours a day. (in the fields architecture, landscape art, dance, performance, photography, sculpture, theatre, visual arts, biology and natural history). The workshop leaders are available to guide and support these processes.
The body is a landscape in itself moving within the larger frame of the given surrounding environment. The vertical and horizontal layering of the (historical) landscape invites us to reflect upon our own layers and connections of self and imagination.
Participants profile: for artists and advanced students working in the fields of performance, dance, landscape art, sculpture, photography, architecture, theatre, visual arts, biology and natural history

Amandine Meneau & Marta Pujol Quetglas - July 08
20.08.2011 - 22.08.2011 | Kaple Sv. Ducha / Liběchov
Oživení místa setkáním s názvem Kaple 2011 proběhne ve dvou fázích.
Nejprve dojde k vymalování a vyklizení prostor lodě kostela, kdy se za pomoci místních dobrovolníků kostel dostane do pozice ,,prázdné nerozbité nádoby“.
V druhé fázi dojde k naplnění sakrálního prostoru - nádoby tvůrčím duchem, za pomoci třídenního intenzivního setkání mladých architektů, výtvarných umělců a zvláště hudebníků.
Aktivace prostoru proběhne formou třídenní nepřetržité audio-vizuální performance, která bude vycházet z historických reálií na skalním ostrohu, stejně jako z topografie okolní krajiny.
