europea-n_i-ntercultura-l_d-ialogue

V duhu vrednot demokracije in slovenskega predsedovanja Evropi
v prvi polovici letošnjega leta Akademija za likovno umetnost in
oblikovanje predstavlja razstavo medkulturnega dialoga med
tremi evropskimi akademijami.
Na njej se predstavljajo z deli študenti in njihov profesor Markus
Huemer z Akademije za likovne umetnosti iz Prage, umetniška dela
študentov in profesorice Ruth Schnell z Univerze za uporabne
umetnosti na Dunaju, skupaj z deli podiplomskih študentov
ljubljanske Akademije za likovno umetnost in oblikovanje, nastalih
v povezavi s Fakulteto za računalništvo in informatiko, ter deli
njihovega profesorja Sreča Dragana.
V izboru so študenti, ki smo jih profesorji izbrali kot izjemno
nadarjene in pronicljive ustvarjalce, kateri s svojimi deli odpirajo
vsa relevantna vprašanja današnje umetnosti. Gre za interdisciplinarni
projektni modul mreženja različnih pedagoško-raziskovalnoumetniških
konceptov in povezav z izkušnjami, ki so jih razvile
posamezne akademije, in tudi toleranco do robnih alternativnih
praks v svojih okoljih.
V duhu postmedijskega stanja, ki ga mlade, šolajoče se generacije
živijo, so to umetniške vizije, ki imajo status integrirane umetnosti,
saj združuje izkušnjo slikarstva, kiparstva, grafike, videa in interaktivne
instalacije, s poudarkom na nenehnem eksperimentiranju, ki
danes še edino dopušča ustvarjalno svobodo.
Naslov Speculum Artium se nanaša na izjavo Petra Weibla, »da ima
razvoj praks participacije v umetnosti preslikavo v razvoju participacije
v demokraciji in da ta procesa vplivata drug na drugega,
tako kot je pojav grškega kiparstva tesno povezan z vzponom
demokracije v tistem času. Od takrat je umetnost nepogrešljiv
pogoj za delovanje demokracije.«
Upamo, da bo predstavitev v obliki razstave v realnem prostoru
Mestne galerije v Ljubljani, v času od 22. do 24. maja 2008, ter v
virtualnem prostoru interneta kot oblike direktnega prenosa
dogajanja v delavnici ustvarjanja lastnega TV kanala treh likovnih
akademij in Fakultete za računalništvo in informatiko iz Ljubljane, v
povezavi z Grand Medio iz Beljaka iz Avstrije, uspešen in odmeven
prispevek, tako za akademsko sfero kot za »med-kulturni dialog«
umetnosti Evrope.

In the spirit of democratic values and of the Slovenian presidency of
the European Union in the first half of 2008 the Academy of Fine Art
and Design from Ljubljana presents an exhibition of the
inter-cultural dialogue between three European art academies.
Professor Markus Huemer and his students from the Academy of
Fine Arts from Prague present their artworks alongside the works by
the students and by Prof Ruth Schnell from the University of
Applied Arts Vienna and the projects by postgraduate students of
the Ljubljana Academy of Fine Art and Design, produced in collaboration
with the Faculty of Computer and Information Science UL,
and the works by their professor Srečo Dragan.
The selection includes the students chosen by the professors as the
most sensitive ones, who in their works touch upon all the pertinent
issues of our time. It is a networking module on the level of the
interdisciplinary project connecting multiple pedagogic-researchartistic
concepts and links with the experiences of different
academic institutions and, in addition to that, also the tolerance
towards the alternative social practices in their home environments.
In the spirit of the postmedia condition, being the living environment
of today’s student generations, we stand before artistic visions
with the status of integrated art, which combines the know-how of
painting, sculpture, graphics, video and interactive installation with
the constant emphasis on experimentation that is the only place
left today for the artistic freedom.
The title Speculum Artium refers to Peter Weibel’s statement “that
the development of participatory practices in the arts has its
counterpart in the advancement of a participatory democracy and
that these processes have a mutual effect on each other, just as the
emergence of Greek sculpture was closely linked to the emergence
of Greek democracy at that time. Since then, art has been an
indispensable condition for a functioning democracy.”
We hope that the exhibition in real space in the City Art Museum
Ljubljana, 22 – 24 May 2008, and in the virtual space of the Internet
in the form of an immediate broadcast of the events in a workshop
of creating a new TV channel of the three academies and the Faculty
of Computer and Information Science from Ljubljana, in association
with Grand Media from Villach, Austria, a successful contribution
with wide repercussions as well for the academic sphere as for the
“inter-cultural dialogue” of the European art.
