SCHEDULE:
Photon – Centre for Contemporary Photography:
open from 6 pm to 10 pm
7 pm: Guided tour for the MUTATIONS II: Moving Stills exhibition (Dejan Sluga)
9 pm: Guided tour for the MUTATIONS II: Moving Stills exhibition (Metka Zupanič)
Mutations II aims to question the principles of video by exploring the productive relationships that have developed between fixed and moving images and providing a sense of where contemporary art stands in Europe today. By abandoning its status as a medium for freezing recorded reality and by borrowing one of its essential features, namely the temporal dimension, from video art, photography is becoming emancipated via all kinds of artistic manipulations and technical hybridizations, both analogue and digital.
National Museum of Slovenia:
open from 10 am to midnight
7 pm: Guided tour for the AFTERMATH. CHANGING CULTURAL LANDSCAPE exhibition (Miha Colner)
9 pm: Guided tour for the AFTERMATH. CHANGING CULTURAL LANDSCAPE exhibition (Dejan Sluga)
The Aftermath / Changing Cultural Landscape international project is the first regional research and curatorial platform established in order to identify and articulate principal tendencies within the field of contemporary photography in relation to its immediate environment. The Photonic Moments 2012 festival will put on display an extensive group exhibition, which will gather in a single place the principal protagonists from the field of engaged contemporary photography active in the territory of the former Yugoslavia following its disintegration (1991–2011).
