It\u2019s a peculiar feeling \u2013 as if we were to find ourselves in the middle of a narration which constantly evades us and leaves us tentative and confused. The objects, structures, drawings are real and authentic, but we are unable to relate to them. Their meaning is blocked, ambiguous. Everything is at hand, but we are unable to (entirely) understand anything. In this solo exhibition SBD presents the processes of collecting, organising, and representation. In the installation we follow a mix of paradoxes and the rational<\/em>, typical for their creation. The common thread remains the creation of a game without rules<\/em>, full of unexpected twists and absurd turns. Absence<\/em> is the second important constant in their work. Whether it is absence as fundamental status; or absence as an empty place, as erasure, negation or rejection. At the same time emptiness plays an important role in the spatial layout, since it is an element of connection, thus creating a rhythmic structure among the works, the groups of works, the space, and the spectator.<\/p>\n

For the first time, SBD will exhibit new artist books, which they call \u201cPerformance books\u201d. These one-of-a-kind works are created by an act of destruction, that is, by tearing out the pages. Thus we see only the last few, remaining sheets or just a cover with unrelated prints, sketches, notes, photographs. The series \u201cNatura morta\u201d is comprised of a collection (of obscure, fluid) everyday objects such as a box for diapositives, a hunting target, an envelope, a glass jar with ashes, a stand for a hunting trophy, etc. as well as their display in the space. SBD emphasise that the installation \u201cNatura morta\u201d is not a finished whole. The objects can be laid out in a different order and thus reveal other semantic connections and accents. With the arbitrariness of the arrangement SBD expose the crisis of (fixed) meaning, or rather, the instability<\/em> of its (definitive) sense.<\/p>\n

SBD\u2019s solo exhibition titled Small but Dangers<\/em> is their second solo presentation in P74 Center and Gallery. In addition to the SBD\u2019s interesting procedures and features, which the two artists have successfully brought to the national art scene, the exhibition marks an important step forward in the group\u2019s creation. Along with visual art works the exhibition includes a photographic project which arose in collaboration with photographer Matija Brumen.<\/p>\n

SBD<\/strong> are Mateja Rojc and Simon Hudolin-Sal\u010di. Both artists are graduates from Arthouse \u2013 College for Visual Arts in Ljubljana (2005 and 2004 respectively). Simon Hudolin-Sal\u010di also completed further studies in the Visual Art Education programme at the Faculty of Education, University of Ljubljana, in 2008.<\/p>\n

Nominated for the OHO Group Award in 2008, SBD have presented their in Slovenia and abroad, including solo exhibitions and performances in Solkan, Deskle and Ljubljana and group exhibitions in New York, Vienna, Venice, Ljubljana, Celje, Lendava, \u0160kofja Loka, Nova Gorica, Cerkno \u2013 among them a very successful presentation at U3 \u2013 the 6th<\/sup> Triennial of Contemporary Art in Slovenia in the Museum of Modern Art, Ljubljana (2010). SBD have also created many audio-visual performances and scenography for animations and music videos.<\/p>\n

The programme of the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Institute is supported by the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sport of the Republic of Slovenia and by the Municipality of Ljubljana, Department for Culture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
