We are pleased to announce the first opening in P74 Gallery of 2014: the exhibition of three talented, outstanding artists of the youngest generation: Tinkara Babi\u0107, Alja Piry and Jaka Vatovec.<\/p>\n

If, by definition, the new wave <\/em>has always represented new phenomena of countercultural youth tendencies \u2013 in France in the 1950s, in the US and England in the 1970s and 80s, etc., as well as the young, up-and-coming featuring experimentation, anti-corporation, processual, style and genre diversity \u2013 along with a dose of kitsch, pop art and street art.<\/p>\n

\nTinkara Babi\u0107, Untitled<\/em>, 2013<\/span><\/p>\n

Tinkara Babi\u0107<\/strong> creates knitted graffiti (known since 2009 in the US as \u201cyarn bombing\u201d), a form of anarchic handicraft combining the skills of knitting and crocheting with street art. Basically, it\u2019s the art of decorating urban objects in colourful knits. These public interventions can last several years, yet they are conceived \u2013 similar to graffiti \u2013 as something ephemeral.
\nTinkara Babi\u0107 creates entire installations in which she encases objects, newspaper clippings and advertisements with motifs of consumption: from packaging for EKO-BIO-LIGHT cornflakes to a motif of the Pope or the commercialization of sexuality, etc. The gallery space changes into a picturesque, subjective cocoon. The installation is a subjective outpouring of materiality, beautiful and anarchic, humorous, ironic and (sometimes) absurd.<\/p>\n

The conceptual works of Alja Piry<\/strong> are formed as installations, pictures, drawing\/text, sound, video works or artist\u2019s books. In her works she often thematises scenes from nature that are intended as decorative or amateurish, since the concept and effect are more important than the materiality of the work itself. Alja Piry understands the artwork as a generator of communication and collaboration. In the playful yet subtle works, the minimal interference into the space, the integration of the viewer into the process of creating the work and the frequent use of texts, we recognise important influences from conceptual art.<\/p>\n

\nJaka Vatovec, Altar detail<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Jaka Vatovec <\/strong>is an offspring of the Postojna clan. He abides by the motifs of the horror film genre (so-called trivial filmography) with all the necessary iconography of skulls, christenings, zombies, blood, candles, spiders. Vatovec is interested in the theme of social perception of mental health and normality of the individual, social alienation and stereotypes. \u201cMy main visual inspiration comes from old B-horror movies, especially \u2018eurotrash\u2019 of the 1960s and 1970s,\u201d says Vatovec, who is active also in the field of fanzines. In cooperation with Leon Zuodar (of Beli sladoled) he established the fanzine PROFILE OF THE SKULL. In short, prepare yourself for a nightmare \u2013 a triple one at that.<\/p>\n
