Kolektiv Arhiv je pred štirimi meseci v Mali galeriji Banke Slovenije zaključil raziskovanje in razvoj (R&R) na temo industrije z naslovom Nine to Five. Zdaj se po uspešno opravljenem raziskovanju vrača s pilotnim projektom, ki pomeni poskus njegove prve realizacije pridobljenih dognanj – t. i. Arhivovim podrobnim prostorskim načrtom.
V poskusu razumevanja tega, kako se pojem industrije uteleša v njihovem izkustvenem polju, so ustvarjalci kolektiva v zadnjem letu obiskali več industrijskih objektov. Ob stopnjevanju obiskov so se jim vse izkušnje postopoma začele združevati in pačiti v samostojno izkustvo. To je porodilo odnos simbiotičnega sobivanja med sicer tako različnima organizmoma, kot sta kolektiv in industrija s svojimi raznolikimi platmi; medtem ko kolektiv črpa iz industrije, ona črpa iz njega.
APPN je udejanjenje tega odnosa. Raznoliki vtisi posameznih članov kolektiva se izražajo v končnem, ki izničuje individualizem posameznikov zavoljo uniformnega proizvodnega okolja in enotne predstavitve organizacije. S tem kolektiv zagotavlja, da bo splošna javnost dobila vtis o sposobnosti in učinkovitosti njegovega dela. Proizvodna linija se v uniformnem vzorcu razteza po stenah razstavnega prostora ter poudarja učinkovitost, saj je večina prostora izkoriščena in vsako mesto natančno premišljeno. Ostali uniformni elementi v prostoru so prav tako postavljeni po temeljito premišljenem protokolu, ki omogoča kar največjo optimizacijo doumevanja.
Protokol je ključen za optimalno delovanje. Protokol je preverjen. Protokol je varen. Vsi se držimo protokola, saj se z njim lahko sprostimo.
𝐊𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐤𝐭𝐢𝐯 𝐀𝐫𝐡𝐢𝐯 (𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑–) je multidisciplinarna skupina, sestavljena iz (dokaj) mladih umetnikov, oblikovalcev ter filozofa-sociologa. Poimensko jo sestavljajo Tim Topić, Jernej Strmšek, Rene Ketiš, Lan Rahne, Eva Anzeljc in Ana Rogač (pridruženi v tem vrstnem redu).
Osnovali so se organsko med produkcijskim procesom svojega prvenca, publikacije Sterilni študent (2024, mentorja izr. prof. Peter Koštrun, UL ALUO, in prof. dr. Mladen Dolar, UL FF), ki jo je leta 2024 izdala UL ALUO. Izid sta pospremila razstava in niz dogodkov v Galeriji Kamera Kina Šiška, pozneje pa je bil koncept prilagojen tudi za skupinsko študijsko razstavo Kurativna spajanja v Mestni galeriji Nova Gorica (2025, kurirala Maša Žekš). Projekt je bil dobro sprejet tako med splošno kot strokovno javnostjo ter pozitivno strokovno recenziran v reviji Fotografija. Trenutno so v procesu razvijanja dlje trajajočega projekta, v katerem vzpostavljajo odnos do sodobne industrijske krajine Slovenije in ki je bil premierno predstavljen na razstavi Nine to Five v Mali galeriji Banke Slovenije (2026).
Kolektiv Arhiv se občasno fragmentira in organizira v manjše delovne skupine glede na potrebe raznolikih projektov, ki niso neposredno povezani s polji njihovega primarnega raziskovanja, kot so npr. vizualne identitete (Bienale lutkovnih ustvarjalcev Slovenije, Ponjava s5), oblikovanje in urednikovanje publikacij (Dosje Roška), oblikovalska oprema razstav ter razna manjša fotografska naročila.

Vodja projekta: Tim Topić
Mentor projekta: izr. prof. dr. Tomo Stanič, UL ALUO
Fotografska dokumentacija in strokovni ogled za potrebe projekta sta bila izvedena v podjetjih in institucijah: Reaktorski infrastrukturni center Instituta Jožef Stefan, Kolektor Etra, Energetika Ljubljana, Termoelektrarna Šoštanj, ELES in Nuklearna elektrarna Krško.
Fotografska dokumentacija za namene projekta je bila izvedena pri športnih klubih in društvih: Hokejsko drsalno društvo Jesenice, Balinarski klub Kolektor Idrija in Odbojkarski klub Radenci.
Razstavljeni ortofoto posnetki Slovenije na razstavi so bili preneseni s spletne storitve GURS – Javni vpogled (ipi.eprostor.gov.si).
Razstava je del širšega študentsko vodenega projekta na UL ALUO.

Four months ago, Kolektiv Arhiv concluded its research and development (R&D) on the theme of industry, titled Nine to Five, at Mala galerija Banke Slovenije (the Small Gallery of the Bank of Slovenia). Now, following the successful completion of this research, the collective is back with a pilot project in its first attempt to test their findings in practice: Arhiv’s Detailed Spatial Plan (APPN).
To understand how the notion of industry manifests in their experiential field, the collective visited several industrial sites over the past twelve months. As their visits intensified, all the impressions gradually began to coalesce and morph into a unified experience. This gave rise to a relationship of symbiotic coexistence between two otherwise very different entities—the collective on the one hand and industry, with all its diverse facets, on the other; while the collective draws from industry, industry draws from the collective.
APPN embodies this relationship. The diverse impressions of individual members of the collective blend into a final product, which suppresses individualism in favour of a uniform production environment and a unified presentation of the organisation. This ensures that the general public will perceive the collective as competent and efficient. The production line extends along the walls of the exhibition space in a uniform pattern, emphasising efficiency, as most of the space is utilised and every spot is carefully considered. The other uniform elements in the space are also arranged according to a thoroughly thought-out protocol that allows for the greatest possible optimisation of perception.
The protocol is key to optimal functioning. The protocol is proven. The protocol is safe. We all adhere to the protocol because it allows us to relax.
𝐊𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐤𝐭𝐢𝐯 𝐀𝐫𝐡𝐢𝐯 (𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟑–) is a multidisciplinary collective composed of (fairly) young artists, designers, and a philosopher-sociologist. Specifically, its members include Tim Topić, Jernej Strmšek, Rene Ketiš, Lan Rahne, Eva Anzeljc, and Ana Rogač (listed in the order of joining).
The group formed organically during the production process of their debut, a publication titled ‘Sterile Student’ (‘Sterilni študent’, 2024, mentors Assoc. Prof. Peter Koštrun, University of Ljubljana Academy of Fine Arts and Design UL ALUO, and Prof. Dr Mladen Dolar, University of Ljubljana Faculty of Arts UL FF), which was published by UL ALUO in 2024. The publication was accompanied by an exhibition and a series of events at the Kino Šiška Kamera Gallery. Later, the concept was also adapted for the group study exhibition Curative Bonding at the Nova Gorica City Gallery (2025, curated by Maša Žekš). The project was well received by both the general and professional public and garnered positive reviews in the ‘Fotografija’ magazine. The collective is currently developing a long-term project exploring its relationship to Slovenia’s contemporary industrial landscape. This new undertaking made its first public appearance at the Nine to Five exhibition at the Small Gallery of the Bank of Slovenia (2026).
Kolektiv Arhiv occasionally splits into smaller working groups depending on the needs of their diverse projects that are not directly related to their primary fields of research, such as visual identities (Biennial of Puppet Artists of Slovenia, Ponjava s5), publication design and editing (‘Dosje Roška’), exhibition design, and various smaller photography commissions.

The project is based on research and photographs conducted and taken on the field trips to the following companies and institutions: the Reactor Infrastructure Centre of the Jožef Stefan Institute, Kolektor Etra, Energetika Ljubljana, the Šoštanj Thermal Power Plant, ELES, and the Krško Nuclear Power Plant.
Further photographs were produced at the following sports clubs and associations: Jesenice Ice Hockey Club, Kolektor Idrija Bowls Club, and Radenci Volleyball Club.
The exhibited orthophoto images of Slovenia were acquired from the GURS public web data viewer service (ipi.eprostor.gov.si).
The exhibition is part of a broader student-led project at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, University of Ljubljana (UL ALUO).
