Razstava in likovna kolonija potekata v okviru Reciklarta – umetniškega festival recikliranja in DIY kulture. 12. Reciklart bo letos potekal med 31. julijem in 28. avgustom na Trgu
brez zgodovinskega spomina (pred Galerijo Alkatraz) na Metelkovi v Ljubljani! Festival se
letos ukvarja s preobiljem in pomanjkanjem, osrednjo temo, ki bo tudi letos služila kot okvir
za različne delavnice, razstave in predavanja, ob večernih urah pa koncerte, predstave,
cirkuške točke in še mnogo drugega.

Likovna kolonija bo tokrat potekala drugič. Po lanskoletni dobro sprejeti ediciji bo letos
potekala izmenjava med slovenskimi in slovaškimi študenti likovnih umetnosti. Prvi del
izmenjave bo v sklopu festivala Reciklart v Ljubljani, drugi pa v Košicah, spomladi 2027. V
tednu pred festivalom bodo študentke_ti ustvarjale_i umetniška dela, ki bodo na ogled tekom
festivala in vse do 28. avgusta. Kot mentorji bodo pri projektu sodelovali Aleksandar Božić,
Oto Hudec in Erik Sikora. Mlade_i umetnice_ki iz Slovenije: Gaja Jenko Mihelič, Katarina Klauž, Đorđe Božić, Miona Racić, Korina Ferčec, Ajna Cuhara, Tamara Jelušič, Nicole Jenko ter iz Slovaške: Melánia Pribulová, Šimona Cichá, Jakub Gaspar, Teodor (Alex) Vladár, Zuzana Štupická, Zuzana Melíšková, Matúš Gejdoš, Natalia Gulyasova

Hrana kot gonilo življenja, nekaj, kar je v preteklosti ljudi najbolj vezalo na naravo, zemlja,
je postopoma, v zadnjem času pa eksponentno, postalo potrošna dobrina, nekaj, kar obstaja v
svetu, v katerem je hrane za nekatere v izobilju, za druge v pomanjkanju. Svet, v katerem je
hrana komoditeta, del neoliberalnega režima, kjer dobiček diktira celoten proces pridelave,
obdelave in distribucije. Svet, v katerem se izkorišča zemljo, delo ljudi, predvsem tistih na
globalnem jugu, vedno bolj tudi pod pretvezo trajnosti. Pozabljamo, da hrana velikokrat na
naše krožnike prispe z velike razdalje, da gre za povezavo med hrano kot produktom,
marketinško privlačnim izdelkom, zapakiranim v plastiko, da na policah preživi več časa, kot
bi dala narava. Predvsem pa da se mnogo ljudi trudi nasprotovati tovrstnemu sistemu in da
seveda obstajajo dobre prakse, iz katerih se lahko vse_i učimo.

Vse to in še več informira pričujočo razstavo, v kateri se študentke_je likovnih umetnosti in
ostale_i mlade_i ustvarjalke_ci preko izmenjave izkušenj različnih kulturnih okolij lotevajo
tako zapletene tematike na raznovrstne načine. Priča bomo delom, ki bodo preko raziskovanja
različnih postopkov in medijev ustvarjena skupnostno, se spoznavale_i s tem, kaj danes za
družbo hrana, njena koeksistenca preobilnosti in pomanjkanja sploh predstavljata ter videli,
na kakšne načine lahko ustvarjalke_ci združijo lastne prakse z omenjeno tematiko.
Pomemben del procesa je tudi stapljanje in pretvarjanje umetniške prakse v vsakodnevni
aktivizem in razmišljanje o načinih, kako lahko v svetu, v katerem tudi nekaj tako prvinskega
in pomembnega, kot je hrana, talec v rokah kapitala in požrešnosti ljudi, postane vir zdravja,
skrbi in dobrega počutja za vse, ne le za peščico.

The exhibition and art colony are taking place as part of Reciklart—festival of art, recycling and DIY culture. This year’s 12th edition of Reciklart festival shall take place between 31 July and 28 August. Again, we meet at the Square with No Historical Memory (in front of the Alkatraz Gallery) at Metelkova in Ljubljana! The central theme of this year’s festival is abundance and scarcity; once again, it shall serve as the framework for various workshops, exhibitions and lectures, as well as evening concerts, performances, circus acts and much more.

The art colony will take place the second time. After last year’s well-received edition, this year’s event will feature an exchange between Slovene and Slovakian fine arts students. The first part of the exchange will take place at Reciklart festival in Ljubljana, and the second in Košice in the spring of 2027. During the week leading up to the festival, the students will produce works of art that will be on display throughout the festival and until 28 August. Aleksandar Božić, Oto Hudec and Erik Sikora will collaborate as mentors on the project. Participating artists from Slovenia: Gaja Jenko Mihelič, Katarina Klauž, Đorđe Božić, Miona Racić, Korina Ferčec, Ajna Cuhara, Tamara Jelušič, Nicole Jenko and from Slovakia: Melánia Pribulová, Šimona Cichá, Jakub Gaspar, Teodor (Alex) Vladár, Zuzana Štupická, Zuzana Melíšková, Matúš Gejdoš, Natalia Gulyasova.

Food as the driving force of life, as something that connected people to nature and the earth most closely in the past, has gradually, and in the last years, exponentially, become a consumer good, something that exists in the world in which there is an abundance of food for some and scarcity for others. This is the world in which food is a commodity, a part of the neoliberal regime, where profit dictates the entire process of its production, processing and distribution. This is the world in which land and human labour are being exploited (especially the labour of those in the global south), increasingly under the guise of sustainability. We forget that food often travels great distances before it lands on our plates, that food is perceived as a product, a marketable, attractive object, packed in plastic, which survives on the shelves for much longer than nature intended. But especially, we forget that masses of people strive to oppose such a system and that, of course, there exist good practices we can all learn from.

All of this and more informs this exhibition, in which fine arts students and other young artists tackle such complex themes in diverse ways through the exchange of experiences from different cultural environments. We will be able to view works of art created collaboratively through the exploration of various procedures and media, familiarise ourselves with what food and its coexistence of abundance and scarcity actually represents for society today, and see the ways in which the artists can integrate their own practices with this topic. An important part of the process is also the fusion and transformation of artistic practices into everyday activism, as well as reflection on the ways in which, in a world where even something as fundamental and important as food is held hostage by capital and human greed, can become a source of health, care and well-being for everyone, not just a select few.
