ROK SIEBERER — KURI Video Installations April 21 - May 5 Guided visits with micro-snacks, led by the author, will be held on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 5 p.m. Rok Sieberer-Kuri's exhibition brings a retrospective of his video installations. Since the early 1980s, Sieberer has been active in several artistic fields. Apart from making videos he also writes literature, and he used to be engaged in comics and music. Last year he published his third novel, Sherry's Story, to round up his SF trilogy "Stories of the Nissan Family". Alongside the installations that have been seen previously — Too Blind to See and Silence, Please. We're Watching! — and the retrospective of his short video collages made under the name Media Terror, the artist will also make a new installation, The Observer — Observed, in which he continues with his creative research in the sphere of video installation. The installation Too Blind to See is an imaginary terror that can provoke the reverse effect in the viewer, while the artist's video collages present specific topical images of contemporary society, characteristic of the nonconformist artist. If his past project — Silence, Please. We're Watching! — is an exploration of the relationship between the visitor and the interaction of still life/video installation and scent, in his latest installation the artists investigates the relationship between the visitor and the interaction of the subject and the object, the onlooker and the looked at. The Observer — Observed installation is the space of a virtual chamber. When entering the chamber, visitors change from subjects-onlookers into objects being looked at. A catalogue will be published to accompany the exhibition. The introductory text will be written by artist Alenka Pirman. DVD and Divx with a selection of Kuri's works will be available for the quickest.
