On Friday, 16 December, 2016, at 19:00 you are kindly invited on the opening of the two selling exhibitions at the same time: OFF THE HOOK and Polona Poklukar/ Abovebeyond /Hat Polyforms.
OFF THE HOOK is a travelling exhibition project with which DobraVaga is continuing its cooperation with UGM | Maribor Art Gallery, which visited Ljubljana with the Made in Maribor exhibition of contemporary work by Maribor artists. The exhibition aims to provide the international professional and general public with a glimpse of the current contemporary production of artists working within the framework of DobraVaga. The selected authors masterfully create with various artistic media, from painting, collages, graphic art and digital print to drawing.
Polona Poklukar ponders over the hat being a small sculpture, in which possible harmonious proportions between fullness and emptiness, carried and worn, stability and gravity, etc. arise. The present initial concept is the object's body. Next to a more sensible cut and the folds and lines deriving from it, which shape the relief or the details of the whole, the artist now deals with the hat's crown and its base respectively. "The hat is no longer a cultural code; its sense is embedded in the appropriated non-verbal expression of feelings that arouse and address us." (Polona Poklukar)
YOU ARE KINDLY INVITED!
