Zalite dimenzije

Domen Ograjenšek, 9. september 2021 ― Besedilo je bilo predstavljeno na simpoziju ob 110-letnici Jakopičevega paviljona Razstavljanje na Slovenskem (5. – 6. december 2019). Prispevek se loteva zagat evklidske narave razstavnega prostora, za katero je značilna predvsem enovitost in zaokroženost prostorske izkušnje ter z njo prosotora samega.

Unable to follow the times, that of deep time, barely grasping with the ”sublime hyperobject of climate change”1, with the inevitable extinction, it cannot but simmer in pathos. Its exclusion makes it superficial and meaningless, even though it desperately tries to hold on to the last vestiges of … Continue reading "Experiential Kitsch"

THE CHAT

Domen Ograjenšek, 21. marec 2021 ― Everyone lashes out, and everyone is hurt by the lashes, but with every strike the masochist attachment intensifies, up till the point when the Chat is in pure, colourful, Pepe-the-frog-filled ecstasy. STREAMERS. They try to focus on the game while also talk and engage with their audience. This produces a strange free-flow of consciousness, that … Continue reading "THE CHAT"

Domen Ograjenšek, 13. marec 2021 ― *Prvotno objavljeno v tretji številki revije Šum, oktobra 2014.

Zalite dimenzije — naproti navtični paradigmi razstavnega prostora?

Domen Ograjenšek, 9. marec 2020 ― Enovit, zaokrožen koncept ali tema razstavnega formata ustreza prostorskim zahtevam evklidskega prostora. Nosi reprezentacijsko funkcijo, ki je inherentno enciklopedična, se pravi pogojena z možnostjo proporcionalne ter simetrične delitve pomenskih linij umetniških del, ki jo klasična koncepcija prostora ne le omogoča, temveč dejansko tudi prvotno vpeljuje. Pomislimo le na paradigmo javnega muzeja in na razstavni model, … Continue reading "Zalite dimenzije — naproti navtični paradigmi razstavnega prostora?"

Vol. 1

Domen Ograjenšek, 15. november 2019 ― Throughout the beginning of her career, she could not escape the internalised balancing act between those that would see her and those that would look past the finger that she patiently points as a reason to scold the benign intricacies of our facialised being.
