Made in China, 5. april 2019 ― M#35, 2018, digital print Foto & still from short film by Phil Cox Limited edition of 10 posters signed by the artist Copyright Colettelaboratoirelumiere Certificate of authenticity - - - - - Art multiple "Lumiere & the Lowen Palais" was created for the one-time event "Once upon a time in NYC", which took place in GalerijaGallery in Ljubljana on Tuesday, April 2nd 2019.

Made in China, 16. december 2016 ― M#5, 2012, shirt, various sizes, screen print Limited edition of 10 - - - - - By wearing the shirt designed by artist Sašo Vrabič, anyone can become a “passing canvas, a written mural, a message catching the eye of an onlooker”. In recent years, Vrabič has been using words to create portraits, and there are usually connections between the large images, written directly on walls using pencil, and the contents of the words making up the images. The words define the person being depicted, while knowing the person in the image allows us to see the wider context. By wearing a Sašo Vrabič shirt, you will become the one being depicted, enriching the inscription with your own image. The slogan, which became part of the multiple, was previously used by Vrabič for his mural image – the portrait of the perennial malcontent and cripple dr. House, which he created in 2012 on the wall of the Cankar Hall building in Ljubljana with charcoal. www.vrabic.si Photograph: Jernej Prelac
