👉Program v ateljejih, 13.00–18.00:

ZEMLJE – VID, atelje Anje Jerčič Jakob
Odprti atelje in predstavitev razstave od 13.00 do 13.30
Razstava je del projekta Naravni materiali v likovni umetnosti in gozdna likovna pedagogika in se povezuje s Krajinskim parkom Tivoli, Rožnik in Šišenski hrib, pa tudi z avtorsko prakso umetnice, ki v svojem delu pogosto obravnava motiv narave.
Avtorji: Anja Jerčič Jakob (vodja projekta), Mateja Kavčič, Katarina Grabnar Apostoloides, Zala Simčič, Matija Franzutti, Greta Trošt, Jerca Šuštar, Brina Jenko, Vita Čepič

Silvester Plotajs Sicoe: Poglobljeno gledanje slik II.
Odprti atelje in predavanje od 13.30 do 14.00
Današnji čas hitenja, instantnega doživljanja in površnosti ni naklonjen poglobljeni izkušnji, ki jo gledalec lahko doživi ob umetniškem delu, sliki. Kako gledati sodobno slikarstvo, se mu približati, kako ga razumeti? Umetnik predstavi nekaj opornih točk, kako obiskovalec lahko začne polnokrvno doživljati sodobno slikarstvo.

Tanja Lažetić: Oranžen oblak in Krožniki/Oko
Odprti atelje in predavanje od 14.00 do 14.30
Umetnica pravi, da se pri svojem delu nikoli ne omejuje z medijem. Bivanje v Švicariji ji omogoča ustvarjanje večjih in kompleksnejših umetniških del. Obiskovalci si bodo lahko v ateljeju ogledali ustvarjalni proces njenega dela, v polurnem predavanju pa slišali, kje je našla v slikarstvu izziv in kje ovire ter kako je to vse povezano z malimi keramičnimi krožniki, na katerih je vgravirano oko.

Ana Sluga: Stične točke med slikarstvom in grafiko
Odprti atelje in predstavitev grafične mape od 14.30 do 15.00
Ana Sluga bo predstavila pred kratkim stiskano grafično mapo z naslovom Dan za dnem, ki je bila realizirana ob njeni samostojni razstavi z naslovom Pozabljeni pogovori v galeriji Hiša kulture v Pivki. Umetnica se bo dotaknila vprašanja, kje so stične točke slikarstva in sitotiska, v katerih segmentih se medija dopolnjujeta ter kje se slikarstvo in grafika razhajata.

Tanja Pak: Odprti atelje, razstava in ob 15.00 pogovor z dr. Matejo Gaber: Krhkost sledi
O vizualnih interpretacijah naše ranljivosti, krhkosti in mimobežnosti trenutka. O izboru medija kot nosilca oz. posrednika teh občutenj in stanj.

Marija Mojca Pungerčar: Sporočilo izgubljeni polovici: vabilo k sodelovanju pri delu v nastajanju
Odprti atelje in participativni dogodek, 13.00–18.00
Marija Mojca Pungerčar je vizualna umetnica, kostumografka in urednica Novičnika za samozaposlene v kulturi. Obiskovalce poziva, naj na ta dan v Švicarijo prinesejo zimske rokavice brez para. Umetnica jih bo dodala svojim. S pomočjo rokavic, ki so ostale brez para, želi vzpostaviti dialog o tem, kako doživljamo in predelujemo izgube v dobi zaslonov.

Klara Debeljak: coding reality+
Odprti atelje in instalacija, 13.00–18.00
Klara Debeljak je raziskovalka in umetnica, ki deluje na presečišču pisanja, oblikovanja in videa. Po naključju se je v sodelovalni simbiozi znašla skupaj s pesnikom, režiserjem in avdiovizualnim ustvarjalcem Janom Krmeljem. Njun coding reality+ bo artikuliral proces prihodnjenja – prakse načrtovanja in grajenja potencialnih prihodnosti.

Helena Tahir: Tracing Loops
Odprti atelje in zvočna instalacija, 13.00–18.00
Umetnica se predstavlja z najnovejšo izpeljanko svoje serije Poslednji sektor, ki izhaja iz osebne izkušnje njenega prvega in nedavnega potovanja v Irak, domovino njenega očeta. Zvočna instalacija Tracing Loops je kolaž posnetkov med njenim bivanjem v Bagdadu; ambientalna zvočna krajina izrisuje nestabilen prostor spomina, globoko zaznamovan z izkušnjo diaspore.

Zora Stančič: Neuvrščena dela
Odprti atelje in razstava, 13.00–18.00
Umetnica in grafičarka Zora Stančič bo v ateljeju predstavila svoja dela iz zadnjih dvajsetih let, ki zaradi različnih razlogov niso bila uvrščena na njeno veliko pregledno razstavo Dobro, da pogledi ne puščajo odtisov (ta je na ogled v Mestni galeriji Ljubljana in se zaključi ravno na dan odprtih vrat ateljejev v Švicariji).

Damijan Kracina: Prostor hipnotičnega ritma in tišine
Odprti atelje, 13.00–18.00
Damijan Kracina je kipar, ki s svojo večmedijsko prakso predstavlja možne in utopične scenarije življenja na Zemlji. Njegovi fantazijski svetovi vsakič znova vzpostavijo nov dialog med deli, prostorom in obiskovalci. Na dan odprtih vrat razmišlja o ateljeju: kakšen prostor je to? Umirjen, kaotičen, prostor tišine, dvoma, strmenja v prazno … Mogoče bo na ta dan celo pospravljen!

Miha Štrukelj: Atelje
Odprti atelje, 13.00–18.00
Atelje slikarja Mihe Štruklja je prostor njegove ustvarjalne intime, ki jo bo za en dan delil z obiskovalci. Spregovoril bo o tem, kako geometrijsko natančno je nastajanje njegovih velikih platen in kje napaberkuje podobe in motive, s katerimi nam odstira drugačen pogled na urbano okolje.

Silvan Omerzu: Ustavljeni čas
Odprti atelje, 13.00–18.00
Silvan Omerzu je režiser, slikar in lutkovni umetnik, ki – zlasti v predstavah – svojevrstno prepleta materiale in tehnologije, da vedno znova ustvari oblikovno-kiparski svet, v katerem se giblje neka prvinska energija. V njegovem ateljeju kipi in lutke v ustavljenem času čakajo, da z besedo, gesto, kretnjo ali premikom ponovno oživijo.

👉Javno vodstvo po ateljejih, 16.00–17.30

Zbirno mesto na recepciji Švicarije. Vodi Dušan Dovč, koordinator MGLC Švicarije.

Silvester Plotajs Sicoe: An In-Depth Look at Paintings II
Open studio and lecture from 13.30 to 14.00
Today’s fast-paced world, instantaneous experiences and superficiality are not conducive to the in-depth engagement the viewer can experience with an artwork, a painting. How can one view contemporary painting, approach it and understand it? The artist presents some points of reference on how the visitor can begin to experience contemporary painting in full blood.

Tanja Lažetić: Orange Cloud and Plates/Eye
Open studio and lecture from 14.00 to 14.30
The artist says that her practice is never confined to a medium. Living in Švicarija allows her to create larger and more complex artworks. Visitors will have the opportunity to observe her creative process in the studio and, during a half-hour lecture, hear about the challenges and obstacles she has encountered in painting, and how it all relates to the small ceramic plates with the engraved eye.

Ana Sluga: Points of Contact between Painting and Printmaking
Open studio and print portfolio presentation from 14.30 to 15.00
Ana Sluga will present her recently produced print portfolio Day after Day, created on the occasion of her solo exhibition Forgotten Conversations at the Hiša kulture v Pivki gallery.
The artist will address the question of where the points of contact between painting and screenprinting lie, in which areas the two mediums complement each other, and where painting and printmaking diverge.

Tanja Pak: Open Studio, exhibition
15.00–16.00, A talk with Dr Mateja Gaber: The Fragility of the Trace.
On the visual interpretations of our vulnerability, fragility and the transience of the moment. On the choice of medium as the bearer or mediator of these feelings and states.

Marija Mojca Pungerčar: A Message to the Lost Half: An Invitation to Participate in a Work in Progress
Open studio and participatory event, 13.00–18.00
Marija Mojca Pungerčar is a visual artist, costume designer and editor of Novičnik – a newsletter for the self-employed in culture. She invites visitors to bring a single winter glove, one that has lost its pair, to Švicarija on this day. The artist will add them to her own collection. Through these lone gloves, she seeks to open a dialogue about how we experience and process loss in the age of screens.

Klara Debeljak: coding reality+
Open studio and installation, 13.00–18.00
Klara Debeljak is a researcher and artist working at the intersection of writing, design and video. By chance, she found herself in a collaborative symbiosis with poet, filmmaker and audiovisual artist Jan Krmelj. Their coding reality+ will articulate the process of futuring – the practice of planning and building potential futures.

Helena Tahir: Tracing Loops
Open studio and sound installation, 13.00–18.00
The artist presents the latest derivative of her series The Last Sector, which is based on her personal experience of her first and most recent trip to Iraq, her father’s homeland. The sound installation Tracing Loops is a collage of recordings made during her stay in Baghdad; an ambient soundscape outlining an unstable space of memory, deeply marked by the experience of diaspora.

Zora Stančič: Unselected Works
Open studio and exhibition, 13.00–18.00
Artist and printmaker Zora Stančič will present her works from the last twenty years in the studio, which have, for various reasons, not been included in her major retrospective exhibition Fortunately, Glances Leave No Imprints (on view at the City Art Gallery Ljubljana, concluding precisely on the day of the Studio Open Day event at Švicarija).

Damijan Kracina: A Space of Hypnotic Rhythm and Silence
Open Studio, 13.00–18.00
Damijan Kracina is a sculptor whose multi-media practice presents possible and utopian scenarios of life on Earth. His fantasy worlds establish a new dialogue between the works, the space and the visitors time and again. On the Open Day, he reflects on the studio: what kind of space is it? Calm, chaotic, a place of silence, doubt, staring into space… Perhaps it will even be tidied up on the day!

Miha Štrukelj: Studio
Open studio, 13.00–18.00
The studio of painter Miha Štrukelj is the space of his creative intimacy, which he will share with visitors for a day. He will talk about the geometric precision of his large-format canvases and where he creates images and motifs that give us a different view of the urban environment.

Silvan Omerzu: Suspended Time
Open studio, 13.00–18.00
Silvan Omerzu is a director, painter and puppet artist who – particularly in his performances – uniquely weaves together materials and technologies to create, again and again, a sculptural world imbued by a certain primal energy. In his studio, sculptures and puppets wait in suspended time to come to life again with a word, a gesture or a movement.

👉Public guided tour of the studios, 16.00–17.30

The meeting point is at the reception of Švicarija. Conducted by Dušan Dovč, MGLC Švicarija Coordinator.

👉MGLC Švicarija Courtyard, 18.00–19.00
