Encounter

2019

 

 
 

During the 9th Triennial of Contemporary Art U3: Dead and Alive, curated by Vit Havranek, held at the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova, Ljubljana, Slovenia (October 10, 2019 - January 12, 2020), Maja Smrekar invited Oleg Kulik for a collaboration, while she wanted to capture a situation when two artistic animals meet. The two artists along with two dogs transformed that which is usually understood as labour into play, and thereby erased the distinction between animal and human, while the unsayable and the pre-signified arose.
