Lampaedromia PR 04

LAMPADEDROMIA PR 04
"The relay run in San Juan and Rincon (Puerto Rico) served, in the tradition of interweaving art and life, as a correction or critique of the official ceremony in Athens even before that ceremony took place. At the same time, it pointed, again, to the fact that even in the area of sport, the greatest amount of social activity occurs outside the mainstream corporate media spectacle…."


Tales of Two Cities

Tales of Two Cities
The two cities are a paradigm case of randomly chosen cities. The researcher of a town is an exiled forigner, just like an explorer of far-away, alien cultures is a forigner. PMCA is turning into an obsevation machine: we have before us a complex project dealing with selected urban territories, their connections and interrelations, in short the topography and the ecology of everyday life.


Home Stories

Home Stories
Series of observation made in years 1998 and 1999 on the streets and private appartments in Ljubljana, Cologne and Berlin. New parasitism as a new radical research practice with its own language and its own operational strategy. Descreet intervention in the private apartment and much more. Stories about culture, consumption and war - with the soft taste (ugggghh) of ketchup!



P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum Collection

P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Museum Collection
This collection of original artworks charts a new history of politicised live art in Slovenia, focusing on a decade of work by prominent Slovene based artists, exploring contemporary notions of diversity and difference. Challenging cultural norms, their work embraces a range of practices from installation to visual art.



Monograph

Monograph
Born in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in 1960 Tadej Pogačar was on of the first artist to use different bodies and a museum as a viable artistic medium. As early as 1960, he was fascinated by the manner in which a visual image could be broken down and manipulated into verticals and horizontals. He has been heralded as the father of new parasite art, influencing a younger generation of artists.



Kings of the Street

Kings of the Street
"Kings of the Street" is a public art project which turns our attention to city center marginals: homeless. Its complex, but open pattern offers a new model of connection and direct communication. It could hardly be said that the strategy of the P.A.R.A.S.I.T.E. Musem is directed precisely toward social commentary, messages or the description of "the actual state of things", rather it is an example of using artistic means to override the dominant strategies and discourses of power.


Laboratorium

Laboratorium
"Let us make some statements about the constitution of the firm reality of Laboratorium. In what way is the well known "firm reality" constituted in everyday life? How does it inscribe itself into actual time and space? The even X only becomes real with respect to its retroactive inscription (registation) into the symbolic network. It is precisely this logic of historisation / symbolisation that presents itself in the Laboratorium project...."


Art of History - Through the Body

Art of History - Through the Body
"... We could say two conceptions of the body are here confronted: the body as a projection screen for ideological constructions and manipulations (socialistic realism), and the body as a place of intimacy and privacy opposed to the public sphere, in which the individual finds refuge from ideological relations and human relationships. This opposition mirrors the ambiguity and is a kind of tragedy of the times in which it originated, while the museum is a form which gives the exhibits an appearance of being commonly accepted and normative interpretations of the past."
