WAS IT A CAR OR A CAT I SAW

Sooner or later, virtually every artist comes face to face with an artwork by another artist which, at first glance, looks similar, or even identical to his own.
This irritating experience was the starting point for me to address several key questions in connection with creativity and an artistic work, as well as how it should be read, or understood, and evaluated. So, together with Vladimir Vidmar, curator of Škuc Gallery, we invited fifteen artists to participate in this project with their works. The works were chosen in doubles and triples solely based on their formal and visual similarity. Finally, fourteen works were displayed at the exhibition.
For the opening evening and guided tours, visitors were welcomed by twins Jaka and Luka.

Works by artists: Jasmina Cibic, Elena Damiani, Vlatka Horvat, Nikita Kadan, Tanja Lažetić, David Maljković, Alenka Pirman, Reinigungsgesellschaft, Kelly Schacht, schultzschultz, Nika Špan in Adam Vačkar
