Solo/Duo, Art Rotterdam 2020.
P74 Gallery proudly presents exhibition of Small but dangers, artists that represent young generation of contemporary visual art from Slovenia. They are dealing with detailed observation and analysis of the everyday - of everyday relations, behaviours and processes, to which we are constantly subordinated, yet, because of our daily routines, we do no longer notice them nor understand. Small but dangers are concerned with social topics, autonomy of subject in global society, relationship between system and individual. They use recycling strategies, do-it-yourself strategies and humor.
Small but dangers are using media of drawing, painting, action and perfomance and strategies of ready made to reflect complexity of contemporary media. They are projecting their own poetic understanding of everyday and put possibility of manipulation in the core of their interest. Small but dangers are questioning visual regimes of our time. Red thread in their works, objects, drawings etc. is visual play with no fixed rules, the nonsense of meaning. In a seemingly childish play with unforeseen consequences, an external adult onlooker loses his grounds.
Small but dangers are Mateja Rojc and Simon Hudolin (b. 1977). They both graduate from College for Visual Arts in Ljubljana (2005 and 2004 respectively). Simon Hudolin-Salči also completed further studies in the Visual Art Education programme at the Faculty of Education, University of Ljubljana, in 2008.
