Rujenje / Half of a C / C 的一半
25. 2.–25. 3. 2021
Lepo vabljeni na razstavo Kristine Hočevar z naslovom Rujenje, ki bo v Galeriji Škuc na ogled od četrtka, 25. februarja, od 12. ure dalje!
Umetnica: Kristina Hočevar
Kuratorka: Iza Pevec
Razstava pesnice Kristine Hočevar Rujenje se povezuje z istoimensko pesniško zbirko, ki tematizira zasebnost, nastala pa je po umetničinem bivanju na pesniški rezidenci na Kitajskem ter izkušnji tamkajšnjih politik nadzora. Koncept zasebnosti je, kot eksplicitno vpet med posameznika in družbo, močno zgodovinsko in kulturno pogojen, jasna definicija tega pojma pa se izmika že v okviru posamične družbe. Rujenje ohranja pomensko odprtost tega koncepta in o njem razmišlja z različnih vidikov: intimnosti, kulturne pogojenosti in jezika oziroma prevajanja ter umetnosti kot prakse, ki je prav tako razpeta med zasebnim in javnim. Vpeljava za avtorico novega medija poudarja večplastnost teme zasebnosti, ki se ob stiku dveh kultur še dodatno razpira v svoji kompleksnosti in neujemljivosti.

Kristina Hočevar (1977) je avtorica sedmih pesniških zbirk, med katerimi je za Repke (2008) prejela nagrado Zlata ptica, za Na zobeh aluminij, na ustnicah kreda (2012) pa Jenkovo nagrado. Slednja je bila tudi v celoti prevedena v nemščino (Auf den Zähnen Aluminium, auf den Lippen Kreide, 2017). Njene pesmi so uvrščene v različne antologije in prevedene v 15 jezikov, v knjigi 3 way art book – Trosmerna knjiga umetnika pa se prepletajo z grafikami Gorazda Krnca. Sodeluje tudi s kolektivom Lezbična četrt in v zvočno-pesniških nastopih s Tomažem O. Rousom. Vzporedno z ustvarjanjem poučuje slovenščino, lektorira in občasno prevaja leposlovje iz angleščine. Razstava Rujenje / Half of a C / C 的一半, s katero prvič vstopa na področje vizualne umetnosti, je nastala kot posledica večmesečnega molka in nezmožnosti besed; te so se v istoimensko pesniško zbirko začele sestavljati šele pozneje.
Rujenje / Half of a C / C 的一半
25. 2.–25. 3. 2021
You are kindly invited to Kristina Hočevar’s exhibition entitled Half of a C, which will be on display from Thursday, 25 February, from 12 noon onwards!
Artist: Kristina Hočevar
Curator: Iza Pevec
The exhibition Half of a C by the poet Kristina Hočevar is tied to the poetry collection of the same title, which focuses on privacy and was created after the artist’s stay at a poetry residency in China and her experience of the politics of control there. The concept of privacy, as explicitly enmeshed between the individual and society, is strongly historically and culturally conditioned, and a clear definition of this notion is already elusive within a single society. Half of a C maintains the semantic openness of this term and reflects on it from various aspects: intimacy, cultural conditioning and the language or translation, as well as art as a practice that is also torn between the private and the public. The introduction of the medium, which is new to the author, underlines the multifaceted nature of the subject of privacy, which is further expounded in its complexity and incompatibility by the contact of the two cultures.

Kristina Hočevar (1977) is the author of seven poetry collections, among which she received the Golden Bird Award for Repki [Little Tails] (2008) and the Jenko Award for Na zobeh aluminij, na ustnicah kreda [Aluminium on Teeth, Chalk on Lips] (2012). The latter has also been translated into German in its entirety (Auf den Zähnen Aluminium, auf den Lippen Kreide, 2017). Her poems have been included in various anthologies and translated into 15 languages, and are also featured side by side with the graphic prints by Gorazd Krnc in the artist’s book 3 way art book. She collaborates with the Lesbian Quarter collective and in sound and poetry performances with Tomaž O. Rous. In addition to her creative work, she works as a teacher of Slovenian, a proofreader and an occasional literary translator from English into Slovenian. The exhibition Rujenje / Half of a C / C 的一半, with which she enters the field of visual art for the first time, came about as a result of months of silence and inability to utter words; these began to compile themselves into the poetry collection of the same title only later.
