Share Facebook Twitter Google +

(Slovenščina) Napovedujemo interaktivno umetniško predavanje Tranzitne fikcije raziskovalke in umetnice Klare Debeljak (1995) in gledališkega režiserja in pisatelja Jana Krmelja (1995).

You are invited to the second event at the Sonic Pavilion, a new gallery opposite Tivoli Park whose transparent architecture enables spatial installations and experiments with intermedia, sound-based and research-driven artistic works.

We are announcing Transitory Fictions, an interactive immersive lecture by researcher and artist Klara Debeljak (1995) and theatre director and writer Jan Krmelj (1995).

In their collaborations, Klara Debeljak and Jan Krmelj explore the transformative possibilities of the material and conceptual infrastructures that define the post-factual collective space. Transitory Fictions is a speculative theory describing the formation of temporary narratives embedded in the histories and possible futures of selected architectures. The event will take the form of both a conversation and an installation, addressing projects in development, past projects and the directions of their ongoing research.

Since they have started collaborating they have prepared two audio-visual installations coding reality+ (MGLC, Ljubljana, 2025), coding reality++xEtangenfabriken (Sybil, Berlin, 2025), the theatre performance Država, The State (Cankarjev dom, Ljubljana, 2025) and an immersive audio piece Post Doom Amulets (IDAIDA Radio, Tallinn, 2025). Currently they are developing a site-specific audio-visual exhibiton for the Museum of Transitory Arts which will be displayed in 2027 in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

Museum of Transitory Art

MoTA –

Museum of Transitory Art

MoTA is a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to advancing the research, production and presentation of transitory, experimental, and live art forms.

MoTA is a museum without a permanent collection or a fixed space. Instead, its programs are realised in different locations and contexts in temporary physical and virtual spaces.

MoTA organizes and supports transitory art in the form of continuous events, exhibitions and educational programs both locally and internationally. As its name indicates, MoTA examines what a museum can be today and in the future.

MoTA is in constant search for the new, the uncertain, and the undefined.

MoTA works on several continuous programmes & projects. We run MoTA Point – a Space for Art & Ideas, we curate and produce the annual SONICA Festival, in addition to regular music programmes such as SONICA Series and SONICA Classics.

Within the years of running our residency programme, we’ve established T.R.I.B.E. – a network of residency spaces in the Balkans & Eastern Europe.

We’ve also initiated the research and archive platforms ArtistTalk.eu and Mediateque MoTA & Tomaž Brate. Our educational programmes serve a broader audience with ongoing workshops, talks, symposia, and internships.
