Sonica 2020 razstava: Jenna Sutela, Holobiont

Finska umetnica Jenna Sutela v svojem delu identificira in reagira na kočljive družbene in materialne momente, pogosto povezane s tehnologijo. Na festivalu predstavljeno delo je naslovila ‘Holobiont’: entiteta, sestavljena iz mnogih vrst, ki so vse neločljivo povezane v svoji ekologiji in evoluciji. Video, v katerem glavno vlogo igra nattō bakterija Bacillus subtilis, dokumentira rituale Planetarne zaščite Evropske vesoljne agencije in raziskuje ekstremofilne bakterije v fermentirani hrani kot možnih distributerjih življenja med planeti. Delo skozi prikaz počasnega približevanja iz vesolja pa vse do notranjosti črevesja obravnava idejo utelešenega spoznavanja v planetarnem merilu.

V času, ko smo ljudje prenašalci virusa, se to starejše delo finske umetnice ukvarja z idejo človeškega telesa kot raznašalca semen in potencialnega gostitelja prihodnjih generacij nezemeljskih vrst. Čeprav razumemo, da bakterije v naših prebavilih ključno vplivajo na naše počutje (čutimo jih, a jih ne vidimo), Sutela v delu razmišlja o bakteriji Bacillus subtilis kot o drugem umu, naseljenem v naših telesih. Pri tem se počasi premika iz dveh skrajnih okolij, v katerih bakterija živi: znotraj naših teles v prebavilih in v vesolju, kjer jo na misijah uporabljajo kot testno vrsto v vesoljskih poletih.

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.
