Adam Basanta: Sunken Treasures (2018)

Akvarij, kaseta, zvočniki, nepremočljiv papir, akvarijska črpalka za tokovanje.

Starodavne rušeine padajo proti dnu oceana. Opuščene ali brodolomne, utopljene. Hitrost, s katero so tehnologije zavržene, ustvarja miren ekosistem s počasnim utripom. Čigava življenja so bila to? Še kot vrsta, ki se sooča z ekološkim propadom, ohranjamo edinstveno obsesijo, da povezujemo ločene predmete v kohezivno zgodbo. Dno duševnega oceana je v škatlici za radovedne. Delo nadaljuje Basantovo raziskovanje zaprtih sistemov in igrive absurdnosti. Potopljeni zakladi se iz prihodnosti ozirajo na artefakte tehnologije in v njih iščejo povezovalno zgodbo. V odsotnosti pomena je oblika vse, kar ostane.

Adam Basanta je umetnik, skladatelj in izvajalec eksperimentalne glasbe iz Montreala. Njegovo delo raziskuje tehnološke prakse kot aktivne, participatorne, multisenzorne in performativne oblike.

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.
