Signature Event Context re-include in the exhibition
Berlin, January 31, 2008
The performative installation 'Signature, Event, Context' as proposed to the transmediale.08 exhibition by Janez Janša, Janez Janša and Janez Janša had been accepted for inclusion to the exhibition. In the run-up to the festival due to the curatorial and ethical convictions of Nataša Petrešin Bachelez, the guest curator of the transmediale.08 exhibition, a decision was taken with the festival direction to not include the project. However, after the exhibition opening, and following a discussion with the artists, the festival direction has agreed with the curator to re-include the project, while the curator would like to distance herself from the project. (Nataša Petrešin Bachelez, Stephen Kovats, Janez Janša, Janez Janša, Janez Janša - Mutual statement of the festival direction, the guest curator and the artists)

LOOK AT THE VIDEO [ITA]
