Projects

Alongside an open phraseology dictionary web project Razvezani jezik (Unleashed Tongue), launched in 2004 at http://razvezanijezik.org - the team has conceived an engaging public art project entitled The Animals 1914-1918 installed in Tolmin. In Autumn 2005 the interdisciplinary project was conceived in relation to the phenomenon of the private collections: a modular display laboratory called Kabinet is a temporary exhibiting space (located in the inner courtyard of the ŠKUC Gallery, which is dedicated to the presentation of the projects by the DRS members and guests. Up to now the following projects took place in the Cabinet: La Capilla Atomica; Alternations by J. Pirnat; Shut Your Eyes and Watch (Silent Lectures) and On Profession II - Rog Teachings both by A Pirman, Folk Museum of Nani Poljanec Rogaška Slatina curated by J. Pirnat; Specimen by D. Kracina and J. Pirnat; Napeto v kabinetu (Distended Cabinet) installation by Irena Romih; Jelenometrija a Cabinet research exhibition by Alexei Monroe and DRS members (a hunt for the symbolic Stag on the borders of natural science, humanities and art).

In Autumn 2007 the DRS initiated a new joint long-term project with ŠKUC Gallery and Celje Gallery of Contemporary Art: Artwork - a series of lectures that focus on individual works of art. The first lecturers were Tomaž Brejc and Bojan Gorenec followed by Jože Barši, Miklavž Komelj and Dunja Kukovec in 2008 and Dragan Živadinov, Meta Gabršek Prosenc and Martina Vovk in 2009. [1]

The latest ongoing project by DRS S'pajkanje started as the exhibition in Ljubljana Kolodvor Library in September 2009, further exist and it is developed as a blog [2]. Its subject is the metal wall spider, an ornament that has been adorning the walls od Slovenian homes for almost 60 years, in the meantime becoming so commonplace that it gets overlooked even by its owners and their neighbours.
