KUD NUM Art Process Dissection #2 – Tomaž Furlan

The second edition of the Art Process Dissection will explore Tomaž Furlan’s artistic process. The participants will get to know it through the practical workshop A Manual by Tomaž Furlan, conceived as a collective continuation of the artist’s work.

The work of art that serves as the basis of the workshop is Tomaž Furlan’s Tunnel (2025), composed of numerous silhouettes of bodies that form a passageway in a linear arrangement. The light – the intersecting open space in the middle – is a shared open space, i.e. a collective tunnel.

As part of this practical workshop, the participants will work with the artist on replicating the work in a different technique. All the participants will contribute their own imprint – the outline of their respective bodies, which will then be cut out of a more solid material and folded into a new compact piece. Following the example of the Tunnel, this piece will form a new intersecting passageway – a collective tunnel. The new work of art will remain displayed as part of the exhibition.

Maximum number of participants: 15

The Art Process Dissection is a discursive cycle conceived by the artists Urša Sekirnik and Nina Jan (NUM Cultural and artistic society – KUD NUM). The idea behind the dissection is to make the general public familiar with the creative and thought processes of a wide variety of artistic practices, while also building a new environment for interartistic socialising and exchange of ideas. The dissection is not just a presentation of a project or an artist talk accompanying a presented or exhibited work. Each dissection is created in a dialogue with an individual artist and is an invitation for the artist to look for, find, propose and question the way that would best suit the presentation of the work process. Rather than focussing on the final artwork, the dissection cuts into the artistic process and uncompleted artistic research, revealing the background of the artist’s train of thought, search for ideas, decision making and ending up in dead ends.
