Tales by the Fireplace: Miraculous Stories About Snakes

Škopar's House
Free entry

Primož Bizjan has been drawn to nature since childhood. For Tales by the Fireplace, he has prepared a collection of tales about snakes. Even as a child, he became interested in these animals, tried to rid himself of prejudices about them, and developed a very special relationship with them. In this ongoing process, wondrous things have happened, which he will share with us.

The exhibition at the Ivan Grohar Gallery will feature woodcuts, screen prints and printmaking matrices, in which Pilić transforms images from newspapers, photographs and other sources from the history of art. The artist employed cutting, transferring, layering, censorship and repetition to raise questions about authorship, presence, responsibility and the wider contemporary visual culture.
