You are cordially invited to attend the opening of a solo exhibition by artist Kaja Urh entitled Prepletanje | Interlacing on Friday, 10 April 2015, at 8pm at KiBela Gallery, Multimedia Center KIBLA.

“Mass media shape our mental images. This is most evident in the more popular cases, such as painting (e. g. Mona Lisa), while on the other hand a lot of images are underestimated. We consume mass media images, which means that our response is predetermined. The viewer does not necessarily establish any kind of contact with the artwork anymore, even though it appears that he is in a seemingly direct connection to the work. The possibility of an artwork having an immediate effect on the observer has virtually vanished. This is why the basis of the works comprises accidental, disregarded images (i. e. amateur, thematically undefined, unpopular etc.) from a digital medium, transferred onto the canvas. In doing so, their meaning is changed – from the “internet junkyard”, they are placed in the role of an artwork.”
― Kaja Urh

The exhibition will be showing until 9 May 2015. 
Kindly welcome. Admission free!
