A minute's silence for the self-evident. Somewhere it is waiting and languishing because today it is almost gone. Even the most self-evident things under the sun have to be fought for. Horvat's Office Art is about denying the self-evidence of everyday objects. For the artist, watering flowers was a given. Even though there were no flowers at all. There was soil, soaked in tea, and instead of a clay pot, there was a perforated can of peas. Underneath, carelessly stacked square leaves waited for the moisture to break through the soil and leave a trace. Everyone leaves something behind. Horvat's works form a landscape between theme and darkness, the exhibited and the real, between work and material. Let's try a word parallel: Without the sun, we are silent, but that does not mean we are already there. There is less light and the feeling is left at the tip of our tongue.

Aleš Horvat (1973) graduated from the Academy of Theatre, Radio, Film and Television, and studied philosophy at the Faculty of Arts in Ljubljana. He founded the Centre for Positive Revolutions, a cultural and aesthetic forum. For the last thirteen years, he has been working intensively in the field of contemporary visual art and has presented himself in numerous solo exhibitions across Slovenia.
