O razstavi

Umetnica bo na razstavi predstavila izbor iz aktualne produkcije risb, ki na kritično-humoren način obravnavajo zagate posameznice ali posameznika ob številnih potrošniških, identitetnih, poklicnih in političnih izbirah, ki jih ponuja današnji čas. Njene risbe, vselej povezane v serije, nastajajo po fotografijah, ki jih najde na svetovnem spletu, večkrat pa vanje vključi tudi besedilo, ki je večinoma v ‘univerzalnem’ angleškem jeziku. V ospredju teh konceptualnih risb, ki so kolaž večinoma citiranih podob in izjav, je njihova sporočilnost, s katero umetnica podaja svoj komentar in kritiko sodobne družbene realnosti.

About the exhibition

The exhibition brings forward a selection from the current production of drawings by Vesna Bukovec. The drawings, always conected in series, are based on the photos found on the Internet and often include text. They address the dilemma of the individual on a vast number of consumer, identity, professional and political choices offered today. The message of these conceptual drawings, which are collages of mostly quoted images and statements, is the artist’s comment and critique of contemporary social reality.
