___________

Razstava Pod pritiskom v ospredje postavlja odnos do materialnosti. Predstavlja dela Maruše Meglič in Sare Rman, ki eksperimentirata z materiali in preizkušata njihove zmožnosti. Pri obeh igra pomembno vlogo proces, v katerem raziskujeta krhkost, vzdržljivost, prilagodljivost in ireverzibilnost materiala. Nepredvidljivost samega procesa in izbire uporabljenih materialov dopušča možnost napak, hkrati pa narekuje vsebino umetniškega dela. Vzporednice v odnosu do materiala samega lahko najdemo tudi v dojemanju prostora, v katerega umetniško delo postavita. Umestitev v prostor sooblikuje posamezna umetniška dela in vsaka nova postavitev vsebinsko nadgrajuje že vzpostavljeno vsebino del. Soočenje del umetnic v Galeriji Škuc oblikuje nove vsebinske povezave, ki temeljijo na premisleku o materialnosti, in nam na ta način omogoča večplastno razumevanje del.

The exhibition Under Pressure brings to the fore the attitude towards materiality. It presents the works of Maruša Meglič and Sara Rman, who experiment with materials and examine their capabilities. In the work of both artists, an important role is played by the process that explores the fragility, durability, adaptability and irreversibility of materials. The unpredictability of the process and the choice of the materials used allow for the possibility of mistakes, while at the same time dictating the content of the artwork. Parallels in the relationship with the material itself can also be found in the perception of the space into which the artists install the artwork. The placement in the space co-creates the individual artworks and the already established content of the works is meaningfully supplemented by each new installation. The confrontation of the works by the two artists at Škuc Gallery establishes new connections that consider materiality, hence allowing us to understand the works in a multifaceted way.
