Nika Oblak & Primož Novak
Video documentation, 8 min 26 sec, 2009
A 3 by 5 meters advertising billboard promoting the two of us is placed deep in the woods in north Wales. The billboard is placed in a spot where it can hardly be seen, like a tree falling in a forest with no one around to hear it fall. Placed in a surrounding where it is likely not to be seen by anyone evokes questions to its purpose of being there.
Additionally, use of an appropriated advertising line ‘Nika Oblak & Primoz Novak – recommended by curators worldwide’ is a self ironic reference to marketing contemporary artists as brands.
Video documentation, 31 min 15 sec, 2009
Going South is a fictional documentary based on an actual Guinness World Record. It presents stages of a fake, fabricated story about how the two of us achieve a world record by pushing wheelbarrows from Ljubljana to Sharjah for 14.500 km in 3 years and 12 days.
The fictional documentary is a continuum of our exploration of media and capital driven society, exposing the media spectacle, and obsession with success and fame. It addresses the issues of global warming and environmental problems, however in a context of cliché media representations. The fictional documentary intrigues the viewer to deal with his/her relation to the general perception of information, which is being conveyed to us by the media on daily basis.

1996
Structure d’accueil pour deux chèvres
Performance
Les chèvres ont vécu trois mois dans la sculpture. L’artiste a organisé des visites de Los Angeles et des environs (Malibu, le parc national de Joshua Tree, différents quartiers de Los Angeles, etc.) pour les deux animaux. L’idée était d’accueilir un élément incontrôlable au sein d’une oeuvre d’art et le choix s’est porté sur les chèvres, animaux à psychologie singulière, qui cherchent toujours à surplomber leur environnement et à s’échapper.

found postcards, 2007 In this work I present a pair of found postcards that looks “totally the same” at first sight, but actually they differ in many details in the picture (a time shift of several minutes is apparent) and also on the back sides. On each postcard it is stated a different photographer; the post offices and the times when the postcards were sent are also varying.. However, the addressee is always the same person.
The pairs of postcards are open to diverse explanations of their origins and possible alternatives of their delivery.
found photographs + photo-montage, 2008 Using three found photographs depicting four people, I have created fourth one which was missing.

What does it mean to listen to someone else’s ears? Can two people experience the same space at the same time? I want to slip between your ears and allow you to slip between mine.

Keren Cytter
Somewhere between cinema-vérité and sitcom, home movie and reality TV, filmed performance and auteur film, Keren Cytter offers us a succession of scenes where reality seems to be constantly at loggerheads with fiction.
From the angle of this conflict – a conflict which thus representers others – everything is fair game, and each one of the parameters inherent to the execution of these works – from scenario and script to editing, by way of the filming itself and the actors’ performances – is entirely devised and introduced in a logic of tension, matched only by the heightening of the feelings at issue.
(…)
For her show at Le Plateau, Kerem Cytter juggles with the architecture of the place like a logical extension of what the structure of her films represents: loop and repetition effects are combined with duplications of spaces and artificial symmetries.

Dalibor Martinis
The work is site specific, the content and the medium are created taking into account the specific spatial and social context of Rosenheim. Binary code of the message was “written” by parking new, black and silver cars (VW Golfs) into the approx. 100 m long row along the main city square. Drivers one after the other drove the cars into the square so, that something which at the beginning looked as two or three wrongly parked cars grew into the huge parking lot. The cars of two different colours were arranged so that finally the text of a coded message was written along the square. Although probably no one of the passers-by could read it the message attracted great, if not always positive, interest. The whole action-performance of parking cars has been documented on video.
(*VHS video)
On January 2, 2004 Dalibor Martinis put a sum of money equivalent to 365 shares into the ZB Trend Investment Fund. Since on this day the price of one share in the ZB Trend was 102.22 euros, the amount invested equals 37,310.3 euros. The money was invested with an investment term of one year, i.e., 365 days, and constitutes the funds of the Man Foundation.
The ZB Trend Investment Fund is managed by ZB Invest, the Zagrebacka banka owned company for the management of investment funds. Zagrebacka banka d.d. carries out deposit bank operations for the funds of ZB Invest. PricewaterhouseCoopers d.o.o. has been appointed auditor of the investment funds managed by ZB Invest.
While the project is in progress, the artist/investor will go once a month up into the hills to hike the amplitudes that are shown by the worth of the investment for the current month. The appropriate altitudes will be measured with an altimeter. Thus the artist/investor will experience the changes in the value of his investment both financially and physically, and through movement in the natural landscape will reproduce the landscape of variable financial risk (the rise of the curve of the graph representing financial gain but at the same time physical loss, i.e., the additional physical effort, while fall in the value of the investment will entail a financial loss, but a physical gain, i.e., rest)
A Web site has been opened up to follow the course of the project in the physical and financial landscape with constantly updated information about the current worth of the investment and other financial indicators, such as changes in exchange rates and so on. An online computer and LCD monitor have been set up in the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb. The artist/investor will display project documentation in the context of artistic exhibitions and events.
At the end of the year the difference in the value of the investment 365 days after the investment will be determined, i.e., any profit there might be per share. Photographic and video documentation of the whole project will be on display. A large wall calendar for the past year, 2004, will be issued, which will monitor the artist’s perambulations in the hills (photographic documentation), and the movement of the value of the shares in the investment fund. Zagreb’s Museum of Contemporary Art will mount the event of the closure of the project, in which the residue of the whole annual profit after the costs of the project have been met will be spent by the division of the sum among all the spectators present at the closing event (the amount of the profit to be divided by the number of those attending). If the project makes a loss (either because of the unexpected fall in the value of the shares or because of costs higher than those planned), this will be debited to the artist/investor.
The selling price of the work Variable Risk Landscape by Dalibor Martinis corresponds to the value in euros of 365 shares in the ZB investment fund on the day of the sale.
The Man Foundation will seek additional resources for the Variable Risk Landscape and encourage donations and sponsorships. The Man Foundation will keep books and cover the costs of the project. All security is provided by the founder. The Man is totally dedicated to matters concerning the Variable Risk Landscape Project and will carry out no kind of transactions apart from these. After the closure of the project, the Man Foundation will go out of business.

A slow pan along a forest that breaks off at a small terrace in the foreground of the picture: Slender conifers stretch upwards over cut and fallen trunks, dead branches and roots, churned soil and dry grass, and parade past one another, structuring the space to impenetrable depths. The apparent naturalism does not hold up for long. Something is not quite right with this picture, this movement. In the background the trunks begin to stretch out horizontally. Has the image been digitally altered? Have artificial effects been applied to the idyllic scene? Not at all. Instead, the image as a whole turns out to be artificial, its realism the result of elaborate reconstruction. TRIFTER 1 strains at the synapses. Training for the digital. (Thomas Korschil)
