Break21

18/6–7/7/2002

Kapelica Gallery, K4 Club, Cyberpipe (Ljubljana)

Break21, 6th international festival of emerging artists, is entitled Dead or Alive. The apocalyptic tone of the syntagm Dead or Alive involves the staging as well as practical thinking on the paradigms of the living, semi-living, semi-dead and dead. Their contemporary transformations have evolved from trends and changes in science and technology, reaching out also to religious and ideological concepts and psychological states.

Dead or Alive was the first large-scale curatorial project by Olga Majcen Linn and Sunčica Ostoić who were to form the curatorial collective Kontejner later that year.
