CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST,
KONTINENTALNI ZAJTRK LJUBLJANA, MEMORY (W)HOLE
2 - 25 September 2005

In the frame of the conference, 20 curators, directors of galleries, museums and cultural centres from 17 countries will present themselves. Twenty three artists will present their author projects, especially designed for the exhibition and the specific location of the Ljubljana Castle. Most of them will prepare their on-site projects in Ljubljana; with a combination of installation and performances they will create an intertwining of initiatives and ideas that will mark the space surrounding the Ljubljanski grad as a "work in progress". The castle itself will be transformed into a living sculpture for the 100th anniversary of the City of Ljubljana owning the Ljubljana Castle.

Memory (W)hole

There are holes in our memory. There are voids in the city structure. There is a horror vacui in the painting. There is an emptied stage as the manifestation of the contemporary theatre (theatron - to see), but there is no hole like the memory vortex of our symbolic beginnings, a vortex that
annuls the ordinary logic of sense and nonsense and is the origin of being versus absolute non-existence. It is this that evokes memory.
The concept of the exhibition is a liminal space established by the unconscious. The unconscious cannot think the difference between a live sculpture and a stone sculpture. The unconscious forces us into an union through which the entire world slips, mercilessly joining ALL into a whole, while at the same time leaving us on the outside, as if we were undifferentiated, traceless, ostracised from our own world. A (W)HOLE.
