Razstava predstavlja novo produkcijo petih slovenskih umetnic in umetnikov mlajše generacije. V nedavnih manifestacijah svojih umetniških praks so delovali v kontekstih lokacijsko specifične umetnosti, prostorskih intervencij ter digitalnih razširitev, simulacij in drugih oblik virtualnosti. Konceptualna izhodišča razstave se oblikujejo okoli vprašanja, kako na izkušnjo teh praks vpliva njihova premestitev v navidezno nevtralen galerijski prostor. Kurator razstave nastopa tudi kot sodelujoči umetnik – kot soudeleženec, ne kot zunanji akter procesa. Razstava zato ni zasnovana kot izbor že obstoječih ali naročenih del, temveč kot načrtovanje izhodiščnih razmer in pogojev.
Pozornost je usmerjena v sam akt porajanja umetniških del – ne v smislu modernističnih pojmovanj avtorstva ali sodobnoumetniških kritik produkcijskih pogojev, temveč v načine, kako se dela odzivajo na svoje materialne in medijske pogoje. S premestitvijo v galerijski prostor so ti pogoji ukinjeni oziroma nevtralizirani; soočena s to ukinitvijo se dela prično odzivati na najmanjša odstopanja v percepciji galerijske nevtralnosti. Razlog za takšno »premestitev« se razkriva v značilnostih izbranih praks, ki delujejo skoraj v biološkem stanju. Opredeljujejo jih pojmi, kot so okužba, evolucija, prepustnost, samoniklost, dedovanje, mimikrija. Vsako odstopanje od idealnega modela kot zbodljaj sproži aktivnost: dela vzorčijo tla pod seboj, določajo smer gibanja, se ščitijo pred zunanjostjo, si odmerjajo prostor in zasičijo ozračje.
Skupinsko snovanje razstave zato ni izpostavljeno kot socialni ekosistem, temveč kot materialni – kot »polje delovanja materije«. Kuriranje postane eksperiment v petrijevki: nastavljanje pogojev in parametrov, ki vodijo v nadaljnji razvoj.

The exhibition presents a new body of work by five younger-generation Slovenian artists. In recent articulations of their practices, they have worked within the contexts of site-specific art, spatial intervention, digital expansion, simulation, and other forms of virtuality. The conceptual framework of the exhibition centres on the question of how transposing these practices into the seemingly neutral gallery space shapes the conditions of their reception and experience. The curator assumes a dual role in the project – not as an external mediator, but as an active participant in the artistic process. Thus, the exhibition is not conceived as a selection of pre-existing or commissioned works, but as a structuring of initial relations and conditions.
The focus is on the emergence of artworks – not in terms of modernist concepts of authorship or contemporary artistic critiques of production conditions, but in how works respond to their material and medial circumstances. When placed in the gallery space, these conditions are nullified or neutralised; in response, the works begin to react to even the slightest deviations in the perception of the gallery’s neutrality. The rationale for such a “transposition” is evident in the very characteristics of the selected practices, which operate in an almost biological state. They are defined by notions such as infection, evolution, permeability, emergence, succession, and mimicry. Like a jolt, every deviation from the ideal model triggers activity: the works probe the ground beneath them, determine trajectories of movement, shield themselves from the exterior, demarcate their space, and saturate the surrounding atmosphere.
The collective conception of the exhibition is therefore presented not as a social ecosystem but as a material one – as a “field of material agency”. Curation becomes an experiment in a Petri dish: the establishment of conditions and parameters that enable further development.
