Vesna Bukovec, SCCA-Ljubljana's webmaster is taking part at the 13th edition of Maremetraggio, International Short Film and Debut Works Festival (July 1-7, 2012, Trieste, Italy). Vesna is participating at the festival exhibition entitled It’s All Right, Slovenia Play_01, video umetnost with three videos: It Will Be OK (2009), I love myself for who I am (2010), I trust in the process of life (2010).

The festival Maremetraggio won’t be only cinema, but it will open for the first time to another artistic language based on the creation and reproduction of images moving inside a screen: the video art. This particular form of expression will be explored through a dedicated event, ironically titled “It’s all right”. The curator of the event will be Manuel Fanni Canelles and the exibition will be realized thanks to the collaboration of Verdi Theatre and the Artistic and Cultural Association Coreofficina. The neighboring Slovenia with its artist will be the protagonist of the works that will be host inside the foyer of the Theatre from the 1st to the 3rd of July in an installation composed by a series of screens, that will proposed in loop several art videos. The contrast between the perfect aesthetics of the Lirical Theatre and the videos presented, that communicate the uneasyness of contemporary man, is a choice that amplifies the strenght of works in exposition.

Artists: Vesna Bukovec, Ana Čigon, Aleksandra Saška Gruden, Maša Jazbec, Zmago Lenárdič, Nika Oblak & Primož Novak, Špela Pavli, Mark Požlep, Nataša Prosenc Stearns, Pila Rusjan, Robertina Šebjanič & Suzana Grau
Curator: Manuel Fanni Canelles
Production: Maremetraggio Festival, Artistic and Cultural Association Coreofficina and Teatro Verdi
