We are informing you about the exhibition project of Kolektiva Institute, co-organized by Vesna Bukovec, SCCA-Ljubljana's webmaster.

In the 13th Video Evening KOLEKTIVA presents videos from Nataša Skušek and Katja Skušek’s project The Golden Thigh of the 2008–2011 period.

Nataša & Katja Skušek: Piknik na travi / Picnic on the grass, 2011

About the project

The Golden Thigh is a collaborative art project by Nataša and Katja Skušek. The project involves a discussion about nutrition, food preparation and everything else related to food. At first glance, it has a light, humorous structure. However, a more detailed examination reveals a whole range of divergent views, issues and obsessions.
