What are the modus operandi for survival in today’s neoliberal world? Every day, we strain and rush to do many unnecessary tasks that cause us stress and pain and require physical and mental effort from us. All this to earn enough to pay the bills. We are trapped in our daily routine, locked in digital boxes, obsessed with scrolling through endless digital landscapes, horrified and simultaneously fascinated by the many disasters and the world’s imminent end. Wouldn’t we instead spend our time collectively building alternative paths that aren’t necessarily shortcuts and doing work that has a beneficial impact on both ourselves and the community? The actual modus operandi should be solidarity.

VideoGarden (VideoDvorišče) is a programme of curated screenings and talks on art, video, and film. In the spring-summer period we step out of the dark cinema and the cold gallery space into the open air. In collaboration with Škuc Gallery we organize screening events in its inner courtyard.

DIVA Station is an online and physical archive that SCCA-Ljubljana has been developing since 2005 with the aim of researching, documenting, archiving and presenting art film, video and new media art.

In case of rain, the screening will be held in the gallery.
The talk with the present artists will be held in English.
Free admission.

Organization: SCCA-Ljubljana/DIVA Station, Škuc Gallery
