RAZSTAVA: MARMORNI PRAH & VZREJANJE PRAHU

Razstava je na ogled od 12. julija do 14. septembra 2025

V okviru festivala Art Stays tudi to poletje v starodavnih sobanah Ptujskega gradu ob boku historičnih umetnin gostimo sodobno likovno umetnost.

Talya Lubinsky (ZA): Marmorni prah

Marmorni prah premišljuje o materialnem odnosu med trajnostjo in razpadom, ki ga utelešajo spominska mesta in krajine pokopališč. Na teh mestih se navidezno trajno sreča z minljivostjo razpadajočega telesa. Iz te inherentne napetosti umetnica postavlja vprašanja o izgubi in vrnitvi, odsotnosti in prisotnosti.

Marble Dust contemplates the material relationship between permanence and disintegration embodied in memorial sites and the landscapes of cemeteries. It is at these places in which the ostensibly permanent comes into contact with the ephemerality of the disintegrating body. From this inherent tension the artist poses questions on loss and return, absence and presence.

Paul Hazelton (UK): Vzrejanje prahu

Paul Hazelton je začel ustvarjati svoje značilne skulpture iz prahu leta 2006, potem ko je opazoval prah, ki se je nabiral na predmetih v ateljeju. Spomnil se je materine obsedenosti s čistčo, zato je ta zgodnja dela iz prahu poimenoval “Brezmadežna spočetja: koncepti, ki vključujejo nadzor nad umazanijo in spodkopavanje čistoče”. Prav ta nenavadna mešanica domačnosti in želje po preseganju materialnosti v Hazeltonovih delih iz prahu ustvarja most med tem, kar razumemo kot vsakdanje življenje, in vprašanjem bivanja.

Paul Hazelton started his signature “dust sculptures” in 2006 after observing the dust that had collected on objects in his studio. Recollecting his mother’s obsession with cleanliness he decided to call these early dust-works ‘Immaculate Conceptions: concepts involving the control of dirt and subversion of cleanliness’. It is the curious mix of domesticity and the desire to transcend materiality in Hazelton’s dust work that creates a bridge between what we understand as everyday living and the question of being.
