Budale\\, zlotvori in dvori bo v prostoru nekdanje samostanske cerkve GBJ v izrazito ambientalni luči predstavila njegov n ovejši kiparski ciklus\\, v katerem – kot je to običajno v njegovi pr aksi – uporablja najrazličnejše kiparske materiale in se poglobljeno nanaša na soočanje specifičnih zgodovinskih in aktualnih družbenih ko ntekstov. \\nKožul s svojo celostno serijo obravnava sodobno pojmovanje oblasti\\, represije\\, državljanske neposlušnosti\\, upora in žrtvova nja za ideje\\, pri tem pa se nanaša na izjemno pomemben zgodovinski dog odek\\, Veliki kmečki upor oziroma Slovensko-hrvaški kmečki punt iz le ta 1573. V kompleksni prostorski postavitvi se ob uvajanju groteskne in m račne ikonografije\\, tako značilne za upodabljanje kmečkega upora\\, sprašuje se o tem\\, kakšen je simbolni pomen tega dogodka danes\\, v o bdobju popolne prevlade individualizma\\, neoliberalizma\\, potrošništv a in avtonomnih tehnologij. Prav tako naslavlja temeljna vprašanja o pre govorni darvinistični človeški naravi\\, ki naj bi vselej sledila zako nu močnejšega in okrutnejšega.\\n“Kožulove figure so impozantne\\, kot da bi bile ustvarjene v spominske ali protokolarne namene\\, a so lah ko hkrati – ravno zaradi svoje pompoznosti – dojete tudi kot groteskn e in ironične. Stilizirane podobe nekdanjih veljakov in njihovih razredn ih nasprotnikov\\, so kritični uvid v duha prostora in časa\\, so karik atura fevdalizma\\, ki je ideološko utemeljil družbeno neenakost in vzp ostavil svojstven kastni sistem\\, kakor tudi ogledalo sodobnega časa v 21. stoletju\\, ko se neenakost vrača na velika vrata v nekoliko bolj ko mpleksni obliki\\, saj privilegiji niso več utemeljeni le na krvni linij i.”\\nIz besedila Mihe Colnerja: Obrazi novega fevdalizma v katalogu ra zstave.\\nRazstava je na ogled do 14. 2. 2027.\\n***\\nKristian Kožul: & #8220\\;1573. Fools\\, Villains\\, and Castles”\\;\\nOpening: Friday \\, 11 September 2026\\, at 7pm\\nGalerija Božidar Jakac\\nMuseum of Mod ern and Contemporary Art\\, Kostanjevica na Krki\\nThe exhibition of Zagr eb-based artist Kristian Kožul\\, entitled 1573. Fools\\, Villains\\, an d Castles\\, showcases his most recent sculptural cycle in a distinct amb ience of the former monastery church of GBJ. As it is common in his pract ice\\, the artist uses a wide variety of sculptural materials\\, while he focuses profoundly on confronting specific historical as well as current \\, but still utterly topical\\, sociopolitical contexts. \\nWith his com prehensive series\\, Kožul addresses modern understanding of authority\\ , repression\\, civil disobedience\\, rebellion and self-sacrifice for id eology\\, whilst referring to in Slovenian and Croatian cultural milieu a n exceptionally significant historical event: the Great Peasant Revolt of 1573. In a complex spatial arrangements\\, whilst introducing the grotes que and gloomy iconography so characteristic of the depictions of the pea sant revolt\\, he aims to question the symbolic significance of this even t today\\, in an era of the complete dominance of individualism\\, neolib eralism\\, consumerism and autonomous technologies. Furthermore\\, he add resses fundamental questions about the proverbial Darwinian nature of hum ankind\\, which is believed to always follow the law of the strongest and the most ruthless.\\n“Kožul’\\;s figures are imposing\\, as if t hey were made for commemorative or protocol purposes\\, however\\, they c an also be perceived as grotesque and ironic – precisely because of the ir pomposity. The stylised images of former dignitaries and their class o pponents offer a critical insight into the spirit of the space and time\\ , for they are caricatures of feudalism\\, which ideologically justified social inequality and established a peculiar caste system\\, as well as m irror the 21st century\\, a period in which social and societal inequalit y is returning in a slightly more complex form\\, since privileges are no longer based solely on the bloodline.”\\nFrom the essay by Miha Colner : The Faces of New Feudalism in the exhibition catalogue.\\nThe exhibitio n is on display until 14 February 2027.\\nhttps://www.gayout.com/europe/s lovenia/ljubljana/events/kristian-ko-ul-1573-2026-09-11 LOCATION:kultura.media.si URL:https://www.gayout.com/europe/slovenia/ljubljana/events/kristian-ko-ul-1573-2026-09-11 STATUS:CONFIRMED END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
