Nika Špan
Press release
National Participation - Slovenia (Republic of)
The project Nika Špan is preparing for the Biennale Arte 2024 is ushered into the historical context of Venice as a foreign body, an alien and unexpected element. An enigmatic entity of a highly specific exterior, recognizable as something unnamable, it speaks about itself, recounting the story of its entry into the sphere of art, while at the same time (indirectly) addressing something else. It simultaneously represents an unusual parallel with what is at the center of the paradigm of art: It is an object alien to itself, alienating as a consequence the experience of everyone who encounters it.
Commissioner: Martina Vovk
Curator: Vladimir Vidmar
