Projects

In 2004 the team conceived an engaging public art project entitled The Animals 1914–1918 installed in Kobarid. From 2005 to 2010 a modular display laboratory called "Kabinet" (The Cabinet), a temporary exhibiting space (located in the inner courtyard of the Škuc Gallery, was conceived in relation to the phenomenon of private collections and their displays. The following projects took place in the Cabinet: La Capilla Atomica; Alternations by Jani Pirnat; Shut Your Eyes and Watch (Silent Lectures) and On Profession II - Rog Teachings both by Alenka Pirman, Folk Museum of Nani Poljanec Rogaška Slatina curated by Pirnat; Specimen by Damijan Kracina and Jani Pirnat; Napeto v kabinetu [Distended Cabinet] installation by Irena Romih; Jelenometry research exhibition by Alexei Monroe and DRS members (a hunt for the symbolic Stag on the borders of natural science, humanities, and art).

The ongoing project by DRS S'pajkanje [Domestic Spider] started as an extensive research on the metal wall spider, an ornament that has been adorning the walls of Slovene homes for almost 60 years, in the meantime becoming so commonplace that it gets overlooked even by its owners and their neighbours. Some of the findings were displayed at the Kolodvor Library in September 2009.

From 2007 to 2010 DRS co-organised a joint project with Škuc Gallery and Celje Gallery of Contemporary Art: Artwork – a series of lectures that focused on individual works of art. The first lecturers were Tomaž Brejc and Bojan Gorenec followed by Jože Barši, Miklavž Komelj and Dunja Kukovec in 2008 and Dragan Živadinov, Meta Gabršek Prosenc and Martina Vovk in 2009. In 2010 Artwork featured lectures by Beti Žerovc and Jiři Bezlaj.
