at the SPIDER Athens Festival
Background
The main reason for establishing the association was to promote and carry out activities regarding design theory and theoretical work, which is often disregarded in Slovenia in comparison with practical work, as the latter is visually attractive and appealing to the professional, media and public. The lack of theoretical work is even more evident in design, as only a handful of studies on theory of design have been published in Slovenian language.
Lectures and exhibition programme
In 2008 Pekinpah in collaboration with the Museum of Architecture and Design (former Architecture Museum Ljubljana) organised a series of lectures about sustainable alternatives in design, hosting international lecturers.
In 2009 they conceived an overview exhibition on the development of design at the Slovene company Iskra. The project marked the 30th anniversary of the launch of Iskra's internationally recognised telephone, the ETA 80, by the distinguished Slovene designer Davorin Savnik. In February 2010 the exhibition was presented through lecture An Overlooked Giant: Iskra, Non-aligned Design 1946-1990 by Barbara Predan at the Fourth International Conference on Design Principles and Practices at the University of Illinois, Chicago.
Publishing
Back to Design: an Anthological Survey of Design Theory in Slovenia was published in Slovenian language in summer 2007 by Pekinpah together with Litera Publishing House.
In November 2009, the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAD) and the Pekinpah Association released Sustainable Alternatives in Design: It's High Time We Start Losing Time, a book of lectures on design theory edited by Barbara Predan and Cvetka Požar. The book is available either in English or Slovenian language and features texts by Dieter Rams, Ezio Manzini, Jonathan Chapman, Clive Dilnot, Per Mollerup, and Victor Margolin.
The book ISKRA: Non-aligned Design 1946-1990 accompanied the exhibition with the same title in November 2009. A separate Slovenian edition was also published; both in collaboration with the Museum of Architecture and Design (MAD).
In September 2009 the association published the new album of the duet Silence, The Passion of the Cold, a limited edition handmade book containing two CDs, featuring music from or inspired by Slovene director Tomaž Pandur's plays Barroco and Kaligula.
The SPIDER project
The SPIDER project was initiated by three dancers and choreographers: Matej Kejžar (Slovenia), Michaël Pomero (France), who met in Brussels (at Rosas) and Antigone Gyra (Greece), with an aim of extending neurotical edges of national borders, festival formats and artistic practices. The project weaves a web of transnational circulation (and mobility) of around 40 artists from different countries and cultures and from various artistic fields and milieus (dancers, choreographers, musicians, writers, sculptors, visual artists). Multimedia artistic creation is seen as a tool against social exclusion and the arts is brought to the streets.
The first festival takes place in Greece: THE SPIDER NET goes out to the streets and invites all Athenians: Greeks, immigrants, straight, gay, unemployed, working, retired, married and single. At the festival in Athens also Slovene artists are involved as choreographers, actors, visual artists and writers (Matej Kejžar, Leja Jurišić and Teja Reba, Urša Vidic, Andreja Kopač). The SPIDER will continue its net work at the Španski borci Culture Centre in Ljubljana in March 2011, continues in Lyon (November 2011), and in Zagreb and Salzburg (December 2011). It is included into the programme of the Maribor, European Capital of Culture 2012 and plans the inclusion of Maribor, Istanbul and Sofia in The Spider 2012-2014.
