History
The idea of the Obrat Association started in 2004 as a collaboration between Polonca Lovšin and Urška Jurman realizing the a transdisciplinary project Ready 2 Change in Ljubljana comprising temporary artist-in-residence, exhibition, lectures, presentations and workshops. The intention of Ready to Change was to provide a multi-facetted insight into the issues of possible life alternatives and inovative approaches to all kinds of systems that rule our everyday lives.
Projects
Since the establishing of the association, it prepared plenty of projects mostly in the cooperation with other national and international institutions. In Mai 2010 Stefan Doepner presented the newest work Walking Tent – Robot Partner 4.0 in front of the Alkatraz Gallery at Metelkova mesto Autonomous Cultural Zone. The work was also discussed in the project Expanded Cirkulacija 2 Concourse. Another project Küchenmaschinen auf Abwegen from the series Robot Partners of Doepner was presented in spring 2010 at Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich (Switzerland).
In 2009 Polonca Lovšin featured the solo exhibition Bees, Cows, Lemons and Potato Peelings at P74 Centre and Gallery in Ljubljana, where she continues with her interest to rethink the relationship between urban/rural, and to develop small, low-tech inventions for everyday life. At the same time, she calls attention to the urgent necessity for using natural energy sources, local knowledge and simple solutions, which are founded on the principle of Do-It-Yourself.
The Obrat Assocition prepared further projects as Relocation, Space Practices and Politics, Rotating Instruments, Dinamo Door Dance, Seven Ordinary Things, Series 360, or Complaints Choir of Ljubljana. All are well presented on the association website.
