📣 Wonderful things are happening! Save the date and don't miss out!

𝗦𝗮𝗹𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱, 𝗚𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗩𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁 engages critically with the world we continue to inhabit, a world still deeply marked by colonial legacies that still shape political, economic, and cultural realities today.

Artists: Oscar Cueto, Helena Wittmann, Fehras Publishing Practices, Davide Degano, and Helena Tahir

Curator: Ilija Prokopiev

The exhibition gestures toward processes of liberation and transformation. It brings together the artistic voices of Oscar Cueto, Helena Wittmann, Fehras Publishing Practices, Davide Degano and Helena Tahir all coming from or beyond Europe, to explore moments of mutual reconfiguration through artistic practices as a process of liberation. Through their art practices, they present a dialogue between two critical perspectives: artists who confront colonial histories through personal or inherited experience, and artists who, while not direct inheritors of colonial trauma, engage deeply with its cultural, political, and moral weight. Their works transcend geographical and historical boundaries, spanning different artistic media and methodologies, as they interrogate the complex and often uncomfortable relationships between Europe’s colonial past and its contemporary realities.

Ја претставуваме нашата нова иницијатива, Friends of PrivatePrint Fund!

Минатите десет години, нашите пријатели, семејства и заедницата околу нас беа главната подвижна сила што ја поддржува нашата работа и нашите проекти, помагајќи ни да минеме низ предизвици и пречки. Сакаме да го надоградиме тоа заедништво во посебен фонд на пријатели и да ѝ го дадеме вистинското место на нашата заедница на поддржувачи.

\\

We are announcing our new initiative, Friends of PrivatePrint Fund!
Over the past ten years, our friends, family, and the community around us have been the driving force behind the support for our work and projects, helping us through challenges and obstacles. We wanted to build on that and acknowledge our supporting community in a designated Friends Fund. Read about it and join us!

A Bright Past is Ahead od Us:

Lara Reichmann
Disposable Bodies, 2024
Video installation, 10’

Galerija Škuc 21.6.-22.7.2025

Lara Reichmann analyses how marginalised bodies—especially women’s—are transformed within systems of labour, science, and technology. Merging historical fact with speculative fiction, she reveals how essential contributions are overlooked or mechanised. In Disposable Bodies, she reflects on the Women Astronomical Computers, using metaphor and poetic narrative to question who is remembered and how bodies become disposable in data-centric systems.
-
Lara Reichmann (b.1995) is a video and animation artist based in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her work is often based on stories of forgotten, erased, or indefinable places and characters dwelling on archived history’s peripheries. Her recent projects focus on digital interfaces, glitches, and time lapses through which parallel virtual landscapes of satellite imagery are built.

Galerija Škuc 21.6.-22.7.2025

Klelija Živković’s artistic practice explores aliveness as a radical form of resistance—an embodied response to systems of oppression, inherited shame, and emotional suppression. Her work invites us to see aliveness not as a given but as a skill: something to be learned, nurtured, and shared. Through her works, Živković constructs spaces where emotional truths are both confronted and transformed. She offers a language for resilience—one grounded in emotion, collectivity, and the quiet power of staying present in a world that often demands disconnection.
-
Klelija Živković (b.1989) is a transdisciplinary artist based in Skopje, North Macedonia. Formally trained across several design disciplines, her work is a theoretical, material, and experiential inquiry into boundaries, the physical, psychological, emotional, or spiritual barriers we construct to help us know ourselves as beings that occupy space and provide an interface for contact with our surroundings.

A Bright Past is Ahead of Us:

Jaione Cerrato
Framed, 2025
A series of six posters in different sizes

Galerija Škuc 21.6.-22.7.2025

Jaione Cerrato’s practice critically examines how we frame, aestheticise, and distance ourselves from nature. Rooted in ecological thought and speculative futures, her work challenges the anthropocentric gaze that reduces nature to image, symbol, or resource. In Framed, Cerrato exposes our paradoxical desire to protect and control the natural world, questioning the aestheticisation embedded in everyday visual culture. Through minimal imagery and poetic text, she invites reflection on our place within a living, interdependent system in transformation.
-
Jaione Cerrato (b.1988) is a visual artist with a background in graphic design, based in Berlin, Germany. Her practice is channelled through individual work and collaborations, one of which is the duo Cerrato–Halls, which focuses on the concept of value and its creation in contemporary society. She has collaborated with independent collectives and contributed to various institutions to generate meaningful discussion.
