This year, the Lighting Guerrilla officially entered the age of adulthood - with the 18th edition of the festival, dedicated to the artistic exploration of the medium of light and considered to be a unique manifestation of this type in the local area. This year’s Lighting Guerrilla topic is Transformations; works selected thematise and reflect on different aspects of change and transformation that we are witnessing in our environment or in our lives.
From the end of September at the Match Gallery we will be presenting Matej Stupica (1987), an academic painter, working in various fields of contemporary art and theatre. Our exhibition space will become a production space for new works and a thematically tailored solo exhibition of Stupica's research into the expanded meaning of drawing and installation in relation to the use of sound.
John Fekner is considered one of the most "famous unfamous" artists working in New York in the late 1970s and 1980s. He set his urban poetry to music, then transformed the words into stark public phrases, which, in journalistic typography, flooded like graffiti onto the buildings of a decaying metropolis that was beginning to be swallowed up by gentrification. He was part of the vibrant New York art scene of the time, exhibiting alongside Keith Haring, David Wojnarowicz, Jenny Holzer and others, and as one of the first Space Invaders, in tandem with Don Leicht, he took over the Bronx with the distinctive motifs of the computer game of the same name.
