Nives Zalokar, Hiša na hribu 2024
Objavljeno: 10. Avg 2024
Na letošnji razstavi Hiša na hribu 2024 predstavljamo tudi dela gostujoče povabljene umetnice Nives Zalokar.
Na razstavi so dela, ki so začela nastajati med desetletnim bivanjem Nives Zalokar v Avstraliji, njenim tesnim sobivanjem in sodelovanjem z avstralskimi staroselci, tedenskimi druženji ob pletenju košar na tradicionalen način in študijem jezika in kulture ljudstva Wiradjuri iz New South Walesa na Univerzi Charlesa Stuarta v kraju Wagga Wagga.
Odkrivala je škodljive posledice angleškega kolonializma, se učila spoštovanja do »drugih«, sočutja in sobivanja.
Ko je v Sydneyju srečala in se spoprijateljila z begunci iz Irana, ki so kot sufiji pribežali v Avstralijo pred islamsko revolucijo, se ji je odprla še ena, prej njej neznana kultura.
Začela je raziskovati kompleksne duhovne pomene, skrite v vzorcih, tisočletno zgodovino, ob poslušanju sufijske glasbe je slikanje teh podob spremenila v duhovno prakso, meditacijo, ki temelji na lepoti in ljubezni, prvinah, ki sta v današnji zahodni sodobni umetnosti večinoma odsotni, če ne celo prezirani in omalovaževani.
Vzorce s preprog povečuje in jih predstavlja gledalcem v svoji barvni interpretaciji, da bi spoznali in videli in se ji pridružili v občudovanju in spoštovanju. Avstralska staroselska modrost pravi: "Glej, da boš videl, poslušaj, da boš slišal, uči se, da boš razumel."

Nives Zalokar, Hiša na hribu 2024
English: The exhibition features works that began to take shape during Nives Zalokar's ten-year stay in Australia, her close coexistence and collaboration with Australian Aboriginals, weekly gatherings for traditional basket weaving, and her study of the language and culture of the Wiradjuri people from New South Wales at Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga.
She discovered the harmful effects of English colonialism and learned to respect "others," cultivating compassion and coexistence.
When she met and befriended refugees from Iran in Sydney, who had fled to Australia as Sufis escaping the Islamic revolution, she was introduced to another previously unknown culture.
She began to explore the complex spiritual meanings hidden in the patterns, a thousand-year history, and, while listening to Sufi music, transformed the painting of these images into a spiritual practice, a meditation based on beauty and love—elements that are largely absent or even scorned and belittled in contemporary Western art.
She enlarges the patterns from carpets and presents them to viewers in her colour interpretation, inviting them to see, to join her in admiration and respect.
Australian Aboriginal wisdom says: Look to see, listen to hear, learn to understand.
