Synopsis

The collective performance of artists and other experts in the field of visual art from all over Slovenia who have co-shaped the national cultural program is a reference to the traditional folk dance performed in a circle. In terms of art history, the Bela Krajina kolo is best known from Matija Jama’s paintings and from the later appropriations of the popular motif by the avant-gardes and the trans-avant-gardes of recent history. The participating dancers form a circle not by holding hands, but by proffering the work of art they have brought with them; once they have formed an unbroken chain they encircle Moderna galerija’s permanent collection through the gallery building and around it.
