Thousands of animals and one or two giants, the gardeners, inhabit this miniature jungle. “War and Peace in the Vegetable Patch” gets close to ladybird, aphis, and field mouse to give a poetic, sometimes funny, but always rigorously scientific narrative of the interactions between the garden’s vegetables and the other plants, animals and humans there. Chemicals are banned from this organic plot which, year after year amazes with its vegetables, flowers…and all kinds of creatures.
Our Cold Front from the Balkans exhibition focuses on different generations of artists and art groups from the Balkan region. Throughout the exhibition, we keep sharing detailed information about the artworks. Take a look at Mark Požlep’s “Stranger than Paradise” video installation. Also you can check our interview with the artist on our YouTube channel!
