Janša, Janša & Janša mount Mount Triglav
10/19/2007
I kid you not.
If you drop by at Mala Galerija, Slovenska cesta 35 in Ljubljana, or at Gallery NOEMA between 15 October and 15 November 2007, you will have the chance to wonder at an exhibition featuring records of the following brave expedition:
“This year on 6 August, atop Mount Triglav, three artists – intermedia artist Janez Janša, director and performer Janez Janša, and visual artist Janez Janša – realized the action Mount Triglav on Mount Triglav.”
Sure sounds like team work!
(Click here for the presentation in Slovenian.)
The project is supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Slovenia, the Municipality of Ljubljana and the European Cultural Foundation.
Go Team!
EDIT: I suppose I might do well to mention that a Janez Janša happens to be Slovenia’s current prime minister and that Mount Triglav (literally: mt. three-heads or the triple-headed mountain) is the highest mountain in the country as well as one of its most prominent symbols, e.g. featured in the coat of arms, which also happens to be included in the national flag.

New looks? I like it…
What are those blokes doing?
By the way, and abourt counting to 10… I do… just because I lived 11 years in a Commonwealth country. Two sorts of backgrounds.
By the way, we have a new project called UNITED PHOTOS OF THE WORLD on UNITEDPHOTOS.BLOGSPOT.COM. check it out.

@Quint: Thanks! As I later explained in the edit, a Janez Janša also happens to be Slovenia’s prime minister, so it’s was an artwork happening possibly touching upon some political issues… Great pics at your new project!
@Kritik: Either that, or the real Kekec 🙂
