The Present and Presence - Repetition 1

The Present and Presence ? Repetition 1, is being a partly changed and expanded first instalation of the exhibition The Present and Presence that opened the new Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova last November. Repetition 1 follows a special concept of repetition. The Present and Presence exhibition is being repeated for the following reasons: The Present and Presence exhibition is being repeated for the following reasons: 1 - Due to drastically cut exhibitions program budget, repeating an exhibition is some kind of recycling in a crisis. 2 - The repetition, on the other hand, aims to draw critical attention to the excessively fast and superficial consumption of intellectual content and underscore the significance of rereading. 3 - Repetition is one of the fundamental features of contemporary art and of the time and place we live in. 4 - Repetition is one of the crucial principles by which history is created. Today, for spaces outside the dominant system, it is important to analyze the traumas of local histories in this light as well. 5 ? Repetition is driven by trauma, the same kind of trauma that had led Moderna galerija to found, in 2000, its collection Arteast 2000+, now one of the conceptual cornerstones of the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova.
