LJUD

The aliens have set their sights on Aurillac! According to the latest experimental research methods of the Ljud group we expect them to appear in the following locations:

On Wednesday the 18th of August at 4 p.m. (CG’s Place, next to the Festival Center)

On Thursday the 19th of August at 6 p.m. ( somewhere in the pedestrian zone)

On Friday the 20th of August at 4 p.m. (CG’s Place, next to the Festival Center)

On Saturday the 21st of August at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. (elsewhere in the pedestrian zone)

On Sunday the 5th of February 2023 at 5.15 a.m. (on Rue Guy de Veyre 15)

However as the method of research is highly experimental it is probable that one of these dates is incorrect, the Ljud group is stil trying to figure out which one…

Updates.coming.soon!

The lack of news about our workings on KUD Ljud pages is a result (contrary to general expectations) of increased levels of our activities. In other words: we’ve been so active in the ‘real’ world, that we fail to reflect upon our heroic actions, let alone translate them into the language of the web community.

But what have we been up to actually?

We.have.been.repairing, loading and unloading our van; been losing ourselves on the map; setting up and tearing down our spaceship; searching for its lost pieces; improvising; patching overburdened costumes, tires, hearts and heads; rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing, rehearsing and performing.

After.Guerilla.Lighting festival in Ljubljana, we left for Zagreb for the second time this year. The mini ‘Balkan tour’ on the festivals of Croatia, Bosnia and Montenegro was followed by Austrian Pflasterspektakel in Linz and a festival Sogni a spazi (Dreams in public space) in villages of Marmilla in Sardinia. After long ferry rides, Raynair flights and poorly marked Italian highways the crew finally met up again in Austrian Graz. We have visited the city of Graz for the third time this year as it is the home of one of our largest supporters, i.e. festival La Strada, and premiered there with the project “Secret Agents Choir”. The majority of Ljuds are at the moment in Sweden, “cut off from the world”. Together with Swedish feminist collective ÖFA, they are preparing a forest installation near the village Udavella, a product of the third open house within the project H.O.M.E. The whole team will rejoin at the end of the week in France and will fight (pink shoulder to pink shoulder) with the floods of art, parties and prostitution in one of the largest festivals of street theatre in the world, namely in Aurillac where also the fourth H.O.M.E. open house will be held. The tour of “Electric invasions” will be concluded (like last year) in Israel, but before that we scheduled our landing in Germany and Belarus (at the festival Belaya vezha in Brest) as well.

We.plan.on.meeting domestic audience on the 28^th of August at PUF (Seaside Street Festival) in Koper. The dwellers of Ljubljana will be able to visit the space asylum seekers at their home on 19^th September within the 17^th Ex Ponto festival, when we will present the premiere of our ambiental interactive event “Electric Tea Party”. See you there! Kindly invited!

The Ljud’s missed the “Cleaning Slovenia in one day” action but they decided to contribute in their own special way by cleaning the entire city of Graz in just 45 minutes…

The city and its inhabitants were cleaned as part of the Lendwirbel street event.

Aliance will land in Zagreb on Friday, 4.6., at 8.oo p.m.. And they will done this second time, because they didn’t manage to researc it well at first. Scientists of the Ljud group predict that they will be woudering the city also on Sutarday.

Aliance will recive welcoming and official greetings by Cest is d’Best festival.

For all those that couldn’t make it to the Streetwalker gallery we made a virtual version… Also you can watch a short movie about the Streetwalker from the vest.si portal (below).

Because of overwhelming interest we have decided to organize two additional guided tours of the Streetwalker ready-made open air gallery!

This Friday the 16th of April at 17:00 and 19:00 hours (in front of the Vžigalica gallery).

See you there!

..

Opening on Tuesday 13th April at 17.00 in front of galerija Vžigalica, Trg francoske revolucije 7

The gallery will be open 24 hours a day…

Admission 0 € (schoolchildren, students and pensioners have 50% discount)
Smoking is allowed in the gallery.

The young artistic collective Ljud will launch the first “ready-made outdoor gallery” in Ljubljana on the 13th April at 17:00. Pocestnica, with its »entrance« from the Vžigalica Gallery (Trg francoske revolucije 7) and its »exit« in Studio 8 (Soteska 8 - opposite the Glej theatre), will operate according to the progressive topological principle of the »inverted sock«. Young artists from Slovenia, Poland, Portugal, Austria, Macedonia and Hungary, for whom established art practices are not entirely sufficient, will use their own content to give a deeper meaning to the streets, artistically expose the walls of surrounding houses, open the window, fill the flower boxes, surprise fire hydrants and entertain some public lamps …

»The Pocestnica gallery directly addresses everyone, especially random by-passers, for whom contemporary art practices and hermetic gallery activities are all greek «

The outdoor gallery will be using the “ready-made” principles to reinterpret concrete public space and expose existing urban compositions, landscapes, installations and artifacts. The general public will be directly involved in the debate on the purpose of public space, the relationship between skill and concept in contemporary art and its “elite” status. Individual artists will also conduct a series of short performances.

The project, which is interdisciplinary oriented will be held in co-organization with the Institute for contemporary art SCCA-Ljubljana and Studio 8, it will also conclude the “Open House in Ljubljana”, a set of workshops and seminars which will be conducted and organized by the Ljud group as part of their international program on informal artistic mobility H.O.M.E. - Houses for Open Mobility Exchange, supported by the Directorate of Culture at the European Commission.

See you there!

Israel was invaded again in August of 2009 …

The promised video report of the Israel invasions is here at last!

The invasion was part the Bat Yam street theater festival.
