  • For 2016, the MAC International Ulster Bank Prize was awarded to Slovenian artist Jasmina Cibic. Her work titled Tear Down and Rebuild is the final chapter of a larger, three-chapter body of work called Spielraum, which comprises film, performance and installation works. Spielraum addresses the key elements in the creation of patriotic spectacle and investigates their re-purposing when ideology and the state that sponsored them collapse. This third and final section of the project is specifically concerned with the death of such structures. The script of Tear Down and Rebuild is composed of various quotes culled from political speeches, debates and proclamations, that muse upon the iconoclasm of architecture, art and monuments. The film itself focuses around the conversation of four characters: a Nation Builder, a Pragmatist, a Conservationist and an Artist/Architect.

BIOGRAPHY

Jasmina Cibic (b. 1979, Ljubljana, Slovenia) studied at Goldsmiths College in London and the Academia di Belle Arti in Venice, Italy. Cibic creates site-specific installations, where myth is fabricated in order to disrupt the normal flow of events. The works do not impose an authoritative narrative, but rather seek to imitate, simulate, mimic, and camouflage the surroundings. She has previously exposed aspects of the tourist industry’s functioning in her work, grappling with the crossroads of the expected and the actual, the utopia and the real.

Working between London and Ljubljana, Jasmina Cibic is one of a new generation of Slovenian artists whose practice, although acutely conscious of a specific national political, cultural and artistic lineage creates a very distinctive language of its own. Her work is site and context specific, performative in nature and employs a range of activity, media and theatrical tactics to redefine or reconsider an existent environment and its politics. The basic gesture in Cibic’s artistic explorations is the dismantlement and careful analysis of the work of art, its representation, and its relationship to the viewer: she tries to operate inside the system she is investigating. The mechanisms and structures of the system thus often become integral parts of the practice, allowing the work to transcend the plane of art and the language of form. Because of their traversal of different structures and systems, her projects often feel like Gesamtkunstwerke and include variations of delegated creations of artistic objects and spaces and combine the work of architects, scientists, other specialists and craftsmen, as well as factory- made products, all chosen for some specific contextual or historical significance.

London based Slovenian artist Jasmina Cibic represented Slovenia at the 55th Venice Biennial with her project “For Our Economy and Culture”.
