                    KRACINA & SAŠO KALAN: Drilling


Damijan Kracina & Sašo Kalan had their first joint project one year ago with the realisation of a ballet performance "33 obratov" where they successfully joined and intertwined set design, video, lighting and sound. The performance included wonderful spinning ballerinas that were dancing so close to the audience you could almost touch them. Damijan Kracina & Sašo Kalan with this setting in the Vžigalica gallery are trying to spin the whole space of the gallery into a wild whirl of light and sound and pull everything inside into it, including the visitors, sculptures and video, so that everything becomes a spasmodically pulsating body.

 

Damijan Kracina (1970) is an academic sculptor. In 1999 he received his MA in video and sculpture at the ALUO in Ljubljana. He has prepared a series of solo exhibitions and taken part in many group exhibitions and international residencies. He's a member of Društvo za domače raziskave (Domestic research association) and he's also the winner of CEC ArtsLink award for independent projects in 2003. He operates in the fields of sculpture and intermedia arts.

 

Sašo Kalan (1974, Montreal) lived a few years in Ljubljana and then moved to Vienna, where he finished the study of sound design. Currently he works in Ljubljana as an independent artist and within the institution Sonolab. He's involved in the composition of music for theatre and dance, electronic music production and realization of sound installations. Among other things he created the integrated sound image of the Slovenian pavilion at the Biennale of Architecture in Venice in 2010, original music for the ballet choreography Neverlanding (SNG Opera in balet Ljubljana) and the composition for the sound sculpture in collaboration with Marko Kovačič (exhibition 9+9, MGLC). His specific attitude towards sound enables him to successfully collaborate and create in different fields of art. He's interested in sound landscapes, recycling of sound, sound archives and sound as a part of the wider social environment.
