Khaos Kolektiv is pleased to announce the opening of Julia Stura’s exhibition ‘tijelo ··· prostor‘ [eng. body ··· space] on February 12 at Funk Club. Part of the KHAOS in Funk! program, which we have previously discussed, the exhibition will be open to visitors until February 26.

The grand opening will take place at 8 PM at Funk Club, a well-known gathering spot for electronic music enthusiasts.
“The spaces in Julia Stura’s work are not abstract. They are rooted in reality – poetic, uncanny spaces that expand their horizons and embrace their dreams to engage in dialogue with the multitude they contain.
Body and space are often treated as one. In some works, this relationship is explored more radically through a heterotopic lens: the body becomes an integral part of space – another space within a space, a world within a world. This is evident in pieces where the body parallels space, or where space itself is envisioned as the body’s dream.
Though Stura’s spaces intersect, merge, and diverge, there is no conflict between them. Heterotopias exist in harmony, with each space referencing or dreaming of others within it. Hands and bodies travel through meadows, seas, galaxies, and forests – through images. Space explores itself, engaging in a dialogical play with its possibilities, its collapses, and its potentials.“
This reflection on the exhibition was written by dramaturge and Khaos Kolektiv member Patrik Gregurec.
