Pravdoliub Ivanov, ‘There Are No Forbidden Thoughts’, 2007
ARC Projects presents Thoughts Within Thoughts - the third curated exhibition in our new gallery space in Sofia. Thoughts Within Thoughts is a double solo show by artists Alec Finlay and Pravdoliub Ivanov. The exhibition investigates artistic collaboration, cognition, play, dialogue and subtle irony through a series of new works by Finlay and Ivanov, some made in collaboration: sculptures, wall drawings, neon and print installations, and live performances all feature. The title encapsulates both artists’ passion for philosophical investigations of logic, absurdity, and language.
21 June - 26 July 2008
Exhibition open Wednesday - Saturday, 3 - 8 pm

Primary Ingredients at Threshold artspace

Primary Ingredients
curated by Iliyana Nedkova
Threshold artspace
Perth Concert Hall, Horsecross, Mill Street, Perth
21 May - 31 August 2008
This summer, Horsecross presents Primary Ingredients, a major new exhibition at Threshold artspace which premieres five new commissions by Vuk Cosic, Alec Finlay, Clive Gillman, Katja Loher and Valentin Stefanoff showing alongside works by Perry Bard and Krassimir Terziev in the context of twelve works drawn from the Horsecross collection. Featured are sixteen artists from nine countries who employ text – anything from letters and symbols, poems and stories to books and films – as primary ingredients in their visual grammar. Their works allow us to go beyond the omnipresent debate whether text gives artists the opportunity to be more direct than they usually are with images. A fresh opportunity to test our assumptions that words have cognitive primacy in the brain of the viewer.
Artists from the Horsecross collection of contemporary media art featured include Claude Closky, Lei Cox, Dan Perjovschi, Janek Schaefer, Thomson & Craighead and Mare Tralla.

Lala Rascic in Edinburgh and Perth
July 28, 2007 at 7:59 pm in News Comments Off
Lala Rascic is based between Edinburgh and Perth during Summer 2007, creating new process-based work as part of the Edinburgh Art Festival. The artist is creating artefacts and documentation which are presented via the ARC Projects web site, and evolving over the period of the residency for later exhibition in a gallery setting. Lala is keeping a journal of her residency in the form of a blog. You can read Lala’s blog here. Lala Rascic’s work draws upon the aesthetics of old time radio plays where the performative act is the basis of assuming different identities. The artist often acts out multiple roles while playing with realities and developing fictituous narratives in her projects.
The residency is being hosted in collaboration with Threshold artspace, Perth; Edinburgh Art Festival; co-funded by the Scottish Arts Council; ARC Projects; Croatian Ministry of Culture. Elements from the work created during the residency will feature in a show later this year at Threshold artspace, Perth.
Lala Rascic was born in Sarajevo in 1977. She lives and works in Amsterdam and Zagreb. Recently, Rascic has exhibited at The Young Artists’ Biennial, Bucharest; The Kitchen, New York; Overtones Gallery, Los Angeles; and Platform Garanti Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul. Forthcoming this year is her solo exhibition at the National Art Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo.
