The personal aspect of involving oneself in artistic practice is always being shaped also through the collective one. And since especially in a simultaneous group activity such as improvisation the opposite is true as well, the two can’t be thought about separately.

This is the presumption on which the festival Personal – Collective, now running for the third year, is founded upon.

The initiator of the festival is Seijiro Murayama, the Japanese percussionist currently residing in Berlin, who in the recent years has frequently performed locally with Slovenian and foreign artists (Tomaž Grom, N’Toko, Marko Karlovčec, Martin Küchen, Renato Rinaldi, Enrico Malatesta…).

KUD MREŽA/Metelkova mesto presents:

The personal aspect of involving oneself in artistic practice is always being shaped also through the collective one. And since especially in a simultaneous group activity such as improvisation the opposite is true as well, the two can't be thought about separately.

This is the presumption on which the festival Personal – Collective, now running for the second year, is founded upon. Its main purpose on one side is the interweaving of the “personal” and the “collective” artistic practice, but also artistic genres on the other. Alongside improvising musicians this time there will also be participants coming from the fields of painting, visual arts, dance, performance, theatre and sound art.

The two day event will bring together twenty-one artists from various European countries. They will perform as solo artists, in prearranged formations and combinations put together on the spot. There will also be some special events during the festival: a duo performance by Jean-Luc Guionnet & Seijiro Murayama, solo sets by Eric Cordier and Annette Krebs and a lecture by Jean-Luc Guionnet about the architecture of listening (in co-organization with the Series of sound events and lectures Bitshift / Kapelica Gallery).

The initiator of the festival is Seijiro Murayama, the Japanese percussionist currently residing in Paris, who in the recent years has frequently performed locally with Slovenian and foreign artists (Tomaž Grom, N'Toko, Marko Karlovčec, Martin Küchen, Renato Rinaldi, Enrico Malatesta...).
