Likovno delo kot koncept
Čeprav je v naslov razstave vključena beseda koncept, postavitev kot takšna nima poudarjene enotne sheme. Osnovni namen razstave je predvsem v tem, da na njej sodelujejo avtorji, ki so v svojem delovanju na likovnem področju uspeli oblikovati lasten in prepoznaven značaj s svojimi deli. Tako nam tokrat ne gre za to, da bi iskali enotno komponento, ki povezuje razstavo, ali celo slog, pač pa je ta postavljena kot obsežna instalacija, ki napolnjuje galerijo. Originalnost vsakega posameznega dela je pravzaprav tisto, kar smo iskali, ko smo oblikovali postavitev. In zanimalo nas je, kako se to lahko vključuje v odnose z ostalimi deli, ki jih prav tako opredeljuje lastna individualnost.
Do koncepta, ki ga ima razstava je tako prišlo predvsem zaradi srečevanja avtorjev, ki imajo svojo, lahko rečemo natančno opredeljeno smer v kateri delujejo. Iz njihove kakovosti, zanimivosti, pa tudi neposrednosti izhaja koncept. In čeprav smo pri razstavi upoštevali tudi naključja, ki prihajajo ob tem, ko se njihova dela neposredno srečujejo, pa njihova definirana likovna stališča nadgrajujejo razlike, ki se postavljajo med njimi.

Razstavo lahko razumemo na več načinov. Eden izmed momentov je njihova socialna govorica. Avtorji na svoje načine prepoznavajo posebnosti tega časa. Ga definirajo skladno s svojimi nazori in likovnimi izkušnjami. Njihovo vračanje v preteklost nam govori o zgodovinskem spominu, ki kot je znano ni neka izrazita posebnost našega časa. Poleg nekaterih intelektualcev, pisateljev in še kakšnih avtorjev na raznih področjih, so prav likovniki tisti, ki imajo danes možnost, da izražajo svoje nazore, pa četudi so ta v izrazitem nasprotju z mnenjem večine, ki se pusti informirati o svojih stališčih iz javnih občil. Seveda pa to še ne pomeni, da je razstava politična, za kaj takšnega ima veliko preskromna sredstva, kajti galerija ni prostor javne diskusije, pač pa predvsem razmišljanja. Raznolikost časa v katerem se nahajamo pa smo poskušali ponazoriti tudi z različnimi tehnikami, značilnimi za novejše likovne prakse s katerimi se v tem obdobju
srečujemo.

Visual artwork as a concept
Though the word concept is included in the name of the exhibition, the set up as such does not have a particularly emphasised or unified scheme. The main aim of the exhibition is primarily to present the collaboration of artists, who, in the area of visual art, have succeed to create a personal and recognizable signature in their works. So, our goal is not to find a unifying component, which might tie together the exhibition, or even a particular style, but just to set up an extensive exhibit, thereby filling the gallery. The originality of each individual work is, in essence, that element, for which we searched, and with which we created the set up. It especially interested us, how this element could be included in relation to the other already present works, which already, and quite on their own, define personal individuality. We came upon the concept, which is present in the exhibition, mainly after a meeting of the artists, all of which have a precisely defined direction in their work. It is from the quality, interest, and also directness of their work, that the concept originates. Though we also take into account coincidences, which become visible when their works come into direct contact with one another, it is their personally defined visual stance that reinforces the differences between them.

The exhibition can be understood in many different ways. One of the aspects is the social language of the individual works. In their own way, the artists are familiar with the peculiarities of the time in which we live. They define it in conjunction with their own outlooks on visual art experience. Their return to the past speaks of a historical memory, which, as we know, is not specific of our time. Today, apart from a few intelectuals, writers, and authors in different areas, visual artists in particular enjoy the possibility of expressing their outlooks, even if they are in diametrical opposition to the opinions of
a majority, which allows itself to be informed of its own opinion by means of the public media. Of course, this does not mean that the exhibition is political, as the gallery does not have the facilities for something of that nature, and is not a place for public discussion, but a place of contemplation. The diversity of the times in which we are living is something we have tried to draw attention to with different techniques, something that is characteristic for newer approaches in the visual arts, often encountered
in this time period.
