*ŠPELA PETRIČ: ‘Confronting Vegetal Otherness: Skotopoiesis’*

Skotopoiesis is the first performance from the series 
attempting plant-human intercognition. In this durational 
piece the artist and germinating cress face each other, 
illuminated by a light projection. The biosemiosis occurs 
through the obstruction of light; the artist’s shadow 
contributes to the etiolation of the cress (yellowing, 
lengthening), while the time she stands arrested to achieve 
this effect results in the shrinkage of the artist, making 
visible the effort of this cross-species encounter.

The performance will be followed by a discussion with ethics 
committee.

Schedule:
Performance: 10 Sept, 2015, 12 am-12 pm and 11 Sept 10 am – 5 pm
Panel discussion: 11 Sept, 2015, 6-8pm

Location:
Kapelica Gallery
Kersnikova 4
SI-1000 Ljubljana

The event is produced by Kapelica Gallery and supported by 
funding from Creative Europe, Ministry of Culture of the 
Republic of Slovenia, Municipality of Ljubljana.

Interview by Annick Bureaud, on April 19th 2015 in London

Martin O'Brien is an artist and theorist.
He received Arts & Humanities Research Council (AHRC) 
funding for his PhD at the University of Reading and he has 
contributed to several books.
Martin O’Brien’s live art practice uses physical endurance, 
disgust and pain-based practices to explore the meaning of 
being born with a life threatening disease (cystic fibrosis) 
by confronting others’ responses to illness.
His performance work has been presented throughout the UK, 
Europe and the US.

Interview by Annick Bureaud, on April 19th 2015 in London

Since 2013, Jareh Das has been working with The Arts 
Catalyst as an Arts Humanities Research Council funded Ph.D 
student in Curating Art and Science, partnered with the 
Geography department of Royal Holloway, University of London.
Das's doctoral research focuses on performing bodies, 
audience witnessing, and pain-based practices used by 
artists. It considers performances that resists clear 
categorisations i.e. focusing on live works that operate at 
the intersections of 'art and science' encompassing the 
medical, cultural and social.


The project ‘Trust Me, I’m an Artist: Developing ethical 
frameworks for artists, cultural institutions and audiences 
engaged in the challenges of creating and experiencing new 
art forms in biotechnology and biomedicine in Europe’ is led 
by artist Anna Dumitriu in collaboration with ethicist 
Professor Bobbie Farsides. The project is run by Waag 
Society in collaboration with Brighton and Sussex Medical 
School, The Arts Catalyst, Ciant, Kapelica Gallery / 
Kersnikova, Medical Museion, Capsula and Leonardo Olats.
