Program Description: Project Soft Sculpture – Hard Thoughts promotes specific sculptural expression when artists use atypical materials to create sculptures and installations. The material is not only a way for creating sculptural forms, but it is the language that provides personal visions and thoughts. Through opposition – contrary to the softness of the material, it emphasizes the context of art work. Difficult times bring heavy thoughts. What happens when patience betrays us and when we desperately trying to change the current position and move from a standstill. What kind of attempts we do to break the deadlock. During exhibition it will be organized art workshop and public presentation of participating artists.
