Guided tour of the exhibition by Luka Uršič, The Gift of Failure

Failure as a point of departure for potential future success is today a key part of the artistic process. What might elsewhere be understood as an error or anomaly can become an expressive value and a space of freedom in art. With new works produced this year in the MGLC Print Studio, Luka Uršič explores the potential of his artistic practice as a reparative mechanism.

Through screenprinting interventions on the unsuccessful and discarded Polaroid photographs by others, the artist returns to the source of failure and symbolically takes on the blame and responsibility for failed actions. In this way, he confronts his own and others’ unease, while simultaneously attempting to approach the liberating possibility of redemptive correction and improvement.
