Abstract

In the context of 55th Venice Art Biennale, Jasmina Cibic transformed the interior of the Slovenian pavilion in a series of “wallpapered”
ambiances in which she exhibited still lifes from the Parliament’s art collection and two videos. She used architecture as program of
her work by carefully selecting ideologically charged architectures as settings for her videos, by drawing the content of videos on
architectural research and by using the architecture of the pavilion as an orientation device that guides the viewer and allows him/her
to construct new perspectives on art and architecture. The article attempts to situate Cibic’s work through questioning the meaning
of the setting in the context of today’s eroding ideological boundaries and shows how using architecture as program of a space
installation may elucidate the context of art.
