Prav kakor država izvaja politiko zahodnocentričnih oblastnih elit in se zato preveša v servis velikih ekonomskih interesov, tako tudi mesto postaja predvsem servis lokalnih nosilcev ekonomske moči. Prepuščenost zasebnim interesom še zlasti degradira javni prostor, kar se v zadnjih letih vse izraziteje kaže tudi v perifernih evropskih mestih, kot je Ljubljana. Čeprav hkrati vseeno narašča zavedanje prebivalcev o pomenu mesta kot okvira za reševanje vprašanj skupnosti, mesto postaja prizorišče nekakšne vzporedne, dvojne predstave. Na eni strani smo priča uprizarjanju mesta kot spektakla, na drugi pa mesta kot prizorišča domišljije in kritičnega mišljenja.
Razstava Predstava mesta bo s historičnimi deli iz javnih in zasebnih zbirk ter s sodobno umetnostno in teoretsko produkcijo soočila oba vidika. Projekt združuje dela umetnikov, ki raziskujejo kompleksnost urbane identitete Ljubljane. Tematski razpon del sega od prevpraševanja vloge dediščine do izpostavljanja okoljskih izzivov in sprememb v urbani krajini. Umetniki se ukvarjajo z odnosom med spominom prostora in njegovimi uporabniki ter raziskujejo sledi preteklosti z metodami kartiranja, arhiviranja ali rekontekstualizacije prepoznavnih elementov urbanega okolja. Problematizirajo devastacijo javnih prostorov, neizkoriščeni potencial zapuščenih lokacij in stanovanjsko krizo kot ključne izzive sodobnega urbanega življenja.
Razstava bo kritično prikazala spremembe na področju rabe javnega prostora v Ljubljani v zadnjih letih in historično osvetlila ključne tematike, povezane s temi spremembami – od stanovanjske problematike do (infra)strukturnega nasilja.
Ali so umetniki pregovorno še vedno bolj nagnjeni k individualnim akcijam in pametnim subverzijam omejenega dometa kot k sindikalni solidarnosti, širšemu organiziranju in kolektivnemu boju? Ali kulturne ustanove zgolj razpihujejo gentrifikacijo in lajšajo njene simptome in posledice ali pa so lahko dejavne tudi na področju kritičnega obravnavanja in celo odpravljanja strukturnih vzrokov zanjo?
Cilj razstave je kritično in v historični perspektivi osvetliti aktualne težave na področju (zlo)rabe javnega prostora in pospešenih procesov gentrifikacije. Gre za pojave, ki imajo v lokalnem okviru specifično težo in potrebujejo ustrezno institucionalno (samo)kritiko. Moderna galerija je v preteklosti izvedla vrsto projektov na temo mestnih antagonizmov, tj. vidikov mesta, ki so hkrati prisotni in nevidni, marginalizirani ter zatrti. V novem kontekstu so se ti antagonizmi prelevili v brutalno krčenje javnega prostora, ki se izvaja pod ideološko krinko, zato so postali (ne)vidni na popolnoma drugačen način. Projekt skuša izpostaviti in ovrednotiti te nove načine.

Just as the state implements a policy of Western-centric elite power, thus becoming a service to large economic interests, the city also becomes primarily a service to local economic power holders. The subjugation to private interests particularly degrades the public space, which in recent years has become increasingly evident even in peripheral European cities such as Ljubljana. Although awareness among residents about the city's role as a framework for addressing community issues is nonetheless growing, the city becomes the stage for a kind of parallel, dual performance. On the one hand, we are witnessing the city being staged as a spectacle, while on the other, it is a stage for imagination and critical thinking.
The exhibition Picture (A) City will confront both of these perspectives with historical works from public and private collections, as well as contemporary art and theoretical production. The project brings together the works of artists who explore the complexity of urban identity in Ljubljana. The thematic range of the works spans from questioning the role of heritage to highlighting environmental challenges and changes in the urban landscape. The artists address the relationship between the memory of space and its users, and explore traces of the past through methods of mapping, archiving, or re-contextualizing recognizable elements of the urban environment. They problematize the devastation of public spaces, the untapped potential of abandoned locations, and the housing crisis as key challenges of contemporary urban life.
The exhibition will critically address the changes in the use of public space in Ljubljana in recent years and historically illuminate key topics related to these changes—ranging from housing issues to (infra)structural violence. Are artists still more inclined to individual actions and clever subversions of limited scope than to union solidarity, broader organising, and collective struggle? Do cultural institutions merely fuel gentrification and alleviate its symptoms and consequences, or can they also be active in critically addressing and even eliminating its structural causes?
The goal of the exhibition is to critically illuminate, from a historical perspective, current issues related to the (mis)use of public space and the accelerated processes of gentrification. These phenomena have a specific weight in the local context and require appropriate institutional (self)critique. The Moderna Gallery has previously carried out a number of projects on the theme of urban antagonisms—i.e., aspects of the city that are both present and invisible, marginalized, and suppressed. In the new context, these antagonisms have transformed into the brutal shrinking of public space, carried out under an ideological guise, and as a result, they have become (in)visible in a completely different way. The project aims to highlight and assess these new modes.
