All Is Super
2020

All Is Super giant letter installation was on display in the Night Gallery Pesak in Metelkova, Ljubljana in the Summer of 2020. The opening of the exhibition also opened the 2020 Ljubljana Street Art Festival.

“All Is Super” consisted of five 165 cm tall styrofoam letters each hanged to its own window. It was a typographic exhibition that explored the possibilities of various three-dimensional effects using a display alphabet. Each letter, with its accents and shadows, was hand-drawn, cut out with a home-made laser cutter, and then painted with the effects. The final artwork consisted of multi-layered, distinctive effects in various techniques, forming an interesting multidimensional composite.

“Super” is also my nickname, so the artwork resonated with its surroundings by following the graffiti tradition of tagging (marking public spaces with a nickname). The three-dimensional creation acted as an enlarged version of Linda's signature and tag on the walls of Metelkova. In addition, in the unusual Covid times, the exhibition addressed all its visitors and conveyed the message that everything will be super.

The Night Exhibition Gallery Pešak is located in the former barracks building on Metelkova Street and Masarykova Road in Ljubljana and is part of the AKC Metelkova mesto cultural center. The gallery is constructed in the hallway on the first floor of the Pešaki building, which can be seen through five windows facing the courtyard. A special feature of the Pešak Gallery is that you cannot enter it, but can only view the exhibitions from the public space. Another special feature of the Night Exhibition Gallery Pešak is hidden in its name, as it is a night-time exhibition space.

However, as I had my exhibition there in the lightest time of the year, I wanted to make something that would be visible for the visitors day and night alike.
