Magazine is a showcase magazine dedicated to presenting emerging art from the Baltics to the Balkans. The international magazine ETC. is designed to bring together artists, curators, writers and publishers who work in the field of contemporary art. As the magazine is focused on a different social / environmental / political issue in each publication, it is designed to be a platform for diverse voices and opinions from all over Europe, contributing to a wider understanding of a certain issue and the recontextualisation of a border-defined narrative. Today more than ever, there is a need to start a dialogue and begin open conversations. By building a network of young critical minds from completely different backgrounds, the magazine aims to do just that. Our team consists of Slovenian curators and gallerists from different creative fields: Galerija Fotografija gallery, Ravnikar Gallery Space, DobraVaga and Look Back and Laugh publishing house. The magazine, published once a year, presents young emerging artists from Slovenia and abroad through a different relevant topic chosen each time. The aim of the magazine is to create a medium for showcasing current international and local artistic production and contributing to a better connection between Slovenian contemporary art and the wider international art scene, with the goal of establishing a common space in the field of emerging arts in Europe.&nbsp; The magazine contains sections such as an Interview with an invited artist, curator or theorist who can present their perspective on the chosen topic, a Studio Visit that focuses on a selected artist whose practice is strongly informed by the theme of each magazine, an Opinion section that invites people from different fields to reflect on the chosen theme of the magazine, thus expanding the plurality of opinions; and Artist books, a section dedicated to presenting current production in the field of art publishing. The most comprehensive section, Portfolio Showcase, is presenting selected artworks and projects in detail and is based on the portfolio format, consisting of a visual presentation and short descriptions of individual projects.

spineEnglish (booklet with Slovenian translations is included) ABOUT&nbsp; In the first issue of the ETC. Magazine we are concerned with all things locally significant. We are interested in artistic practices that pay attention to the local environment as a point of departure of artistic expression. Practices that look into the local as opposed to the global while remaining open to the possibility that such an opposition might no longer be relevant or could even be impossible. How can we still remain locally specific and what else do we speak about when we speak about our immediate environment and its specifics? Is the local present in tradition and reviving or rethinking of forgotten practices, habits and customs? How can local environment define an individual, define one's identity and what may be the fate of this identity in a foreign land? How to talk about the local in the digital era? Even when it comes to isolated cells formed by the social media we can talk about specific localities and domestication of the internet. And why after all that must we be concerned whether or not we are eating locally produced food?

Under the title Fever Dream, it explores all the ways in which these feelings culminate in artistic projects, be it in visions of a dystopian future, uncanny depictions of the everyday or startling mergings of AI and humanity. Why do certain images make us uncomfortable? How can we begin to visualise the discomfort of our time? How to capture the absurdity and anxiety of media space and current events to make sense of what often feels like a feverish dream? Where do criticism and humour collide in the nonsense that surrounds us? How does aesthetics enter the discourse of horror and why does the eerie attract us? Does it make more sense to try to envision the atmosphere of the times without attempting to interpret or explain them? And if we try to explain them - where to begin? Artists are frequently employing stories and fictional narratives of dystopias/utopias to make sense of the zeitgeist. In the second issue of ETC., we are exploring whether these elements of the monstrous, weird, horrific or abject can be used to reflect the time we live in, whether we use them to respond to societal constraints and what the use of these elements tells us about the way we deal with our environment today.

with Slovenian translations is included) March 2024&nbsp; ABOUT The third issue of ETC. magazine dedicates its pages to the grind, the hustle, the hard workers and the hardly working. Under the title Selling Out, it deals with our current conditions of wage labour, precarious forms of employment, self-actualisation through work and the ever-present struggle to get that bread. Is living for work a neoliberal delusion or a triumph of capitalism? Can we truly reclaim our time and if so, where do we begin? How does our state of constant emergency manifest itself and who profits? Can art address these issues or does it perpetuate the cycle of exploitation? Is exhaustion the new normal and have we accepted self-medicating as a coping mechanism? Are we burning out or quiet quitting? Is unemployment a mode of rebellion and is there relief in boredom? Does creating a personal brand liberate or enslave – and is TikTok the new corpo? Is freelancing really “free” or should we rethink the word? Is there such a thing as having too many jobs? And why did Kim Kardashian say “It seems like nobody wants to work these days”? For this issue, we’re testing theories behind modes of working and not-working, asking whether being chronically overworked and underpaid is a point of no return or a call to action and whether selling out means beating the system or becoming its agent.

with Slovenian translations is included) April 2025&nbsp; ABOUT Under the title Comfort Zone, the fourth issue of ETC. magazine explores all the ways in which we understand comfort and safety as they translate into our ideas of family, love, friendship and community. We’re interested in the myriad ways kinship is formed in families both biological and chosen. From open relationships to throuples, how has the relationship unit changed and what kind of dilemmas does it open? Despite the effort toward body positivity, how difficult is it to feel comfortable in one’s own skin? When homes are lost and communities displaced, how can a zone of comfort be made anew? In parallel to the sphere of human relationships, comfort is packaged and sold, commodified to push products and promised to us in the forms of period pads, streaming platforms and comfort foods. Is materialism an acceptable refuge or is it paralysing us into Wall-E’s post-apocalyptic space humans? Are we not comfortable enough or too much so for our own good? In this issue, we seek to explore comfort and care as struggles for physical, sexual and emotional liberation, as well as the often dangerous consequences of retreating into our comfort zones.

In the context of the Balkans, specifically former Yugoslavia, a region marked by shared histories and divergent narratives, language can both include and exclude. Through the concept of “false friends”, words that appear similar but differ in meaning, this exhibition explores how identity, politics, and cultural memory echo in the language we use, and vice versa. Simply put, we often speak of what we believe are the same notions, not realising we understand them differently. These deceptively familiar terms thus become symbols of regional complexities, miscommunications, and broader cultural and historical tensions. <img width="3543" height="2362" width_o="3543" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7201d0bf500ba3538774cf12aa4e789e9247f3365a138f28665003f3df8bd1c3/kudlacek_petro_2.jpg" data-mid="239832851" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7201d0bf500ba3538774cf12aa4e789e9247f3365a138f28665003f3df8bd1c3/kudlacek_petro_2.jpg" /> <img width="3543" height="2362" width_o="3543" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/67d8ea260a58df4da56c415dd1aa2da75bf0c5cf6443b3c2d35bb921d9900cf5/kudlacek_petro_4.jpg" data-mid="239833774" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/67d8ea260a58df4da56c415dd1aa2da75bf0c5cf6443b3c2d35bb921d9900cf5/kudlacek_petro_4.jpg" /> Eva Bevec’s projects, Yugonostalgia and In Search for Yugoslavia, explore the phenomenon of longing for a country that no longer exists. Through archival images and memorabilia, she explores both the unity it represented and the social values it embraced and promoted. For Bevec, the centre of the work revolves around the role of memory and sentimentality in understanding a political project and lived experience she herself has never had. Born in the aftermath of Yugoslavia’s disintegration and into a different political system, she and her peers find that much has been lost in the transition. Unlike their parents and grandparents, the generations born in the nineties suddenly found themselves in a new, capitalist system, where previously unalienable rights proved to be precarious and standing up for the common good is a daily struggle. <img width="2362" height="3543" width_o="2362" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f7caa86b986cc6ec964c788012e19c50d15e17154903f98bd71c8af1cef91759/kudlacek_petro_14.jpg" data-mid="239833072" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f7caa86b986cc6ec964c788012e19c50d15e17154903f98bd71c8af1cef91759/kudlacek_petro_14.jpg" /> In the work of Saša Tatić, the wake of a new post-Yugoslav reality is reflected in migration – something she, along with many other Bosnians (both those who left and those who stayed), has personally experienced. These comings and goings make for a shared experience of impermanence, of constant returning but never remaining. The bitter-sweet ideas of home and togetherness become something that constantly changes, as well as a source for misunderstandings in communicating both sides of the migrant experience. Her series of quotes and phrases often used in the Balkans reflects these conflicting emotions and expectations, as well as comments on language as something that has the potential to both ground and uproot. <img width="3543" height="2363" width_o="3543" height_o="2363" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1f29f27ebeaef6f203b6c17b89528c265b021dd01ebad5f199d65d6f238fde5d/kudlacek_petro_1.jpg" data-mid="239832850" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1f29f27ebeaef6f203b6c17b89528c265b021dd01ebad5f199d65d6f238fde5d/kudlacek_petro_1.jpg" /> <img width="2362" height="3544" width_o="2362" height_o="3544" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1e5ddde349764d660c571e11c932969acdc5ef83af42271bfe7e748857cdab3e/kudlacek_petro_5.jpg" data-mid="239833046" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1e5ddde349764d660c571e11c932969acdc5ef83af42271bfe7e748857cdab3e/kudlacek_petro_5.jpg" /> <img width="2362" height="3544" width_o="2362" height_o="3544" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5da8ae0d6fc5b8eb9b9af1c497146254818de33ebeea0cf4ccc2fc9001a0f128/kudlacek_petro_6.jpg" data-mid="239833053" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5da8ae0d6fc5b8eb9b9af1c497146254818de33ebeea0cf4ccc2fc9001a0f128/kudlacek_petro_6.jpg" /> <img width="3543" height="2362" width_o="3543" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7be3586bfc31d28fd5bddaf7859269379aada4b29c02d04885bdc5ba9bbdef33/kudlacek_petro_9.jpg" data-mid="239832856" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7be3586bfc31d28fd5bddaf7859269379aada4b29c02d04885bdc5ba9bbdef33/kudlacek_petro_9.jpg" /> <img width="2362" height="3543" width_o="2362" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b74d36778c382a7b4ac097edbac3b7cbe5034b693f56410e5990019d64799206/kudlacek_petro_12.jpg" data-mid="239833068" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b74d36778c382a7b4ac097edbac3b7cbe5034b693f56410e5990019d64799206/kudlacek_petro_12.jpg" /> For Jaka Teršek, the meaning of home is shaped less by geography than by the cultural environment to which one belongs – or ceases to belong – to. In his project, he revisits the places tied to his childhood memories in eastern Slovenia. The photographs he takes of once familiar places are partly recollections, partly reinterpretations, connecting images with stories, superstitions and accounts of local life. By attempting to observe a once-familiar environment objectively, he creates a kind of bridge between the past and the present, weaving together a distant and more immediate perception of a personal geography, one rooted in fact as well as fiction. <img width="3543" height="2362" width_o="3543" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/953847fded155ef98b553d704b1fa98950c7dae2ef947673aada3b3553a329a0/kudlacek_petro_18.jpg" data-mid="239833093" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/953847fded155ef98b553d704b1fa98950c7dae2ef947673aada3b3553a329a0/kudlacek_petro_18.jpg" /> Similarly, Sara Perović connects the past and the present with a simple image of a tennis player’s legs – a personal deep-dive into a family archive that simultaneously becomes a cultural exploration. Her mother fell in love with her father because of his legs, she told her. This intimate detail made her focus on the legs of tennis players – primarily her dad’s in family photographs from the 1980s Pula, but then multiplying the motif in the present day, recreating the movements with her own partner. Repeating the memory and recreating the context becomes an obsession, an intimate ritual of reconciling the past with the present experience. In this way, the simple motif of male legs becomes a carrier of multiple meanings, exploring her heritage, her current relationships and her status as a photographer objectifying the subject. Her memory thus becomes part of a wider whole, at once personal and objective.&nbsp; <img width="3543" height="2363" width_o="3543" height_o="2363" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a731e19e334238eda07263fa2f75ff4842eeebc3db23f9e18ba11f6825a89ffe/kudlacek_petro_17.jpg" data-mid="239833103" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a731e19e334238eda07263fa2f75ff4842eeebc3db23f9e18ba11f6825a89ffe/kudlacek_petro_17.jpg" /> <img width="2362" height="3544" width_o="2362" height_o="3544" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f75e60934d225f573c0dc042341f2f305bf59948bb58d4db6f537d459be6ea7b/kudlacek_petro_16.jpg" data-mid="239833108" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f75e60934d225f573c0dc042341f2f305bf59948bb58d4db6f537d459be6ea7b/kudlacek_petro_16.jpg" /> <img width="2362" height="3543" width_o="2362" height_o="3543" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/52ab9c1063afe29b23801f284b0a55994ed0ce4b2e0d25aab4ec98b9b636c4b7/kudlacek_petro_8.jpg" data-mid="239833144" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/52ab9c1063afe29b23801f284b0a55994ed0ce4b2e0d25aab4ec98b9b636c4b7/kudlacek_petro_8.jpg" /> <img width="3543" height="2362" width_o="3543" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4e9176352e153cb2580ed9243cf6e0a0e50a2bd1958010f9872419058d226616/kudlacek_petro_10.jpg" data-mid="239833429" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4e9176352e153cb2580ed9243cf6e0a0e50a2bd1958010f9872419058d226616/kudlacek_petro_10.jpg" /> Through the metaphor of false friends, the exhibition investigates how language and image interact, interchange, and convey meaning on multiple levels. Whether through political discourse, everyday speech, or inherited idioms, both language and images act as mechanisms of power, while also framing and (re)shaping our innermost understanding of the world. Artists reflect on how language is internalised, how meanings shift across borders, and how the passing of time can challenge once-fixed narratives. In doing so, the exhibition is a meditation on how we speak about identity and memory, and how words and ideas – at once shared and misunderstood – shape our place within a contested past and a shifting present. <img width="3543" height="2362" width_o="3543" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbbbaaf33f081a106885aa6cf16cd0e162dee55baf76d3de339893e2e3e0d7d1/kudlacek_petro_3.jpg" data-mid="239832813" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbbbaaf33f081a106885aa6cf16cd0e162dee55baf76d3de339893e2e3e0d7d1/kudlacek_petro_3.jpg" /><img width="3543" height="2362" width_o="3543" height_o="2362" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbe835fc507f99e9038f4455a42f4b47575bccb1ea13ad330f99c4ebc99579c2/kudlacek_petro_13.jpg" data-mid="239833775" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbe835fc507f99e9038f4455a42f4b47575bccb1ea13ad330f99c4ebc99579c2/kudlacek_petro_13.jpg" /> Curated by: ETC.

We don’t know who you are, or where you are or how to call you. For us, there is something comforting in not knowing what you are doing; we hope it’s the same for you. These recordings are part of an exhibition called Comfort Zone, which was curated by the team behind ETC. Magazine. The exhibition, much like the magazine it is based on, deals with all the ways in which we understand comfort and safety as they translate into our ideas of family, love, friendship and community. Contrary to the neoliberal notion that we must shed our comfort zones at all costs, we believe that seeking out comfort can be an act of resistance. We’ve asked the artists whose work is presented in the magazine to think of when and where they feel most comfortable, what being comfortable in the public space might feel like and what public spaces should be like to accommodate us better. We’ve asked them to answer in the form of a story, anecdote, or impression that would help us understand what comfort means to each of them as they navigate the world around them. We gathered their stories as voice notes and combined them into three walks. One through the city streets, one by the river that flows through it and one in the city park. If you wish, you can listen to them anywhere or anytime you feel like thinking about comfort. Perhaps to help you get into your own comfort zone or to comfort yourself. <img width="3094" height="1688" width_o="3094" height_o="1688" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/271bb9479c70894b65b9b1057579693eeb0321d595f7ab2e10a32a41dbba05d1/ETC-VOICE-NOTES.jpg" data-mid="233449163" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/271bb9479c70894b65b9b1057579693eeb0321d595f7ab2e10a32a41dbba05d1/ETC-VOICE-NOTES.jpg" /> <img width="3094" height="1688" width_o="3094" height_o="1688" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9218a9dba32c4323b625ea803ed241f23483384f3d0a7438f3995d17ebc32cbb/ETC-VOICE-NOTES2.jpg" data-mid="233449164" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9218a9dba32c4323b625ea803ed241f23483384f3d0a7438f3995d17ebc32cbb/ETC-VOICE-NOTES2.jpg" /> <img width="3094" height="1688" width_o="3094" height_o="1688" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7163ad5a85ed4efdf3893099e52c5663880c2052c79e5fdd0f57438abebeeecc/ETC-VOICE-NOTES3.jpg" data-mid="233449165" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7163ad5a85ed4efdf3893099e52c5663880c2052c79e5fdd0f57438abebeeecc/ETC-VOICE-NOTES3.jpg" /> <img width="3094" height="1688" width_o="3094" height_o="1688" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3966d87a7cb4e5235bfcd6bb65ae3548e385adab478e99b3ae9b9bf5064e0b8b/ETC-VOICE-NOTES4.jpg" data-mid="233449166" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3966d87a7cb4e5235bfcd6bb65ae3548e385adab478e99b3ae9b9bf5064e0b8b/ETC-VOICE-NOTES4.jpg" /> Disclaimer: If you are unable to listen to the audio, a full transcript is available in PDF format for each walk.
