projekta.En: Mateja was the project leader.Sl: Vedno je želela vključiti lokalno kulturo v svoja dela.En: She always wanted to incorporate local culture into her work.Sl: Toda danes ni našla sveže ideje.En: But today, she couldn't find a fresh idea.Sl: Vse se ji je zdelo preveč znano.En: Everything seemed too familiar to her.Sl: Hodila je od stojnice do stojnice, vendar ji nič ni prišlo na misel.En: She walked from stall to stall, but nothing came to mind.Sl: Klemen je zvesto stopal ob njej.En: Klemen faithfully walked beside her.Sl: Njegov um je bil poln zamisli, vendar jih ni nikoli glasno izrazil.En: His mind was full of ideas, but he never expressed them aloud.Sl: Občudoval je Matejino kreativnost, a je hrepenel po tem, da bi tudi sam vodil projekt.En: He admired Mateja's creativity but longed to lead a project himself.Sl: "Vzemiva si odmor," je predlagala Mateja, saj je postala frustrirana zaradi kreativne blokade.En: "Let's take a break," suggested Mateja, as she became frustrated by her creative block.Sl: Sedla sta na rob stojnice, kjer so cvetele tulipani, in opazovala ljudi.En: They sat at the edge of a stall where tulips bloomed and watched the people.Sl: Klemen je vedel, da je pravi čas, da spregovori.En: Klemen knew it was the right time to speak up.Sl: "Mateja," je začel previdno, "imam morda idejo.En: "Mateja," he began cautiously, "I might have an idea.Sl: Kaj če bi združila tradicijo praznovanja spomladanskega enakonočja s sodobno umetnostjo?En: What if we combined the tradition of celebrating the spring equinox with modern art?Sl: Morda bi lahko izdelala instalacijo, ki bi simbolizirala ravnotežje narave in kreativnosti.En: Maybe we could create an installation that symbolizes the balance of nature and creativity."Sl: "Mateja je prenehala strmjeti v množico in se ozrla k njemu.En: Mateja stopped staring at the crowd and looked at him.Sl: Klemenove oči so zasijale z navdušenjem.En: Klemen's eyes shone with excitement.Sl: Njena radovednost je bila prebudjena.En: Her curiosity was awakened.Sl: "Povej več," ga je spodbudila.En: "Tell me more," she encouraged him.Sl: Klemenovo srce je zaigralo.En: Klemen's heart leapt.Sl: Pojasnil je, kako bi lahko uporabila raznobarvne trakove, cvetlice ter naravne materiale, da bi ustvarila velik lok, ki bi predstavljal prehod iz zime v pomlad.En: He explained how they could use colorful ribbons, flowers, and natural materials to create a large arch representing the transition from winter to spring.Sl: Mateja je bila očarana.En: Mateja was enchanted.Sl: Njegova ideja ji je dala točno tisto ravnotežje kreativnosti in kulturnega pomena, ki ga je iskala.En: His idea gave her exactly the balance of creativity and cultural significance she was seeking.Sl: Sklenila sta roke, kot znak dogovora.En: They clasped hands as a sign of agreement.Sl: Združila bosta svoji moči in talent.En: They would combine their strengths and talents.Sl: V naslednjih dneh sta trdo delala.En: In the following days, they worked hard.Sl: Mateja je brez pridržkov vključevala Klemenove zamisli.En: Mateja incorporated Klemen's ideas without hesitation.Sl: Skupaj sta ustvarila osupljivo instalacijo.En: Together, they created a stunning installation.Sl: Na dan festivala je umetnina pritegnila oči vseh obiskovalcev.En: On the day of the festival, the artwork caught the eyes of all the visitors.Sl: Bilo je, kot da bi pomlad sama objela mesto.En: It was as if spring itself embraced the city.Sl: Ljudje so ju pohvalili, njuni sodelavci so bili polni občudovanja.En: People praised them, and their colleagues were full of admiration.Sl: Mateja je spoznala, kako pomembna je vrednost sodelovanja in poslušanja različnih perspektiv.En: Mateja realized the importance of collaboration and listening to different perspectives.Sl: Klemen pa je pridobil samozavest in začel bolj pogumno izražati svoje kreativne ideje.En: Klemen gained confidence and began to express his creative ideas more boldly.Sl: Ko se je dan nagibal v noč, je Klemen pogledal Matejo in rekel, "Hvala, da si prisluhnila.En: As the day turned into night, Klemen looked at Mateja and said, "Thank you for listening."Sl: " Mateja se je nasmehnila in odgovorila, "Hvala tebi, da si spregovoril.En: Mateja smiled and replied, "Thank you for speaking up."Sl: " Njune ideje so se prepletale in ustvarile čudovit svet, v katerega so se obiskovalci z veseljem potopili.En: Their ideas intertwined and created a wonderful world into which visitors gladly immersed themselves.Sl: Tako sta Mateja in Klemen skupaj pisala novo zgodbo kreativnega izraza.En: Thus, Mateja and Klemen together wrote a new tale of creative expression.

Slovenian Pavilion at the 53 International Art Exhibition - La Biennale di VeneziaLa Biennale di Venezia radioCona, http://www.cona.si/radio Miha Štrukelj x=0 / y=0 Interference in Process At the Venice Biennale Slovenia will be represented by a project from Miha Štrukelj, conceived as a total artwork and based on four thematic levels and media: painting, wall drawing, drawing and Lego picture. The exhibition deconstructs the picture plane with the aid of the grid as a structural and conceptual basis, where the painting is deconstructed and reconstituted through the disillusioned gaze of the subject. The themes of Štrukelj's artistic practice arise from a fascination with media-manipulated images and expand into the iconography of anonymous urban topography, and the isolated, quiet presence of the human figure. This approach is reflected in all the work, with the exception of the Lego-picture which portrays natural landscapes, a rare motif in Štrukelj's work.more: http://www.slovenianpavilion.comThis podcast is created in collaboration and co-production with RAM: http://www.radioartemobile.it/in the frame Learning Slovenian Lawrence Squire My Slovene learning journey Random Logic - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, www.cona.si Random Logic alias Gregor Zemljic & Miha Klemencic are the longest established artists of the Slovene electronic music scene. They have also written music for major and alternative theatre, ballet and experimental art performances (they are collaborating extensively with the artist Marko Peljhan on his multimedia projects) and also for films. In the year 2000 they were awarded the Studio City Boomerang Award (alternative Slovenian music awards) for the best live techno act in Slovenia and recently they won 1st prize at The 2002 RFI (Radio France International) Musiques Electroniques Award for the best electronic project in Central and Eastern Europe. Borut Kržišnik - for project 7 Composers produced by radioCona, 2008 radioCona, http://www.cona.si Borut Krzisnik is a Slovenian composer of contemporary music, based in Ljubljana. He was born in Zagreb in 1961. Born into a family of diplomats, he moved frequently during his childhood, both within former Yugoslavia and abroad, before finally settling in Ljubljana. Living among different nationalities and experiencing different mentalities helped form his understanding of diversity, something which certainly contributed to his broad approach to music. He played piano as a child, eventually switching to guitar and building up his unique way of composing. He graduated in Psychology from the University of Ljubljana, but soon afterwards devoted himself to music. He released five albums: SACRE DU TEMPS (Station Zuid, 2007), A LIFE IN SUITCASES (First Name Soundtracks, 2006), STORIES FROM MAGATREA (KUD France Preseren, US's release: Falcata-Galia Recordings, 1999), CURRENTS OF TIME (Recommended Records, London, 1991; re-release: Tone Casualties, Hollywood, 1998) and LA DOLCE VITA (FV, Lju
