Liminal waters
MGLC Švicarija, Pod turnom 4, Ljubljana, Slovenia
10 September 2026 – 17 January 2027
Join us at 7 p.m. on Thursday, 10 September 2026 at the Švicarija for the opening of the group exhibition Liminal Waters.
In Liminal Waters, the spaces of Švicarija and its surroundings become the site of a strange interplay of material and symbolic transmutations, out of which a different grammar of ecological thought and practice may emerge.
The participating artists create material fictions that interweave art, technology, folklore, and ideas drawn from the environmental science and philosophy. Through these, they explore our relationship with a changing environment and the accompanying imaginaries and anxieties. The project employs the methods of experimental role-play, fictional world-building, and speculative design. Through a collective process, the artists used these methods to develop the outlines of the speculative world of Liminal Waters. These now leak into the exhibition, which serves as an exercise in imagining alternative scenarios of reality in an era of ecological uncertainty
