In addition to the main exhibition programme, the biennial invites you to visit online artist talks and a symposium on textile heritage and sustainable approaches, as well as workshops and walks. Guided tours of exhibitions of textiles, interior design, video and interdisciplinary projects are exchanging in the biennial programme by sound walks along the Sava.<\/p>\n<p>Water, water bodies, especially rivers, and natural heritage are one of the thematic clusters of the biennial. In the artworks we observe the free flows of water, its falls and force, the reflections and movements it triggers. Protected flora and fauna, the Sava and Kokra, memories and stories of people living along rivers and streams also find their place in the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>Urban fabric, squares, streets and bridges, birthplaces and places where we create meanings represent another thematic cluster. The works look for inspiration in their memories of certain places, and a special place at the biennial is given to Kranj and its architectural features, such as the Kranj underground tunnels, which became the inspiration for a series of lights.<\/p>\n<p>The thematic cluster Suffocation awaits us with masks, limitations and a new normality with a selection of a video programme that will take visitors into the world of imaginary beings. The masks are confronted in a humorous way by the Icelandic artist \u00ddr\u00farar\u00ed, who we will also get to know through a live broadcast of the online artist talk. The programme of online artist talks will also feature one of the most recognizable Dutch contemporary artists, Rob Scholte, and Canadian textile and visual artist Tina Struthers. With her works at the biennial, Polish artist Dominika Krogulska-Czekalska draws attention to abuses of women&#8217;s rights and the LGBTQ + community, creating works that are textile banners in response to Polish protests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>BIEN 2021 artists, collectives and student projects:<\/strong><br>Eta Sadar Breznik, Dominika Krogulska-Czekalska, \u00ddr\u00farar\u00ed, Rob Scholte, Ida Bla\u017ei\u010dko, Tina Struthers, Katarina Spacal, Elena Fajt, Lavoslava Ben\u010di\u010d and Nejc Stupan, Diana Ammann, Lara Blanchard, Threadstories, Paola Idrontino, Den\u00eds Galocha and Cristina Barrientos, Anja Podreka, pH15, Contemporary textile hub Kreativnice, Mateja Gole\u017e, Darja Rant, Marija Jenko, Anja Jer\u010di\u010d Jakob, Ula Pogorev\u010dnik, Alenka More, Arijana Gad\u017eijev, Darja Miklau\u017ei\u010d, Nastja Bric, \u0160pela Gale, Mateja Premrl, Lovro Ivan\u010di\u010d, Lan Krebs, Lucija Srebre , Josipa \u0160tefanec, Marija \u010cop, Sne\u017eana Skoko, \u017diga Brezovnik, Lara Banovec, Ur\u0161ka Medved, Lucija Jankovec, Nikolina Holjak, Dina Mlinac, Sara Strga\u010di\u0107, Nikolina Krsti\u010devi\u0107, Katarina Rus, Monika Ivanu\u0161a, Karmen Ho\u010devar with \u017diva Kandorfer and Eva Jakopi\u010d.

BIEN draws from the heritage of the industry and the identity of the space. It focuses on textiles, sustainable materials and principles, promotes interdisciplinary artistic connections and pays special attention to the best works of current student production.<\/b><\/p><p>Exhibition projects and installations will be on display in established gallery spaces in Gorenjska, such as the Layer House, the \u0160krlovec Tower and the Gorenjska Museum in Kranj, the \u0160iv\u010deva House in Radovljica and the \u0160kofja Loka Museum, as well as in public space. The main exhibition venue of the biennial will be the empty space of the former covered garage on the third floor of the Kranj Globus, work of architect Edvard Ravnikar. With this temporary use of space for artistic purposes, the organizers want to add a new meaning to the concept of the empty. Before Slovenia&#8217;s independence from Yugoslavia, Gorenjska was considered the leading textile region. After the suffocation of the industry, the change left a big void behind. This empty space can be an opportunity for a new story and this wants to be one of the messages of the BIEN Biennial.\u00a0<\/p><p>Suffocation has hit the whole world over the past year. Ideas, movements, culture, economy, education are stifled. Nature is suffocating, cities are suffocating. BIEN encourages us to breathe. Its projects focuses around collaborations, questioning and new creative approaches. Textiles are multifaceted, artistic, tactile, narrative, sustainable and sustainable. However, they are also artistic content that no one in Slovenia has purposely developed to date. That is why the exceptional response to last year&#8217;s BIEN 2020 pilot project by faculties, authors and the public is not surprising.<\/p><p><b>Sustainability principles and environmental issues<\/b><\/p><p>At the biennial, Eta Sadar Breznik, a textile artist and winner of the Pre\u0161eren Fund, presents herself with woven spatial objects. The new contemporary tapestry entitled Visions of Sustainability is being created as a remote art residency created by four young textile artists, Mateja Premrl, Lovro Ivan\u010di\u010d, Lucija Srebre and Lan Krebs. The recycled and interactive modular installation G-U-M-E, which draws attention to another important\u00a0 industry of Kranj, will be presented at the biennial by Lavoslava Ben\u010di\u010d and Nejc Stupan. Invited artists, students of textiles, clothing and interior design and their mentors present themselves with numerous projects that address natural heritage, bees, drinking water, care for the environment and the Sava and Kokra rivers.<\/p><p>This year, BIEN pays special attention to the Sava River and the International Sava Day, which is celebrated on 1 June. On this day, the premiere sound walk along the Sava river by Anja Podreka will be performed, followed by three repetitions, one could also walk it individually. The walk thematizes the role of river bodies in urban development. The poetry collection of Layer&#8217;s publishing house, dedicated to rivers, will also be published on June 1.<\/p><p><b>Connecting textiles and the tradition of painting<\/b><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-primary );\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p>The results of an interdisciplinary project in which researchers dr. Mateja Gole\u017e and dr. Darja Rant from the Civil Engineering Institute of Slovenia, prof. Marija Jenko from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering, Department of Textile and Clothing Design, University of Ljubljana and doc. mag. Anja Jer\u010di\u010d Jakob from the Faculty of Education, University of Ljubljana, and video artist Ula Pogorev\u010dnik investigate and artistically interpret historical materials. They focus on canvases and traces of paintings on which the late Slovenian Baroque painter Leopold Layer painted. The project, which was created in cooperation with the parish of Kranj and will be presented in the gallery of dr. Cene Avgu\u0161tin of the Kranj unit of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Heritage emphasizes the special role of textiles in world art, as it was the canvases that popularized painting.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3451394 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3451394\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-ca01bc3\" data-id=\"ca01bc3\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-01212bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"01212bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/layer.si\/bien\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/EF87025D-DD3E-4DDE-A927-CF1C2ABF821C-5216-0000037DD2530A29-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1747\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/layer.si\/bien\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/EF87025D-DD3E-4DDE-A927-CF1C2ABF821C-5216-0000037DD2530A29-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/layer.si\/bien\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/EF87025D-DD3E-4DDE-A927-CF1C2ABF821C-5216-0000037DD2530A29-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/layer.si\/bien\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/EF87025D-DD3E-4DDE-A927-CF1C2ABF821C-5216-0000037DD2530A29-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/layer.si\/bien\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/EF87025D-DD3E-4DDE-A927-CF1C2ABF821C-5216-0000037DD2530A29-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/layer.si\/bien\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/EF87025D-DD3E-4DDE-A927-CF1C2ABF821C-5216-0000037DD2530A29.jpg 1776w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Emma Sofia: I will cry here a little bit_photo: Ma\u0161a Pirc<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9b1f979 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9b1f979\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-74cc689\" data-id=\"74cc689\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-30a41db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"30a41db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"color: #000000;
