NAME READYMADE
Name READYMADE is the presentation of the "Name Changing" gesture perpetrated by three Slovene artists who in 2007 officially, and with all the papers and stamps required, changed their names to that of Slovenia's...prime minister at the time, Janez Janša.
Works exhibited in this show (valid ID cards, passports, credit and bank cards, driving licenses, birth and marriage certificates, and so on) are generated by the reality itself. Through turning around the classical relational scheme between art and life Janez Janša, Janez Janša and Janez Janša have cut right in the midst of their own realities and the reality of space and time, in which they work.
