Tina Kolenik v svojih projektih izkorišča svoje telo kot prostor pomenov, kot metodološko polje, ja, tudi bojno polje, na katerem se odvijajo spopadi različnih kulturnih in družbenih, v zadnjem času tudi političnih silnic. Golo telo v umetnosti je v družbenem smislu še vedno prestopek, transgresija: hkrati krši in usmerja pogled čez znano, uveljavljeno, dovoljeno. Blaž […]
