The Independent Biennial is proud to present 50 visual works of our authors in a screening exhibition at Merkillinen - visual poetry exhibition at Gallery Aila Seppälä Lahti, Finland from 29th July to 23rd August 2015.
The exhibition is organised by Sanakuva Collective, a Finnish cross-disciplinary arts group. It is a experimental platform where poetry, and literary texts, are interpreted via means of design, dance, photography, moving image and sound to be presented as literary interventions taking shape online, as live performances and exhibitions. It is this interdisciplinary approach and the bridging of different artistic expression that binds the Sanakuva Collective to the Independents biennial. The idea of presenting the works of the Independent Biennial authors at the Merkillinen emerged during the planning of the collaboration for the Independents Biennial 5th edition. The works and authors presented in Lahti were previously presented at the Embassy of Slovenia and the New York University in Washington.
Authors presented are: Ana Baraga, Anka Kočevar, Aphra Tesla, Biba Košmerl, Branislav Milošević, David Krančan, Davor Gromilović, Dušan Moldovan, Elena Fajt, Eva Lucija Kozak, Irena Ocepek, Janez Vreček, Jure Engelsberger, Kaja Kisilak, Katarina Vladimirov Young, Kitsch-Nitsch, Leon Zoudar, Luka Mancini, Luka Umek, Mladen Stropnik & Nataša Skušek, Matej Jarc, Matej Lavrenčič, Matija Medved, Miha Vrhunc, Milanka Fabjančič, Mina Fina, Mina Arko, Natan Esku, Neja Tomšič, Nejaaka (Neja Englesberger & Akaša Bojić), Nejc Korenič, Nina Vrhovec, Patricija Čičmir, Rok Marinšek, Rone84, Saša Štucin, Špela Škulj, Suzi Bricelj, Tanja Semion, Teja Ideja, Urh Sobočan, Zoran Pungerčar, Živa Moškrič
Apart from the works of Slovenian authors Merkillinen exhibition is showcasing works of recognised Finnish poets, artists and graphic designers. They were asked to comment on how they see the many forms of visual poetry today, and where it is heading tomorrow.

Bienale neodvisnih Lahti
29. julij do 23. avgust
Bienale neodvisnih bo predstavil dela 50 avtorjev Bienala neodvisnih na digitalni razstavi Merkillinen – razstava vizualne poezije v galeriji Aila Seppälä v Lahtiju na Finskem.
Razstavo organizira kolektiv Sanakuva, finska interdisciplinarna umetniška skupina, ki deluje kot eksperimentalna platforma, kjer se poezija in literarni teksti interpretirajo skozi oblikovanje, ples, fotografijo, gibljive slike in zvok ter se izoblikujejo v online literarne intervence, performanse in razstave.
Ravno to povezovanje različnih disciplin in načelo prehajanja med različnimi umetniškimi izrazi je tisto, kar povezuje kolektiv Sanakuva z Bienalom neodvisnih. Ob dogovarjanju o sodelovanju na peti ediciji Bienala neodvisnih se je tako porodila ideja, da se avtorje Bienala neodvisnih predstavi tudi na razstavi Merkillinen. Gre za 50 del avtorjev preteklih edicij bienala, ki so bila pred tem v mesecu maju že razstavljena tudi v Washingtonu na ambasadi Republike Slovenije ter na New York University.
Predstavljeni avtorji: Ana Baraga, Anka Kočevar, Aphra Tesla, Biba Košmerl, Branislav Milošević, David Krančan, Davor Gromilović, Dušan Moldovan, Elena Fajt, Eva Lucija Kozak, Irena Ocepek, Janez Vreček, Jure Engelsberger, Kaja Kisilak, Katarina Vladimirov Young, Kitsch-Nitsch, Leon Zoudar, Luka Mancini, Luka Umek, Mladen Stropnik in Nataša Skušek, Matej Jarc, Matej Lavrenčič, Matija Medved, Miha Vrhunc, Milanka Fabjančič, Mina Fina, Mina Arko, Natan Esku, Neja Tomšič, Nejaaka (Neja Englesberger in Akaša Bojić), Nejc Korenič, Nina Vrhovec, Patricija Čičmir, Rok Marinšek, Rone84, Saša Štucin, Špela Škulj, Suzi Bricelj, Tanja Semion, Teja Ideja, Urh Sobočan, Zoran Pungerčar, Živa Moškrič
Poleg avtorjev bienala sodelujejo na razstavi Merkillinen znani finski pesniki, umetniki in oblikovalci, ki razstavljajo svoj pogled na vizualno poezijo danes in možnosti njenega razvoja.
Razstava nastaja v sodelovanju z revijo Tuli&Savu in festivalom poezije Annikki Poetry Festival 2015, ki je del tedna poezije v Lahtiju.
