Rose Velvet
It's me! Rose! Rose Velvet- I'm here, hi, hello! I'm online, online - onLINE I'll tell you everything about myself: 1. Talented! 2. Brilliant! 3. Incredible! 4. Stunning! 5. Spectacular! My infrastructure is a very simple set of 6 hands and 30 fingers 2 broken, 1 cut. Click, click, click! Nice deal, I think, 3-in-1! I'm so glad we met! No no, I don't smoke – it's not good for you! \(×~×)/
In all my forms, I am so real and so authentic! I am very productive, maybe the most productive in the whole world – (I would say) My nails are hitting the keyboard -

Yeehaw! I ride towards the horizon of the Wild Wild Web. I'm a cowboy who stomps on his enemies! But I love hanging out with my friends! I love my friends! Every person in the world is my friend! I'm Rose! I love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“Rose Velvet” is one of six new productions premiered this summer, as part of the 63rd Poreč Annale. The Zagreb cycle therefore includes six solo exhibitions (Robert Fenrich, Andrej Beštak and Anja Leko, ROSE collective, Gaia Radić, Marianna Nardini and Andrej Škufca), and is dedicated to artistic strategies of disruption of reality using irrational, magical and sacred frameworks.
"They told me the planet has nerve endings" explores artistic practices as a place of instability, current realities in constant processes of becoming and disappearing, transitional subjects and carnival suspensions, temporary extensions into new immaterial, surreal and digital worlds. These are worlds in-between, worlds that lurk for us, waiting for us to open our own boundaries. They disturb the dominant systems of reality by accepting irrational, magical and sacred frameworks: in them our bodies burst and sail into new realities, mutating into alien organisms.
