Žaklina Lečnik/ SeeHearCollective

SeeHearCollective is a joint effort of artists Žaklina Lečnik (visual art) and Renard A. Aust (sound). In their work they strive to combine the particularities and peculiarities of their own discipline in order to find novel and engaging ways of expressing themselves. Their collaborative oeuvre has a very much searching and re-searching nature. SeeHearCollective is a playground for sketches, concepts, rhythm, shape and colour.

UNFINISHED

Every presentation takes a different form – slightly or even drastically – as we play with the way we share our work with our audience. Our projects are often ongoing. We embrace the ‘unfinishedness’ of our art.

NAIVE

A certain naivety is at the core of our artistic expression: we consciously seek out the feeling of inhibition while developing new ideas and inviting materials into our projects.

FRAGILE

The result is oftentimes works that are fragile.

ACCESSIBLE

Accessibility is key for us: abstraction is a universal language, not depending on background and an invitation to make personal associations.

NON-HIERARCHICAL

There is a strong non-hierarchical or egalitarian element to our visual compositions. The absence of a center of gravity ensures that no specific detail demands attention. The whole, comprising of small elements, creates a balance. Each compositional building block has equal impact.

SeeHearCollective springs from an ongoing dialogue between the visual and the auditory. The questions and responses are shaped by the answers and echoes that emerge from a medium other than one’s own. By combining different disciplines, the language and texture of one’s ‘own’ medium are transformed.
