In 2018 coworkers of SCCA-Ljubljan will prepare one lecture in January (Peter Cerov\u0161ek), February (Lara Plav\u010dak) and March (Barbara Bor\u010di\u0107). You are kindly welcome to join us on Tuesday, 27 February at the lecture by art historian, curator and former World of Art coworker <strong>Lara Plav\u010dak<\/strong>, which will focus on the contemporary phenomenon of <em>sad girl aesthetics<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The <em>sad girl aesthetics<\/em> phenomenon is especially present on the internet and social networks, where it is characterized by the expression of anxieties, sharing of intimate stories and everyday anecdotes, melancholic images, from artworks to selfies. It is characterized by humorous approaches and specific aesthetics, which nostalgically takes on the recognizable girlish iconography of a teenage princess. Through stereotypes and intimate confessions, this creates a new expression that forces the protagonists from their assumed <em>bedroom culture<\/em> into the virtual public sphere, whereby undesired and, in principle, hidden emotions are not an irrational physical reaction, but a legitimate and informed response.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4979\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4979\" style=\"width: 889px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4979 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Audrey-Wollen-730x477-730x477.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"889\" height=\"581\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Audrey-Wollen-730x477.png 730w, https:\/\/www.worldofart.org\/arhiv.worldofart.org\/current\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Audrey-Wollen-730x477-338x221.png 338w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 889px) 100vw, 889px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4979\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Both photos from the Instagram profile by artist Audrey Wollen (@audreywollen).
