| st.art Author: Veronika Tzekova As a manner of artistic creation in many of my recent works I employ existing urban situations, objects, visuals, texts and just add often a small detail, which significantly changes their meaning and/or function. St.art book includes art works in the period 2004-2010, some still in progress at the time and some as ideas developed during 2010. The selection is made to guide the viewer through an artistic process that lead to the birth of ideas such as Space NRGZers and Dadissuasori. The book ends with a couple of blank pages, which are to e filled in with sketches and ideas for new works employing the same approach. |  |
MISSION
The
“Museum of Hidden Words” is an ongoing art and research project
by artist Veronika Tzekova (veroniKATZEkova), dedicated to the visual
perception of language and the development of a distinctive artistic
approach to language.
At its heart are “CDoupbles” –
artworks based on a linguistic phenomenon in which words accidentally
contain other words, without any etymological connection between
them.
The resulting artworks make hidden linguistic
relationships visible and invite us to experience language as a
treasure trove of miniature scenarios and spaces of meaning.
FOCUS
AREAS
One of the museum's main focuses is the ongoing research, collection, archiving and categorisation of “CDoupbles”, particularly those that open up intriguing, surprising or ambiguous scenarios.
The second focus is the artistic interpretation of “CDoupbles”, as well as the production, collection and presentation of the artworks that emerge from them.#
PUBLIC PRESENCE
The museum features a permanent information display introducing its mission and focus areas, as well as the concept and development of CDoupbles. Its six sections explore the linguistic phenomenon, the visual perception of language, associative thinking, the variety of artistic forms, the languages and themes explored, and the project's development and history.
A screen runs a 24/7 slideshow featuring a selection of works from the museum's collection.
Two dynamic features – CDoupble Spotlight and Tongue-in-Cheek – keep the museum in motion. They regularly showcase selected pieces from the collection, fresh inspiration and newly created works.

| My Blog challengedgames.blogspot.co.at The CHAlleNGED GAMES blog was conceived with the hope to stimulate divergence thinking and challenge the viewer to rethink one's routines and shift his/her perspective on the status quo. The blog was initially dedicated to the CHAlleNGED GAMES series and seeks for extended meaning in playing and its relation to aspects of human existence and production. As with the time I started to experiment with another system - the language, to apply mathematical logic and seek patterns in words, in the last years my publications are mostly about this part of my work. |  |
