syllaBLEndings In 2017 I started another series within this concept - the syllaBlEndings. syllaBlEndings are short verses fusing two (rarely more) words, positioned on three rows, as the last syllable of the first word is the first syllable of the second word and usually is positioned on the middle row. The two words in the syllaBLEndings share, have in common, belong together, are connected, mix, blend, meet, overlap, clash, penetrate each other, are Siamese twins, one is developing/growing into the other, the ending of the one is the beginning of the other, exist in symbiosis, compliment each other. A syllaBLEnding is a process. Often, the syllaBLEndings can be seen as a "the chicken or the egg" causality dilemma (what came first?), where the events represent reciprocally cause and effect. Since May 2018, selected verses from the syllaBLEndings series are exhibited on light boxes and as posters in several public spaces in Graz, Austria. The verses are exchanged monthly. To this moment seven light boxes at five locations are hosting the syllaBLEndings: Steiermärkische Landesbibliothek Entlehnungsbereich Kalchberggasse 2 8010 Graz Mo - Fr: 9 - 17 Uhr Sommer- und Weihnachtsferien: Mo - Fr: 9 - 13 Uhr Kulturvermittlung Steiermark Kunstpädagogisches Institut Graz Wielandgasse 9/I A-8010 Graz Mo-Do 9:00-15:00 Uhr Fr 9:00-13:00 Uhr Cafe König Sackstraße 14 A-8010 Graz Mo - Fr: 7:00 - 19:30 Uhr Sa: 7:00 - 18:30 Uhr Reicher Arts Gallery Gallery display window 24 /7 Franziskanergasse 5 A-8010 Graz Mo - Fr: 7:00 - 19:30 Uhr Sa: 7:00 - 18:30 Uhr 2017 till 2023 the syllaBLEndings were also presented at Stadtbibliothek Zanklhof and Cafe Stockwerk. After each change of the verses on the light boxes, photos are posted on my Facebook profile, in the eponymous album on Facebook, and on my blog under the label syllaBLEndings. During the years flyers with syllaBLEndings verses were produced and distributed in Graz. |

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. |  |
