“Rags in the wind III” is an eccentric exibition

of extravagant works set in an unusual place.

t will be surprising for the visitors of Mozirski

gaj to breathe in the perfume of flowers and

those of artistic items; to find out the incredible

architectures of nature and the entangled

handlings of man; to enjoy the wonders of 

plant life, but the fascinating tools of art too.

It is also unusual to see an international

collection of artist’s rags of  “tattered art”,

on the log of a beech , of an oak or of a simple

shrub. This concept of  “art in the wind” was

born observing the washing that, women all

over the world, hung out in the streets,

courtyards, in the gardens, or on the terraces .

The effect of the wind that makes the clothes

flutter in a different movement , the swaying

of colours that draws images in the sky which

are a wonderful artistic game of nature.

The Free International Artists understood all

this and wanted to idealize it in the project

“Rags in the wind” in order to carry it out

later, in several parks and botanic gardens of

the world. The first edition, inspired to “the

myths in the world”, took place in the

Botanic Garden of the University “Federico II”

in Naples – Italy , while the second edition

“Fetzen im Wind II” the “magic” took place in

the Botanischer Garten der Karl Franzens

Universitat, Graz – Austria .

Today “Rags in the wind III” materializes again

and brings a bit of faboulous in the wonderful

scenery between the mountains, trees and

flowers of Mozirsky gaj – Park der Blumen

in Mozirje.

ITALIANO

“Rags in the wind III” è una mostra eccentrica

di opere stravaganti in un luogo atipico.

Sarà sorprendente per i visitatori di

Mozirski gaj inalare il profumo dei fiori

assieme all’odore dei medium artistici;

scoprire le straordinarie architetture della

natura e le intrigate manipolazioni dell’uomo;

godere le meraviglie della flora ma anche gli

affascinanti  oggetti d’arte.

 

È anche raro vedere una collezione

internazionale di stracci d’artista, di

"arte-sbrindellata", sul tronco di un faggio,

di una quercia o di un semplice arbusto.

Questo concetto di “arte al vento” è nato

osservando gli indumenti messi ad asciugare

per le strade, nei cortili, nei giardini, sui tetti

dalle donne di tutto il mondo.

L’azione del vento che fa sventolare i panni

in un movimento mai uguale, l’ondeggiare

dei colori che disegnano sempre nuove

immagini nel cielo sono un meraviglioso

gioco artistico della natura.

 

I  Free International Artists hanno intuito

tutto questo e l’hanno voluto idealizzare nel

progetto “Stracci al Vento” per poi realizzarlo

nei parchi e nei giardini botanici del mondo.

La prima edizione, ispirata a “I miti nel mondo”,

si è tenuta nell’Orto Botanico dell’Università

“Federico II” di Napoli - Italia, mentre la seconda

edizione, “Fetzen im Wind II”- la “magia”

si è tenuta nel Botanischer Garten der Karl

Franzens Universität, Graz- Austria.

 

Oggi  “Rags in the wind III” si concretizza

ancora e porta un po di fantastico nel

meraviglioso scenario tra monti, alberi e fiori

di Mozirski gaj – Park der Blumen in Mozirje.

Mozirski gaj is because of their history very

interesting park. You can say that a child

independence of Slovenia participated in

all major events in Slovenia and Croatia.

Otherwise there was nothing in Mozirje.

Gospodarsko razstavišču Ljubljana. When you have

over the years exhibition requirements grow, it will

Exhibitor usihala, is the Alliance to seek other forms

approached all Slovenes. Horticultural exhibition

was then every two years and is always in another

place. Thus, over time, all the places that you seek

to gain more cultural image. The call was first

reported in the Gorenjska Jesenice where the

place is already quite a few exhibitions. Why

Jesenice have really started to wake up in a nice

orderly communal green has steadily expanded.

Lasting memory of this period is richly arranged

memorial park at the abandoned city cemetery.

Very active were also Laški. where the original

pure horticultural events Beer and flowers over

the years turned into a weekly folk rajanje law,

 which visits each year around 150,000 visitors.

To monitor all events more orderly place, can not

renovated town park and green in the city.

Modern solar park, which should grow west of the

town, and will probably forever remain only in the

plans ...

professionalism and our audience enjoys the most

attention. Maintainers must have only so much

money and imagination to effect any change,

Jože Skornšek in Mozirski Gaius will not.

The richness of the heart is more than anything

These gardeners are especially needed in our

country. Cities are always find money for parks

and green, because there they meet an important

cultural and social mission. In the Land of parks must

be designed so as to attract as many as possible of

visitors looking for beauty. In the West vigorously

renovated old gardens around the castle, which

most do not even know what they were, in fact,

(Het Loo at the Dutch, Villandy in France).

In Mozirje assist with colorful flowers and

exhibitions. As each year will also be the beginning

of September this year in major horticultural show

in the open, as the one decent decision precious
