S'PAJKANJE

Naslov S'pajkanje je nastal z združitvijo besed pajek in spajkanje (tehnika izdelave pločevinastega stenskega pajka). Z obnovami hiš, spremembo okusa, pozabo pomena pajka kot varuha doma, izginjajo tudi ti stenski okraski. Na stenah in fasadah so se ohranili le še v žepih Slovenije, kjer še vedno gojijo izdelavo pajkov kot hobi ali pa so ostalina preteklih časov in izdelki tehničnega pouka v osnovnih šolah. Zamenjujejo jih nadzorne kamere in avtomatične luči na prenovljenih fasadah.

Člani društva za domače raziskave smo leta 2008 sprožili raziskavo, ki jo lahko spremljate na S'pajkblogu. Z zbranim materialom na terenu in s pomočjo sodelavcev pripravljamo razstavo, ki jo bomo odprli 2. septembra 2009 v Knjižnici Kolodvor.

Društvo želi ohraniti spomin na izdelavo, tipologijo, odnos ljubiteljev in predstaviti odnos stroke do pločevinastih stenskih pajkov. Po raziskavi, razstavi in TV dokumentarcu v letu 2010 sledi še monografija o tem tradicionalnem hišnem okrasju.

The Domestic Research Society has decided to research and chronicle the manufacturing process of sheet-metal spiders currently found on house fronts, along with their types and attitudes to them before this indigenous ornate animal becomes extinct and replaced by cameras and automatic lights for security. Inside the exhibition container in Bratislava we have built the metal spider's native environment: a plastered wall with one specimen on one side and the video showing the DDR's methods of approach, ways of thinking and planning on the other.

Uvod v raziskavo o pločevinastem pajku, ki krasi fasade tipičnih slovenskih hiš. Za pločevinastega pajka smo v razstavnem zabojniku sredi Bratislave zgradili njegovo "domače" okolje.

DOMESTIC SPIDER

DDR has decided to research and chronicle the manufacturing process of sheet-metal spiders currently found on house fronts, along with their types and attitudes to them before this indigenous ornate animal becomes extinct. Spiders on facades are not common anymore because people's mentality has changed, the school curriculum has been redesigned, tastes have altered and old houses have been renovated with cameras and automatic lights for protection.
