ACRYL’s festival is called “Museum Frauen Circus”, in English “Women’s Circus Museum”, that moves around like a circus and changes their annual show. With containers filled with works of art it establishes contacts in cultural locations enlarging the presentation platform for feminine contemporary art and simultaneously uses the cultural infrastructure location. The name “Museum” stresses that it is a serious work and is serious in what is presented in the exhibitions.

KOLEKTIVA is participating with the project Hiteti ali biti temeljit? (digital print, video (3’25”), 2004).
The work is a result of a public action of KOLEKTIVA performed on a residency in Nottingham, UK in 2004. The title is a Slovene sentence, which was publicly displayed in the centre of Nottingham city. Each word has its English translation and phonetic transcription, taken directly from a Slovene-English dictionary. Each word has several translations, which generate subtle differences in meaning. The phrase cannot be translated exactly, leaving space for people to compose their own sentence. The video shows random people trying to pronounce these Slovene words. The structure of power held by native speakers of dominant world languages (such as English) is subverted, as we ask them to pronounce Slovene words.

Skupina KOLEKTIVA se na razstavi predstavlja s projektom Hiteti ali biti temeljit? (digitalni print, video (3’25”), 2004).
Projekt je nastal na rezidenčnem bivanju v Nottinghamu. V eni izmed glavnih ulic znotraj območja za pešce, v centru Nottinghama, smo na zid nalepile plakat z vprašanjem v slovenskem jeziku: Hiteti ali biti temeljit? Vsako besedo smo predstavile tudi s fonetičnim zapisom in angleškim prevodom. Možnih prevodov posamezne besede je več in omogočajo rahle spremembe v pomenu. Stavka ni mogoče dobesedno prevesti, različni možni prevodi posameznih besed pa puščajo odprto možnost, da si ljudje sami ustvarijo svoj prevod.
Video prikazuje naključne mimoidoče, ki skušajo prebrati slovenski stavek. Z akcijo smo angleško govoreče za trenutek prestavile iz dominantnega položaja, ki ga imajo kot govorci najbolj razširjenega svetovnega jezika, in jih postavile v položaj nekoga, ki se trudi pravilno izgovoriti stavek v tujem jeziku.
