Name Readymade is a project presentation dealing with a wide range of issues related to the 鈥渘ame changing鈥� gesture perpetrated by three Slovenian artists who, in 2007, legally, and with all the papers and stamps required, changed their names and assumed the name of the Slovenian Prime Minister at the time, Janez Jan拧a. Ever since, all their works, their private and public affairs 鈥� in a word, their whole life 鈥� have been conducted under this new name. It is a parcours through different stages and aspects of the act of name changing and its consequences, including public, relational and intimate
ones.
