Final exhibition, 5th round - 'On Unknown Works'

“Final exhibition” is part of the Zagreb – Cultural Kapital of Europe 3000 project

18 February 2006 - 04 March 2006 'I have focused attention on works from the seventies and eighties of several artists: Boris Cvjetanović, Antonio Gotovac-Lauer (Tomislav Gotovac), Sanja Iveković, Željko Jerman, Julije Knifer, Vlado Martek, Dalibor Martinis, Mladen Stilinović, Sven Stilinović, Goran Trbuljak and Josip Vaništa. Here there are works on paper, photographs, artist’s books, films and video works. Paradoxically, some of the exhibited “unknown” works were at one time printed in the daily papers circulation, yet all the same, no one remembers them and does not count them. Several of these have remained unknown even to today, as they were inaccessible even to the artists themselves. Only a few of the works in the exhibition are of a more recent date. Those are the works by artists of the older generation who rarely exhibit at exhibitions of contemporary art and for this reason their newer works remain unknown. The history of the individual non-exhibiting is interesting. Sometimes a story is presented alongside the work. The stories speak about all of us – of artists and curators and the public'.
