Shunga – Eroticism and Dreams of Edo Period
PM Gallery
May 22 – June 9, 2019
Curators: Zvonimir Dobrović i Bruno Isaković
The exhibition Shunga – Eroticism and Dreams of Edo Period opens on Wednesday, May 22, 2018 at 7pm at the PM Gallery of the Home of the Croatian Association of Artists.
Shunga paintings (1600 to 1900) were extremely popular in Japan, they were known as “spring paintings” and were made by great masters of woodcut such as Hokusiai, Utamara and Kunisada. At the beginning of the 21st century, Shunga was re-discovered and presented to the public by a large exhibition at the British Museum in London. Stuart Frost, one of the curators from the British Museum, will also participate in the Zagreb exhibition. Ironically, although Shunga paintings were removed from popular and scientific memory in Japan and became taboo, at the same time were discovered and enthusiastically collected by artists from the West. These explicit and beautifully detailed erotic images inspired Toulouse-Lautrec, Rodin and Picasso. The influence is also visible in today’s pop culture of Japan from tattoo artists to anime and manga.

ARTISTS AS MENTORS
CURATOR: LUISE KLOOS
Karas Gallery
April 24 – May 12, 2019
Opening of the exhibition: Wednesday, April 24 at 7 pm at the Karas Gallery
The group exhibition Artists as Mentors, by Luise Kloos, will be opened on Wednesday, April 24 at 7 pm at the Karas Gallery (Zvonimirova 58).
“For four years already Styrian artists have been opening their studios to give the Croatian students the opportunity of a two-week practice, within the Erasmus + project in the field of contemporary art production in Styria. Within this period, 74 young people and 11 professors from Croatia have already taken this opportunity. At the invitation of the Croatian Association of Artists, these artists, who have good local and international reputation, are now displaying their works in Zagreb. (…)
“In art production, the existence of ‘the older’ is the basis that enables the new to gain the legacy of novelty, to connect the past and the future, to give material to the impatience of thought and to define the position in the present. Contemporary art history has no basis in ideologies that developed in the 20th century like on sea waves“(Paul Z. Rotterdam, Wild Vegetation, 2014).

NATAŠA VUKOVIĆ
DISTORTION
Karas Gallery
April 9 – April 21, 2019
Opening of the exhibition: Tuesday, April 9 at 7 pm at the Karas Gallery
Exhibition Distortion, by Nataša Vuković, will be opened on Tuesday, April 9 at 7 pm at the Karas Gallery (Zvonimirova 58).
”If the painting can still make us pause and if we still attribute to the painting power to stop us, to make us look, long enough to experience time through focus in observing what is painted, then maybe we still try to observe the painting in a way maybe we want to be observed. (…)
In the context of previous author’s paintings, in which, for example, with a similarly sophisticated detail oriented gesture, she dedicated herself to the depictions of wrinkled nylon, it is quite obvious that Nataša Vuković, in her artistic work, devoutly contemplates the apparent status quo of the present circumstances in which we find ourselves as a civilization.”
From the preface, written by Ana-Marija Koljanin
