KORALJKA KOVAČ
K.K.’s Diary
Bačva Gallery
4.-16.7.2017.

Exhibition opening: Tuesday, July 4, 2017, 8pm

The exhibition K.K.’s Diary of Koraljka Kovač will open on Tuesday, July 4 at 8pm at Bačva Gallery (Croatian Association of Fine Artists).

Koraljka attributes an intimate spirit to in total enlarged diary, verbal (hidden and invisible) – visual records (revealed and visible) using collective, not completely perfect symbols of the circle, square, triangle, rectangle… Actually, the communication of their relations of archetypal properties as well as the one connected with elongated rectangles of circular circumference with which it encircles the circular space. (…) The whole idea of encircling was first created in a diary note. With a sort of unconscious automatism, the artist fills pages and pages with intimate signs of a visual and verbal intimate diary, which she unconsciously fills with paintings-drawings-writings while having her mind somewhere else – for example, while talking on the phone or working on sketches. (Željko Marciuš, autthor of the preface)

The retrospective exhibition of Sunčanica Tuk will open on Tuesday, June 13 at 7pm at Prsten Gallery (Croatian Association of Fine Artists). Sunčanica Tuk is an extraordinary personality on the Croatian painting scene, and her refined painting language of a marvellous confessionality is the most beautiful and most valuable in today’s art, as said in the preface, written by Ivica Župan. The exhibition is an overview of her artistic work in the last forty-five years, from student times at Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb to this day with an emphasis on the essential aspect of her artistic concept: processuality, based on primary, hermetic and reductive form. The articulation of the process, she set to brush stroke as essential “tool” by which she builds her serial painting of rows, layers and so called records.With the help of nerves in her hand and controlled automatism she writes a psychogram of inner spiritual states and latent resistance to reality, and with this process – absurd action of repeating the move – she awakes the absurdity of cognition and essential meaning, of course, with positive intention to withstand the destruction and entropy.

All phases of her work will be represented at the exhibition, with emphasis on works created immediately after her studies, 1971/72, which are confirmation of her early discoveries of key premises in her painting by consolidating the primary form on the basis of a serial system of repeated brush stroke.

Formal opening of the exhibition SCREEN PRESENT TENSE will open in the Bačva Gallery of the Home of the Croatian Association of Artists on Friday, June 9, 2017 at 7 pm Exhibition opening will be followed by performance ”Show Personality Not Personal Items’ by Nora Turato.

The exhibition Screen Present Tense is dedicated to contemporary forms of performing arts and feminism. Throughout its history, performance was never completely unmediated, devoid of a certain level of mediation. Moreover, performance is often technology-dependent, whether it be text, photography, video archives, or social networks. The paradox of all forms of contemporary technological mediations lies in the fact that the real body is being constantly transformed into a body-image. In other words, the embodied experienced is never free from technology. On the other hand, it was only a matter of time when female artists would make their presence known within the Internet’s public space and tackle the dominant position of the male gaze.
