“EVERYTHING IN ITS RIGHT PLACE”, MIROSLAV KRALJEVIĆ GALLERY , Zagreb, Croatia
plaster panels, wood, sound, light
coming back from the residence in New York, I had a solo exhibition as a winner of Radoslav Putar award
the exhibition is supposed to reflect the New York experience
I have built the corridor within the exhibition space that lead to the storage of the gallery
I have left all of the objects in the storage as they were, without any intervention or changing the setting
I have built the wooden ceiling through which light could be seen, and sound could be heard
the sound was recorded during one of the high-brow exhibition openings in New York
creation of false spectacle and high expectations eventually leads the visitor to the unrepresentative setting of the storage, where he/she is left to him/herself
personal and social position is stressed here, that includes irony
the work deals with relations within art, the question of center and province, of inherent and imposed mystification and glorification of the center
after spending two months in such a center, coming back to reality can be seen as a failure, but at the same time as relief because everything is where it should be
