TRASH / 2004

“ARTI-ST NOW”, SUBSTRUCTURES OF THE DIOCLETIAN'S PALACE, Split, Croatia


plastic bags, trash



bags filled with garbage were set in the historical centre of Split

the bags were filled with the garbage left after the setting of the works by other artists at the exhibition, garbage from the curator’s house, from the archives of the Croatian Artists’ Association Split (exhibition organization), and the garbage I had collected in the Basement of the Diocletian’s palace and at the town centre

identification of the artistic, intellectual and organizational to the everyday life

creation and consumption set in an equal relation through the by-products of both actions – waste

the title of the work shows criticism of relation towards art and culture, towards creativity, and to the cultural and historical heritage

work also deals with the contemporary ecological subjects
