On Friday, January 24th, at 5 p.m., we invite you to join a guided tour of the exhibition SIX SAMPLES OF DISASTER with Irena Bekić and art historian and theorist Ph.D. Leonida Kovač.
During the group exhibition SIX SAMPLES OF DISASTER, curators Dušica Dražić and Irena Bekić chose to intervene by introducing M. Bachmann’s painting Forest Landscape (c. 1850) from the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb, which was damaged in the earthquake and is currently closed to the public.
Forest Landscape, now part of the exhibition, speaks to the visible and less-visible traces of human intervention in nature and matter. It serves as a metaphor for the 19th century. The curators’ intention is to explore the ongoing narrative of human colonization of Earth and space, which continually leaves destructive marks.
