The exhibition of Jagoda Buić titled Iron and paper will open on Monday, 16 of May, in Home of the Croatian Association of Artists (HDLU), Bačva Gallery at 8 p. m. On this occasion, at 7 p. m., on the corner of Žrtve Fašizma Square and King Držislav Street, the sculpture In memory of Bernardo Bernardi will be revealed.
Jagoda Buić is one of the most distinctive, internationally acknowledged and affirmed Croatian artists, a winner of, among many others, Grand Prix at the Biennale of São Paulo, of Herder Prize in Vienna, UNESCO’s Award for Contemporary Arts; she has exhibited at the Biennale of Venice for three times.
As Tonko Maroević has written in the catalogue of the exhibition:
It seems to us, we do not want to exaggerate, that the rusty and muted surfaces of the iron pieces together with the dark layers of pleated and in dark (or red) colored paper create a harmonious rhyme. We are, however, convinced that the witty and dispersed contours of the spatial achievements offer a proper counterpoint to the established artistic vocabulary of those collage accumulations.
And Jagoda Buić underlines:
Art is like a subterranean river with its own course. I believe in its cosmic charge.
The exhibition is a continuation of the exhibition Triptych Squared, which is on view in Oris House of Architecture from 16 May till 4 June.
