Gorgona Please Attend
Opening: January 18, 2013, 6 to 9 pm

"In 1961, Gorgona fled from the then powerful communism into the irrational, the incomprehensible. The inactivity of Gorgona was noticeable. Several young people whose mutual affection was the decisive connective factor met occasionally. Gorgona did not have any messages! It was a particular type of activity, auto-ironic, affording a feeling of being unusual. Perhaps it brought something new; perhaps it only resolved its life problems, feelings of being hemmed in. Perhaps it left nothing behind apart from friendship and spiritual closeness."

ŻAK | BRANICKA is delighted to present the first exhibition by the proto-conceptual Zagreb-based group Gorgona that unrealised itself between 1959 and 1966.
