EXHIBITION OPENING: Thursday, 21st February 2019, at 20:00 NMG@PRAKTIKA, Klub KOCKA, Dom mladih Split, Ulica slobode 28 The exhibition is open until February 28th every day from 20 to 22 h A photograph. A moment in time. A memory. A canvas for an idea. Spontaneity and a plan, experiment and knowledge, play and dedication, elegance and chaos, light and shadow… a stream of consciousness and contrasting associations spill onto the paper while I reminisce about the conversation I had with Josipa and Alma. This text was not as easy to write as I thought it would be. I pondered long and hard a way to start and conceive it. I wondered why is that so. And concluded that, in the background, there is this insecurity how to genuinely depict the strength of the experience and the value of that which impressed me so much listening to them playfully describe the process of how this work came to be. I realized I never did wrong by being honest. I would thus write from the soul, not waiting for inspiration to come. That is how these opening lines you are currently reading came about. In its core, art is simple. Just like the title of the work shown in this exhibition. The spark is either present or not in the eye of the observer. Both of mine sparkled while I listened to them finish each other’s sentences, talking to me about the process of creating photographs with which they are debuting in Split. The girls say they do not like long, pretentious, hermetic exhibition texts. We agreed on that. I don’t either, that is why I am writing this with a dose of intimacy and sensibility. Well right, maybe the text will end up a bit longer than expected, but I will try to sum up what this is all about, and leave the experience itself to you, the observers. The idea for the series of nudes in the media of digital photography summed in the title Line-nude, came about from an exam idea Alma had in college. Considering they were close friends who worked together in the past, she asked Josipa to pose for her and proposed that she, besides being a model, participated in the creation in the way that she draws on her own body, since Josipa paints as well. The intention was that she used this method to draw a shape, and neutralize the body. Finding inspiration in a number of artists, for example in art photography of Edward Weston, in the “Dance Curves: On the Dances of Palucca” by Wassily Kandinsky, in the color schemes of the Bauhaus and similar, the authors toyed with shapes, the relationship between light and dark, contrasts, volume, shape, geometry, etc. The body became the canvas and the lens a paintbrush. What they wanted to express was the line that changes shapes as the body moves. That is the reason why the nudes are decapitated, to rid the body of semantic biological meaning and turn it into sculpture, while the black background emphasized the sharpness of the edge and the clarity of line. As the authors put it: By testing the possibilities of the body poses, we capture its sculpturality, and its form is additionally explained to the observer by brush strokes. The mutual trust and eclecticism have resulted in an intimate performance by the two artists which became the platform to build on and continue working together. These photographs are the current result which they created by enjoying the process of working together without limitations. Only one spark, the goal is met. But, they have just started their journey together. The options to explore are barely just opened. As Alma puts it: “The entire life is an exploration, I’m not afraid I have to reach a conclusion.” CURATOR: Ivana Vukušić NMG PROGRAMME CURATORS: Ivana Vukušić, Natasha Kadin, Tina Vukasović Đaković DESIGN: Nikola Križanac EXHIBITION LAYOUT AND DOCUMENTATION: Tihana Mandušić DONORS: Ministarstvo kulture RH, Grad Split, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija MAVENA SUPPORTED BY: Nacionalna zaklada za razvoj civilnog društva, Zaklada Kultura nova ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: KUM, PDM, HULU, MKC kulturpunkt.hr/content/ostrina-ruba-tijela klfm.org/alma-strkljevic-josipa-krolo-crta-akt/

OTVORENJE IZLOŽBE: četvrtak, 21. veljače 2019. u 20:00h NMG@PRAKTIKA, Klub KOCKA, Dom mladih Split, Ulica slobode 28 Izložba je otvorena do 20. prosinca svakim danom od 20 do 22 h. Fotografija. Trenutak uhvaćen u protoku vremena. Memorija. Platno za ideju. Spontanost i plan, eksperiment i znanje, igra i predanost, elegancija i kaos, svjetlost i sjena… tok misli i kontrastnih asocijacija mi se pretače na papir dok se prisjećam razgovora s Josipom i Almom. Ovaj tekst nije nastao lagano kao što sam mislila da bi mogao. Dugo sam se razmišljala kako ga započeti i složiti. Pitala sam se što je k tomu tako? I zaključila da se u pozadini krije nesigurnost da kvalitetno prenesem jačinu doživljaja i vrijednost toga što me se dojmilo slušajući njih kako poletno pričaju o procesu i nastanku ovog rada. I shvatih da sa iskrenošću nikad nisam pogriješila. Pisati ću iz duše, ne čekajući inspiraciju. Tako je i nastao ovaj uvodni pasus koji upravo čitate. Umjetnost je u suštini jednostavna. Kao i naslov rada ove izložbe. U oku promatrača se iskra ili pojavi ili ne. Moja oba su zaiskrila dok sam ih slušala kako nadopunjavaju rečenice jedna drugoj pričajući mi o procesu nastanka fotografija s kojima se predstavljaju prvi put u Splitu. Kažu cure da ne vole dugačke, pretenciozne i hermetičke predgovore izložbama. Oko toga smo se složile. Ne volim ni ja, zato i pišem ovo s dozom intimnosti i senzibiliteta. Dobro, možda će tekst na kraju biti nešto poduži, no pokušat ću sažeti o čemu se tu točno radi, a sam doživljaj prepuštam vama gledaocima. Serija aktova u mediju digitalne fotografije sažetih pod nazivom Crta-akt, nastala je iz ideje za ispit koji je Alma imala na fakultetu dok je bila studentica. S obzirom da su bliske prijateljice i prethodno su surađivale, zamolila je Josipu da joj pozira i iznijela ideju da ne bude samo model, već da sudjeluje u kreaciji na način da ocrta vlastito tijelo, s obzirom se Josipa bavi slikarstvom. Namjera je bila da se takvim postupkom ocrta oblik, a tijelo kao takvo neutralizira. Pronalazeći inspiraciju kod raznih umjetnika, npr. u umjetničkoj fotografiji Edwarda Westona, u „Plesnim krivuljama baziranim na plesu Palucce” Wasilly Kandinskoga, u koloritu Bauhausa i sl., autorice su se poigrale oblicima, odnosima svjetla i sjene, kontrastima, volumenom, formom, geometrijom itd. Tijelo je postalo platno, a objektiv kist. Ono što su htjele istaknuti je linija koja mijenja oblik dok se tijelo kreće. Upravo zato su aktovi dekapitirani, kako bi se tijelo lišilo semantičkog biološkog značenja i pretvorilo u skulpturu, dok je crna pozadina dodatno naglasila oštrinu ruba i jasnoću linije. Kako autorice navode: Ispitujući mogućnosti položaja tijela hvatamo njegovu skulpturalnost čija se forma promatraču dodatno objašnjava potezima kista. Međusobno povjerenje i eklektičnost u promišljanju iznjedrili su svojevrsni intimni performans dviju umjetnica koji je postao platforma za nadogradnju i nastavak rada. Ove fotografije su trenutačan rezultat koji su polučile kroz uživanje u procesu rada bez ograničenja. Samo jedan bljesak, cilj ispunjen. No put su tek počele tabati zajedničkom koracima. Opcije za istraživanje su tek otvorene. Kako Alma kaže: “Cijeli život je istraživanje, ne bojim se da moram doći do nečega.” KUSTOSICA: Ivana Vukušić KUSTOSICE PROGRAMA NMG: Ivana Vukušić, Natasha Kadin, Tina Vukasović Đaković DIZAJN: Nikola Križanac POSTAV I DOKUMENTACIJA IZLOŽBE: Tihana Mandušić DONATORI: Ministarstvo kulture RH, Grad Split, Splitsko-dalmatinska županija MAVENU PODRŽAVA: Nacionalna zaklada za razvoj civilnog društva, Zaklada Kultura nova ZAHVALE: KUM, PDM, HULU, MKC kulturpunkt.hr/content/ostrina-ruba-tijela klfm.org/alma-strkljevic-josipa-krolo-crta-akt/ pdm.hr/alma-strkljevic-i-josipa-krolo-crta-akt/
