Ljubavnice

ZERO

27.05. – 31.05. 2015.

Exhibition opening on 27th of May at 7pm

While amalgamating materials and situations inside the space, the rhythm which incites circulation is gradually being built. That kind of emotion takes the weight off our knees and shoulders and talks to us, creating a dialogue between emotion and experience. By observing we see that we feel the invisible. By touching we see the emotion of invisibility. Soil is touch, a contact with no sharpness. To touch the air through soil? Whose hands did you feel? Who did take care of you, who used to stomp on you? Skin, dew, stone, forelock, tree, what comes first? Listening…carefully, back to Zero. Head on to Zero. Zero has the infinite direction of movements, shapes and eternity. Zero is not something that suggests or asserts. Zero is not a definition. When you enter Zero, you enter yourself. If you do not lay the borders within yourself, there will be no borders in Zero either.Duje Jurić was born  in Rupe 1956.

Ljubavnice is the name of an art collective, consisting of six young artists: Tamara Bilankov, Hrvoslava Brkušić, Stella Leboš, Luana Lojić, Ivana Pipal and Ana Vuzdarić. With a focus on multimedial installations, performances, lecture performances, including artistic and scientific researches on human perception, audio-visual media and cognition, the collective goals are finding new narratives of interaction within art, science, metaphysic, meditation, poetry, concepts and paraconcepts. The aim of the collective is to merge into an open creative discourse, while organizing platforms through public lectures, workshops and exhibitions.
