ZDENKO MIKŠA
HOLD MY BEER/PEOPLE PLEASER
26.-28.4.2024.
KARAS GALLERY

On Friday, 26.4.2024. Zdenko Mikša opens his solo exhibition entitled Hold My Beer/People Pleaser, at 7 pm in Karas Gallery (Ulica kralja Zvonimira 58).

In her foreword, Marta Radman emphasizes:

Thirteen minutes before the application deadline for the exhibition at Karas Gallery, I learned a bit more about Zdenko’s new pop-up performance. At first glance, “Hold my Beer/People Pleaser” seems like a charming and somewhat self-indulgent jest. A used bathtub filled with water, ice and cans of Zden-Cola and Mikšićko beer, and the artist, Zdenko Mikša, in red swimming shorts and a bathrobe boldly immersing himself in the cold water. Yet beneath the surface lies a deeper exploration of artistic intention. (…)
Zdenko decided to condense the holy triad of art openings, the adoration of art, hedonistic socializing and drinking, into a unique performative act. At the same time, he has encouraged those gathered to reflect on the primary motives that drive them to attend art events.
