Tomislav Čeranić

L’HORIZON CHIMERIQUE

November 18 – December 7, 2014

RING GALLERY

Whereas in the majority of artists drawing has a preparatory or accompanying status, in Tomislav Čeranić’s work it holds the status of a finished artistic result, autonomous sculptural organism, map that registers and brings to light the flow of labyrinthine path of the author’s extremely subjective imagination. For decades now Čeranić has been proving to the anxious modern world, in attractive and artistically compelling ways, that drawing can justifiably compete with other modern methods of artistic expression. Establishing drawing as independent and completely finished work, an autonomous discipline and independent creation, this artist of delicate and refined spirit does not decide to refer to the perceived reality, but instead he opts for escapism as the principle of detachment from the material interpretation of reality, for the creation of fictional worlds, purely fictional construction of images and shapes. In Čeranić’s work the utopianism of fictional reality, created with unique and virtuoso-drawings, segmented in interesting and always and completely, and in all aspects articulated cycles, comes before the message that the other media – when referring to reality – send to the observer in a clumsy way. Unlike the – old and new – figuration we usually encounter in the work of the local environment, his figuration is completely deprived of eschatological messages, and the only thing he wants to achieve is to provide himself with the opportunity for free self-disclosure in the conjunction of erudition and poetry, in a unique version of visual “schizotext“. Therefore, there are no artists in Croatia who are similar to him in style or language. Such artist remains an independent individual who speaks in the first person. He is more interested in using the language of autonomous sculptural logic and citation – it is like he is stateless, he remains enclosed in his own small intimate fictional world, but familiar, open and attractive to the visual sensibility of the present observer, who is thus easily motivated to dive into the meditative and subliminal space behind and below the image.(From the foreword Drawing as «schizotext» of  Ivica Župan )

MARJANA KRAJAČ

VARIATIONS ON SENSITIVE

The new work by choreographer Marjana Krajač is a three-hour performance at the Mestrovic Pavilion / Dom HDLU in Zagreb, which will be premiered on 18^th of October 2014 starting at 14 h, with performances on 19th, 20th, 21st and 22^nd of October also starting at 14 h.

This simultaneously complex and fragile consideration of the nature of dance, whose building material is just enough present in order to irrevocably dissapear,

is extensive, yet minimalistic dance session between sound and space.

Performed by dance artists Lana Hosni, Irena Mikec, Katarina Rilović, Irena Tomašić and Mia Zalukar, this long dance work invites you to spend time with it, coming gradually into the layers of its texture.

In her last works, Marjana Krajač embarked on a complex mission of revoking the very substance of a dance medium, exposing its own ontology and deconstructed historicity. In such intervention, that deals with the very nature of dance – Spinoza would call it natura naturata, modes and conditions of substance can seek its cause only in themselves. To dance a dance, means then also that the very dance must go through the experience itself. This suggests that something beyond the experiential horizon of dance can only be a projection of its function but not the dance itself. In such framework of interest, Marjana Krajač and five dance artists are asking relevant questions and opening up the space of joint consideration of metaphysical commitments and added meanings. What inhabits a dance event becomes part of its foundation.

Moving away from short-term effects of watching, this work calls for flexibility of time and experiential notion of a performance. VARIATIONS ON SENSITIVE are proposing this work as a community experience and the group experience, in any case, something that we share with others via watching. The Other, which is the mirror of what occurs, becomes important for our understanding of dance as an art of transfer. Transfer through the other and the friction on the other becomes the only area in which dance can construct some type of memory to itself. In this sense, the other is at the same time a witness and a participant.

The work was created in cooperation and residencies at Uferstudios / Tanzfabrik Berlin (Germany), Santarcangelo dei Teatri (Italy) and the Zagreb Dance Centre.

The work was realized with the support of the City of Zagreb, Croatian Ministry of Culture, Zagreb Dance Centre, Croatian Institute for Movement and Dance and the Croatian Association of Artists.
