Opening of the exhibition Artificial
Date: 25. 07. 2026
Time: 19:00
You are kindly invited to the opening of the exhibition entitled Artificial that will take place on Saturday, 25 July 2026, at 7pm at lapidarium of Galerija Božidar Jakac.
The exhibition focuses on the meaning of so-called artificial structures, materials, and universes that appear in various realms of everyday life in the modern world. It critically addresses the ambiguous and complex question of the division between “natural” and “artificial,” which often proves to be a misleading concept, since all of artificial materials are still a results of the exploitation of natural resources. The exhibition brings together the works and practices of a wide variety of artists: Tin Dožić (HR), Simon Goritschnig (AT), Lara Reichmann (SI), and Andrea Zabric (AT/SI), who in a very different ways explore the phenomena of artificially made objects and images, anthropogenic structures, synthetic materials, and virtual worlds.
