Alem Korkut: Corpus

07. 10. 2017 – 07. 01. 2018

In all respects in which the concept of the body is used (anatomy, geometry, oenology, politics, esoteric) the body represents a synonym for stability, strength and reliability. The sculptures in this exhibition entitled Corpus, which stem from basic geometrical forms (cubes, parallelepipeds), also lean upon these characteristics. However, similar to wine which loses its aroma through time, the physical body loses its firmness and strength. In the political sense the body is thus revealed and starts losing its reliability and clear contours, it no longer provides support, it starts to disappear, melt away.

Alem Korkut (1970) studied sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo and Zagreb, where he graduated in 1997. From 1998 to 2007 he was a member of Croatian Freelance Artists Association. He has been a member of the Croatian Association of Artists since 1998. Since 2007 he has been an Associate Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb.
