Neven Bilić: Ad infinitum

13. 09. 2019 – 09. 02. 2020

In the former monastery church of the Božidar Jakac Art Museum, a Croatian artist Neven Bilić presents his works for the first time to the Slovenian public with a solo exhibition titled Ad infinitum. The exhibition presents works created a decade ago, which, set in the former sacral space, establish new relationships and open new possibilities for their interpretation. The insight into the process of creation is one of the significant moments at which the dialogue between the artist, the work, and the viewer develops. In the process of articulation of artistic ideas, Neven Bilić has shown since the very beginning the sensibility towards non-traditional materials by tirelessly exploring their potential. He therefore experiments with different kinds of polymer, the so-called non-traditional materials, which transform into new shapes, geometric or organic, by applying creative and complex methods, thus revealing the infinite potential of formation. The fascination with various kinds of synthetic materials, the experimenting and detection of the optimal technological method constitute the basic creative principles of Bilić‘s work.

The exhibition was created in collaboration between the Galerija Božidar Jakac and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb (Muzej suvremene umjetnosti Zagreb).
