Description

Tent. Zagreb, Museum of Contemporary Art, 17-04-2012, 13-05-2012. - The core of the project is an internet data base, which comprises and presents digitized materials from the collections, archives, and libraries of museums-partners, as well as from various private archives. These materials largely consist of unconventional artworks and publications, which at the time of their creation, in the period from 1960s-1980s, evaded being enclosed in museum collections and glass cases. Today their rarity and fragility demands special protection, which is mostly contrary to the principles that had originally triggered their creation. Digitized units presently include the archival materials of Gorgona Group, Working Collective of Artists Podroom, New Artistic Practice, and the Gallery of Extended Media, as well as a number of artist albums and art magazines from the documentation, collections, and library of MSU Zagreb, the archive of OHO Group from Modern Gallery in Ljubljana, the collection of conceptual art at the Museum of Contemporary Visual Arts in Vojvodina, and the photography opus of Eustachy Kossakowski, related to the events around Foksal Gallery
