Damir Bartol Indoš među izlagačima na izložbi T-HT u Muzeju suvremene umjetnosti

Od 249 radova, koliko ih je ove godine pristiglo na natječajnu izložbu T-HT, među 40 odabranih našla se i instalacija Damira Bartola Indoša iz predstave ‘Kriegspiel’ koja je izvedena na prošlogodišnjem Festivalu Perforacije. 

‘Kriegspiel’ Damira Bartola Indoša i Tanje Vrvilo predstavlja inačicu šaha zasnovanom na Von Clausewitzovoj teoriji ratovanja i konkretnim Napoleonovim pohodima. Iako patent ‘Kriegspiela’ nije postao popularniji od šaha, u uskim krugovima ostao je fascinantan primjer kombinacije igre i teorijskog uvida. Damir Bartol Indoš već je desetljećima jedinstvena pojava na domaćoj izvedbenoj sceni, zagledan u obzor filozofije i ishodišta performansa. Bez obzira je li u njima primaran pokret, gesta, glazba ili tekst, njegovi su radovi uvijek i igra, i sve ono što je od igre puno ozbiljnije.

Među petero odabranih da izlažu u MSU-u u sklopu izložbe T-HT-a našao se i hrvatski queer umjetnik Sivio Vujičić kojeg pamtimo po zebri duginih boja iz postava ‘Tra/ns/vestije’ koja je bila sastavni dio Queer Zagreb festivala 2004. godine. U Muzeju suvremene umjetnosti biti će izložena Vujičićeva nova instalacija koja se sastoji od devet uokvirenih radova i jednog prostornog objekta koji se mijenjaju tijekom izložbe, kako su transformacije materije jedna od osnova Vujičićeva rada.

Nekoliko radova pristiglih na ovogodišnju izložbu posvećeno je liku i djelu Tomislava Gotovca, pa se ovogodišnje T-HT izdanje može shvatiti i kao mali hommage tom velikom umjetniku koji je svojim beskompromisnim djelovanjem ostavio nezamjenjiv trag ne samo u kontekstu hrvatske nego i svjetske suvremene umjetnosti.

Nagrađeni postav svečano se otvara večeras, 24. veljače, s početkom u 20 sati a može se pogledati narednih mjesec dana, do 25. ožujka.

Damir Bartol Indoš among the exhibitors at the show T-HT in the Museum of Contemporary Art. 

Out of 249 submissions for the Exhibition T-HT at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Zagreb, 40 were selected. In this selection there is Damir Bartol Indoš’s installation from the play „Kriegspiel“ which was performed at last year’s Perforations Festival.

Damir Bartol Indoš’es and Tanja Vrvilo’s „Kriegspiel“ presents a version of chess based on Von Clausewitz theory of warfare and Napoleon’s specific campaigns. Although the patent of „Kriegspiel“ did not become more popular than chess, in tight circles it remained a fascinating example of a combination of game and theoretical insights. Damir Bartol Indoš has been for decades a unique phenomenon in the local performing scene, gazing into the horizon of philosophy and performance outcomes. Regardless of wether the priority is the movement, gesture, music or text, his pieces were always a game, and everything that is much more serious than the game.

Five works exhibited weren’t submitted but were selected by the curators ot the Museum of Contemporary Art as part of the exhibition T-HT. In this selection of 5 there was also the Croatian queer artist Silvio Vujičić which we remember for his zebra with colors of the rainbow from the setup „Tra/ns/vestije“ which was an integral part of the Queer Zagreb Festival on 2004. The new instalation of Vujičić will be exhibited in the Museum of Contemporary Art. It consists of nine framed pieces and one physical object that changes during the exhibition, as transformations of material are the basis of Vujičić’s work.

Several pieces submitted to this year’s exhibition are dedicated to the character and work of Tomislav Gotovac, so this year’s T-HT release can be understood as a small homage to this  great artist whose uncompromising work has left and irreplaceable mark not only in Croatian, but also in international contemporary art.

The winning exhibition officially opened on February 24 and can be seen until March 25.
