\nThe Thalberg Gallery, in cooperation with the Marinko Sudac Collection and the Institute for the Research of the Avant-Garde, is delighted to present the exhibition \u201eNEO DADA \u2013 GORGONA | Absurd Freedom, Marinko Sudac Collection<\/strong>“. The project is organized in conjunction with the Consulate General of the Republic of Croatia in Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland.
\n 
\nThe activities of Gorgona, a notable Neo-Avant-Garde group in Eastern Europe after the Second World War, were inspired by Dadaism. The works by its members are considered to be the preeminent artistic legacy of this movement, and will be on display at Thalberg Gallery in a retrospective overview of Gorgona\u2019s art practice. Gorgona formed as an art group in Zagreb, Croatia, in 1959 and existed until 1966. Its members were the painters Josip Vani\u0161ta<\/strong> (1924), Julije Knifer<\/strong> (1924 \u2013 2000), Marijan Jev\u0161ovar<\/strong> (1922 \u2013 1998) and \u0110uro Seder<\/strong> (1927) as well as the sculptor Ivan Ko\u017eari\u0107<\/strong> (1921) and Miljenko Horvat<\/strong> (1935 \u2013 2012), an architect who also painted and did photographed, along with art critics and art historians Radoslav Putar<\/strong> (1929 \u2013 1994), Matko Me\u0161trovi\u0107<\/strong> (1933) and Dimitrije Ba\u0161i\u010devi\u0107 Mangelos<\/strong> (1921 \u2013 1987), plus a number of connected informal members and friends of the group.<\/p>\n

Gorgona’s activities encompass collaborative works, Gorgonic Demeanour-actions, meetings and excursions, written surveys and correspondences (“Thoughts for Months”). They also published 11 issues of the Gorgona Anti-Magazine, including a few unpublished drafts. Between 1961 and 1963, they rented the exhibition space Salon \u0160ira, which they re-named Studio G, and organized a series of group and solo exhibitions of Gorgona members and invited guests, such as the artists Fran\u00e7ois Morellet and Piero Dorazio.
\n 
\nVarious exhibited works, archival photographs, documentation and correspondence by Gorgona members as well as those by prominent figures in the contemporary art scene of the time show that Gorgona was not an isolated phenomena rather than part of a wider and simultaneous development of important movements. It also indicates that Gorgona was an active participant in the European art scene during the post-war period, which had been built on the rich legacy of the first Avant-Garde and movements such as Dada.<\/p>\n

The exhibition has been conceived and curated by the distinguished art historian Je\u0161a Denegri.<\/p>\n

Concurrent with the exhibition Dadaglobe at the Kunsthalle Z\u00fcrich, Thalberg Gallery joins the elaborate program of events commemorating the centennial anniversary of Dada.
\n 
\nThe Marinko Sudac Collection<\/strong> is the most significant collection of Avant-Garde art and connected art practices from Eastern European. The Collection spans the years from 1922 until the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.<\/p>\n

The Institute for the Research of the Avant-Garde<\/strong> was established in 2010 as part of a project with the objectives to research, preserve, present and popularize regional historical Avant-Gardes. The Institute brings together the work of the Virtual Museum of Avant-Garde and the Marinko Sudac Collection.
