From 8th December 2022 to 29 January 2023, the National Museum of Modern Art presents a retrospective exhibition of the visual artist, art critic and theorist Željko Kipke, titled From Rhythm to The Exterminating Palace.
The exhibition concept, which is divided into seven segments and set-up in seven rooms on the first floor of the Vranyczany Palace, and combines film, ambient installations, paintings, photographs and prints, was devised by the artist himself, and it comprises his anthological works created in the period from 1977 to 2022.
This is an artist in whose oeuvre the chronological order in which individual works were made is not always of crucial importance; once his ideas are realised, they do not necessarily stay anchored in the spatial and temporal contexts they originated in, but will often carry within them the potential of temporal fluctuations of sorts, and thus also revitalisations of meanings.
