Synopsis

The exhibition comprises four chapters. The artist’s production in his OHO years is presented with a number of his rapid installations in parks, forests, fields, and rivers: working with wooden sticks, string, candles or rolls of paper, Matanovič injected simple interventions into the sites as part of OHO’s Summer Projects. His later work in the Pomegranate Center, where he made his skills available to what communities wanted to create, is showcased with parks and community gathering places collectively designed and built using local materials and expertise. “Art fitness” refers to his lifelong practice of drawing, started at an early age and now resulting in works in pencil, watercolor, ink, and simple sculptures. The last part of the exhibition is dedicated to the artist’s current solo work: he is showing a new series of installations that will show how his post-OHO art practice would have progressed had he continued in that vein.
