This is not a book! Item: BOOK<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

With the exhibition This is not a book! Item: BOOK<\/em> we mark half a century since the release of the first artist’s book in Slovenia. In 1996 Marko Poga\u010dnik self-published the handmade book Item: BOOK<\/em> in an edition of 60 copies. In the book Zmajeve \u010drte, ekologija in umetnost<\/em> [Dragon lines, ecology and art] (Obzorja, 1986) Poga\u010dnik wrote: \u201cIn the fall of 1965 I happened to fleetingly read some sentences from the newspaper Gorenjski glas that someone had carefully cut out onto strips of paper of the same format. I came across a sentence, which I later published in EVA as a motto of the series: ‘Towards the north are fewer and fewer trees, fewer and fewer plants, everything is in short supply, except for the vast expanse of snow and ice.’ [\u2026] In the following weeks I went deeply into the feeling that came over me alongside the vision of the disappearance of multiplicity and the appearance of singular whiteness. Then I dreamed of hunting a white polar bear in the completely white polar landscape, white on white. [\u2026] I materialized the inspiration of hunting a polar bear in the form of my first book with the title BOOK.\u201d<\/p>\n

Item: BOOK<\/em> joins Marko Poga\u010dnik to the inventor of the artist’s book in Europe, Dieter Roth (1959), and to Ed Ruscha in the USA (1963). The artist’s book is the visual medium that enabled the OHO movement (Marko Poga\u010dnik and Iztok Gaister, later also Matja\u017e Han\u017eek, Franci Zagori\u010dnik, Miljenko Matanovi\u0107, Braco Rotar, Toma\u017e \u0160alamun, etc.) to make a radical breakthrough into the visual arts world, bringing deviation, excess and provocation to the world of local modernism. Item: BOOK <\/em>announced numerous key novelties that were typical for the production of OHO’s books from 1966\u20131969: small editions, handmade by their authors and self-published. They were marked by do-it-yourself strategies, not only in terms of content, but aboveall by their intermedia nature.<\/p>\n

In Slovenia the OHO Group opened the chapter of independent publishing and independent artistic (self-)distribution. The idea of independent publishing itself is closely tied to the idea of the artist activist. Books \u2013 separated from the institutional framework \u2013 can thus circulate freely and are important objects of communication.<\/p>\n
