Zagreb’s French Pavilion, situated within the Student Centre in Zagreb, will host a retrospective of the most significant films made by the avant-garde Slovene group OHO, an artistic collective formed in the late 1960s. The retrospective opens tomorrow, on April 9, and it stays open until April 22.
The films represent a critique of the society and the problematic times that the group’s member Marijana Ciglić, Naško Križnar and Iztok Geister Plamen created in (1963 – 1971).
Topics include their projects in nature and urban space; they often incorporate popular rock music, there are psychedelic elements of the free spirit and hippie movement; they deal with the war, environment, gender identity and sometimes include popular and high culture references.
The exhibition is an introduction into the group’s big retrospective, to be held in Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève and MAMCO (Musée d’art moderne et contemporain) in Geneva in 2018.
