Description
Dimitrije Bašičević Mangelos was an influential artist, curator and art critic who was associated with the avant-garde Gorgona Group, a renowned collective of Yugoslav artists and thinkers who worked together from 1959 to 1966. From the beginning of his art activity, his primary materials were notebooks, slates, globes, and ready-mades, which he transformed and reinterpreted by inscribing them with letters, words, sentences, Cyrillic or Glagolitic characters and sometimes longer texts in Latin. His approach was deeply grounded in philosophy and aimed to investigate the prospect of painting after the experience of wartime and devastation. The result of his investigation was a unique form of anti-art that established a direct relationship between image and text. The work of Mangelos has been presented in various notable international exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern, London; Serralves Museum, Porto; Kröller-Müller Museum, Otterlo; Venice Biennale; Carnegie Museum of Art, Pittsburgh; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; Carré d’Art Musée d’Art Contemporain, Nîmes; HKW, Berlin; and many others. His works are found today in eminent public and private collections.
