G-MK | Miroslav Kraljević Gallery Joshua Goode 14.03.2014 - 29.03.2014 Opening 14.03.2014 at 7pm Miroslav Kraljević Gallery presents The Lost City, an exhibition by an American artist Joshua Goode. What is the history that we accept as exact science, and what do we perceive as fiction? How do we determine historical importance of people, places, and events? How is history written and interpreted? The society has given individuals the role of interpreters whose insights shape our views of the past, ultimately creating many alternative paths and contradictory views regarding our collective history. In the exhibition, The Lost City, American artist Joshua Goode will showcase the remnants of an underground city, a part of an imaginary ancient civilization. These ruins were found during an archeological research of multiple locations near the Miroslav Kraljević Gallery from March 11th to 14th. Posing as an archaeologist, Goode has publicly carried out an archaeological dig and discovered amazing lost treasures. During the excavation, the passersby have witnessed the discovery of objects of the lost city and contemplated the boundaries between reality and fiction. Joshua Goode will exhibit these found objects within the gallery space, temporarily transforming G-MK into a small archeological museum where reality and fiction become one.

By operating as an open platform and using the 'small step' approach, inside and outside of the gallery space, the gallery strives towards being a polyvalent source of progressive cultural and artistic production which ‘raises questions’. The gallery was initiated and founded in 1986 by a group of independent curators, artists, critics and art enthusiasts as an independent and non-for-profit institution in the framework of KUD INA. |
