Ekstrava­ gantne banalnosti Od običnoga i svakodnevnoga do umjetnički unikatnoga, ekskluzivnoga i ekstravagantnoga Višnja Slavica Gabout

Ekstravagantnost je u umjetnosti, osobito onoj modernoj i suvremenoj, oduvijek bila karakteristika kreativnih i maštovitih autorskih osobnosti. Osobnosti koje ne mare za norme, odmiču se od ustaljenoga i konvencionalnoga, nadilaze granice svakodnevnoga i očekivanoga, pa se dotiču ekskluzivnoga i iznimnoga – ali i provokativnoga, bizarnoga i ekscentričnoga. Ekstravagantno se u osnovi odnosi na sve što je neobično, čudno i izazovno.

U novije vrijeme međutim, značenje ovoga pojma se uslojilo, a hermeneutički okvir proširio, pa se u kontekstu novih paradigmi ekstravagantnost iščitava kao nešto izuzetno i čudesno; izvanserijski unikatno i visokovrijedno; zanimljivo i nekonvencionalno; ludički maštovito i duhovito. Već su se Marcel Duchamp, dadaisti i nadrealisti, a ponajviše pop-artisti, poigrali ovim značenjem, vežući ekstravagantnost uz njezinu suprotnost – banalnost. Pretvarajući, promjenom konteksta, obično, svakodnevno, trivijalno i serijski uniformirano, u ekskluzivno i umjetnički visokovrijedno.

U ekstravagantno. Uveli su tako jednu novu estetiku i novi vizualni sustav, koji je uzdigao svakodnevne, banalne, uporabne i odbačene (trash) predmete na razinu ekstravagantnih umjetničkih objekata visoke kvalitete.

Premda je pop-art već odavno pospremljen u povijest moderne umjetnosti, budući su njegovi zvjezdani trenuci prohujali pedesetih i šezdesetih godina prošloga stoljeća, on ipak za sobom nije izbrisao tragove, već ih je ostavio vidljivima, pa njima – u zavisnosti od vremena, prostora, autorskih izričaja i društvenih prilika, na svoj način koračaju umjetnici i danas. Njegova komunikativnost, otvorenost, nekonvencionalnost i karakteristična ironična duhovitost zadržali su za autore i u suvremenosti neodoljivu privlačnost, pokazavši kako je popartistički idiom, sa svojim temama i sadržajima, kao i sa svojom naklonjenošću ironiji, cinizmu i provokaciji – ali i humoru, adaptibilan autorskim individualnostima različitog diskursa. Adaptibilan i sadašnjem vremenu, kao i aktualnim temama i narativima suvremene umjetnosti. Mlada generacija suvremenih umjetnika zato je osamdesetih i devedesetih godina 20. stoljeća oživjela popartistički stilski idiom, (re)definirala ga u duhu suvremene umjetnosti i nazvala neo (ili post) popart. On ima onu svježinu, neposrednost i svojevrsnu drskost karakterističnu za pop-art, ali je sad prilagođen trenutku, s drukčijom semiotikom te s kritičkim i aktivističkim diskursom prema društvu i svakodnevici. Ono što je bila i ostala konstanta, to je inspiracija predmetima i

sadržajima svakodnevice te otvorenost, komunikativnost, demokratičnost i pristupačnost. Ono što je drukčije, to je okrenutost individualnosti i individualnim interpretacijama u popartističkom duhu, a nalazimo ih ne samo u vizualnim umjetnostima, nego i u dizajnu, unutarnjem uređenju, modi – i nakitu.

Pop-art i njegov stilski idiom bili su i Sekciji za oblikovanje plemenitih kovina i umjetničkog nakita ULUPUH-a inspiracija za koncepciju i realizaciju izložbe „Ekstravagantne banalnosti“. U svojim nakitnim skulpturama i objektima, kao i nosivim nakitnim instalacijama autori tu kreativno slijede s jedne strane strategije i prakse u suvremenoj umjetnosti, posebno suvremenoj skulpturi, dok s druge strane dohvaćaju beskrajnu slobodu popartističkog izražavanja. Pritom se poigravaju maštovitom kombinatorikom pretvorba i metamorfoza (konteksta, zbilje, uporabnoga-neuporabnoga, funkcije-disfunkcije, realnoga-irealnoga, trivijalnoga-ekskluzivnoga), stvarajući od svijeta stvarnosti svijet fantazmagoričkih, ludičkih priča, u kojem i oni mali i oni nevažni predmeti imaju važnost monumenata. Svijet gdje su plemeniti materijali združeni s neplemenitima – nelikovnima, pronađenima, ready-made, potrošnima, organskima, čak jestivima,

Ekstravagantne banalnosti / Extravagant Trivialities

pa se odnos jeftinoga i dragocjenoga postavlja u nove vrijednosne okvire, ulazeći u područje umjetnosti. U ovom slučaju, u područje suvremene skulpture, koja se tu veže uz ljudsko tijelo i pritom odašilje zanimljive autorske priče, nekad u svojoj podlozi noseći elemente ironije (Gross, Bellante, Naerlović), nekad bizarnosti (Krušelj, Vitez, E. Lumezi), a nekad neočekivane duhovitosti (Šuk, Petrinjak, Podnarčuk). Ove popartističke nakitne skulpture izazivaju posebnu pozornost zato što su stalni „pokretni objekt“ i stalna „pokretna instalacija“, pa sve djeluje promjenjivo u vremenu i prostoru; performerski. A uz to i izrazito nekonvencionalno, provokativno, „otkačeno“ – i ekstravagantno, jer su elementi „instalacija“ i objekata naizgled inkompatibilni i u kontrapunktu, ali harmonizirani i estetski usklađeni. Valja tu napomenuti kako je stvaralaštvo jednog od velikana pop-arta, Claesa Oldenburga – njegove skulpture naopakih položaja, poremećenih dimenzija (malo je veliko – i obrnuto) i kontradiktorne haptičnosti (soft sculpture), upravo zbog svoje popartističke kiparske komunikacije grupi umjetnika s ove izložbe bilo inspiracija.

Zato se pojavljuju kao duhovita asocijacija na Oldenburga u radovima Nearlović, Odrčić, Podnarčuk i Petrinjak.

Pop-art je do današnjih dana širokoj publici ostao blizak jer koristi iz svima znanog repertoara razumljivi vizualni rječnik. Zato i razgovor s publikom nikad tu nije s distance, nego predstavlja otvoreni dijalog. Dijalog kakav vode i radovi autora izložbe „Ekstravagantne banalnosti“. Radovi koji međutim, unatoč raspričanosti, nadilaze banalnost i djeluju poetično, bajkovito, a ponajviše ekstravagantno. Ali pritom i popartistički komunikativno.

Extravagant Trivialities From the common or garden to the artistically unique, exclusive and extravagant ViĹĄnja Slavica Gabout

Extravagance has in art, especially the modern and contemporary version, always been a characteristic of creative and imaginative artist personalities.

Personalities that do not need norms, that sidestep the settled and conventional, transgress the borders of the everyday and the expected, and are concerned with the exclusive and the exceptional, as well as with the provocative, bizarre and eccentric. The extravagant in essence refers to all that is uncommon, strange and provocative. In more recent times, however, the meaning of this concept has stratified, and the hermeneutic frame has expanded, and in the context of the new paradigms extravagance is read as something exceptional and marvellous, as out of the common run, unique and highly valuable, interesting and unconventional, ludic, fanciful and witty. This meaning has already been played with by Marcel Duchamps, the Dadaists and the Surrealists, above all by the Pop Artists, combining extravagance with its opposite, triviality and banality.

By a change in the context, the common or garden, the trivial and the uniformity of mass production is turned into the exclusive and the artistically highly valuable. Into the extravagant. Thereby they introduced a new aesthetic and a new visual system, which elevated

4

everyday, trivial, use and trash objects to the level of extravagant artistic objects of high quality.

Although Pop was long since packed up into the history of modern art, since its glittery moments whistled through the 1950s and 1960s, it did not, nevertheless, erase all traces of itself, but left them visible, and artists still today keep in line with them, depending on the time, space, authorial idiom and social conditions, Its communicativeness, openness, unconventionality and characteristic ironical wit have retained for artists in the present time even an irresistible attractiveness, showing that the Pop Art idiom, with its themes, content, its penchant for irony, cynicism and provocation, as well as for humour, is adaptable to authorial individualities of a different discourse. And also adaptable to the current time, to current topics and to the narratives of contemporary art. The younger generation of contemporary artists, then, in the eighties and nineties revived the Pop stylistic idiom, redefining it in the spirit of contemporary art, calling it neo- or post-Pop. It has the same fresh immediacy and as it were brashness that characterises Pop, but now adjusted to the moment, with a different semiotics and addressing soci-

ety and the quotidian with a critical and activist discourse. What has remained a constant is the inspiration provided by objects and contents of everyday life as well as its openness, communicativeness and democratic accessibility. What is different is the turn to individuality and individual interpretations in the spirit of Pop Art, to be found not only in the fine arts, but also in design, interior design, fashion and jewellery.

Pop and its stylistic idiom provided the Precious Metals and Artistic Jewellery Design Section of ULUPUH with its inspiration for the conception and production of the exhibition Extravagant Trivialities. In its jewel-sculptures and objects, as well as wearable jewelinstallations, the authors here creatively follow on the one hand the strategies and practices of contemporary art, particularly contemporary sculpture, while on the other hand they have attained the ultimate freedom of Pop Art expression. They play with an imaginative combinatorics of transformation and metamorphosis (of context, reality, use/non-use, function/dysfunction, real/ irreal, trivial/exclusive) creating of the world of reality a world of phantasmagoric and ludic tales, in which the little and the unimportant object have the

Ekstravagantne banalnosti / Extravagant Trivialities

weightiness of monuments. A world in which precious materials are combined with the lowly, the non-artistic, found, ready-made, consumable, organic and even edible. The relation between cheap and expensive is placed into a new frame of evaluation, entering into the area of art. In this case, into the domain of contemporary sculpture, related here to the human body, while transmitting interesting authorial tales, sometimes at their base with elements of irony (Gross, Bellante, Naerlović), sometimes with some bizarrerie (Krušelj, Vitez, E. Lumezi), and sometimes with unlooked for witticisms (Šuk, Petrinjak, Podnarčuk).

These Pop Art-ish jewel-sculptures excite particular attention because they are constant “moveable objects” and constant “moveable installations”, everything seeming variable in time and space, performerly. And in addition also markedly unconventional, provocative, laid back, and extravagant too, for the elements of the installations and the objects are at first sight incompatible, but counterpointed, harmonised and aesthetically attuned. Worth mentioning here is that the work of one of the greats of Pop, Claes Oldenburg – his sculptures with their inverted positions, disrupted dimensions (little being big and vice

5

versa) and their contradictory feel (soft sculptures) – has been precisely because of its Pop Art sculptural communication an inspiration to this group of artists.

There are amusing references to Oldenburg, then, in the works of Nearlović, Odrčić, Podnarčuk and Petrinjak.

Pop art has remained close to the general public to this day for it uses an intelligible visual vocabulary drawn from a repertoire known to all. And so the conversation with the public conducted at a distance, and is, rather, an open dialogue. A dialogue of the kind conducted by the works of the artists of the exhibition Extravagant Trivialities. Works that however, whatever their volubility, rise above triviality and banality and come across as poetic, fairy-tale-ish and most of all extravagant. But also, communicative in the manner of Pop Art.
