„Антилогика слике“- интеракција визуелног и писаног 9. 2. 2015.

My work in this show will be Fomorii General

Изложба слика „Антилогика слике“ и промоција истоимене књиге (збирке приповедака) идејног творца сликара Славка Крунића, одржаће се у понедељак, 9. фебруара од 19 часова у Ликовном салону Културног центра Новог Сада.

The Exhibition "Antilogika Image" and the promotion of the book (collection of short stories) curated by painter Slavko Krunić, will be held on Monday, February 9th at 19:00 hr in the Art Salon of the Cultural Center of Novi Sad.

„Антилогика слике“- интеракција визуелног и писаног

Окосница прича у књизи су слике, али сагледане кроз хумор, иронију, гротеску, апсурд… Ово занимљива комбинација подразумева интеракцију слике и текста, па су стога разни писци позвани да напишу кратке приче „према мотивима“ слике неког од предвиђених уметника. По одабиру Крунића састављена је листа од 15 сликара, а по предлогу Мирјане Огњановић, направљена је листа писаца.

Након новосадског представљања слика и књиге, планиране су изложбе и промоције збирке приповедака у другим градовима Србије, као и у Словенији, Бугарској, Црној Гори и Италији.

- „Антилогика слике“ има сасвим посебан положај међу књигама. Она се данас јавља у нарочитој форми пинакобиблиотеке, тј. збирке коју сачињавају сликарска и прозна дела. Збирка обухвата, поред осталог, и врхунске домете цивилизације: сатиру, гротеску, иронију и апсурд, који су посредством једног „породичног споразума“ склопљеног са новим сувереном из династије Хум-ор, послужили за испитивање бескрајних веза ликовних и књижевних искустава – рекао је Славко Крунић.

The backbone of the story in the book are pictures, but perceived through humor, irony, grotesque, absurd ... This interesting combination of the interaction of image and text, and therefore various writers were invited to write a short story, "according to themes" pictures of some of the most anticipated artists. By choosing Krunić composed a list of 15 artists, a proposal by Mirjana Ognjanović developed a list of writers.

After presenting the Novi Sad pictures and books are planned exhibitions and promotions collection of short stories in other cities of Serbia, as well as in Slovenia, Bulgaria, Montenegro and Italy.

- "Antilogika image" has a very special position among the books. It is now common in the particular form pinakobiblioteke, ie. collection consisting of paintings and prose. The collection includes, among other things, the top reaches of civilization: the satire, the grotesque, irony and absurdity, which means a "family agreement" concluded with the new sovereign dynasty Hum-or, were used for testing the endless connection of art and literary experience - said Slavko Krunić.

The Lost Thing is a 2000 picture book, written and illustrated by Shaun Tan. Set in the near future, in dystopian Melbourne, Australia, The Lost Thing is a story about Shaun who enjoys collecting bottle tops for his bottle top collection. One day, while collecting bottle tops near a beach, he discovers a strange creature, that seems to be a combination of an industrial boiler, a crab, and an octopus. This creature is referred to as "The Lost Thing" by the narrator.
