Camera Austria\u00a0<\/strong>is hosting a promotion of a monograph of the Croatian conceptual artist, painter, poet and essayist\u00a0Vlado Martek<\/strong>, published recently by the\u00a0Office for Photography\u00a0<\/strong>(Zagreb, Croatia). The promotion, accompanied by an artist talk and presentation of Martek\u2019s artworks, will be held on\u00a0Thursday,\u00a023rd May at 7 PM<\/strong>, at the\u00a0Camera Austria\u2019s Berlin office at Kunstquartier Bethanien<\/strong>.

This publication is completely dedicated to Martek\u2019s work in photography, presenting the medium as a conceptual form. The book, entitled\u00a0Preparing for Photography<\/em><\/strong>, gathers a series of the author\u2019s works in the medium of photography, created in the period from the 1970s to today. According to the concept of the graphic editor\u00a0Rafaela Dra\u017ei\u0107<\/strong>, the publication is divided into three separate booklets \u2013 a booklet with a text by\u00a0Sandra\u00a0Kri\u017ei\u0107 Roban<\/strong>, a booklet with almost hundred reproductions,\u00a0and a booklet which contains an interview with the artist, providing a fresh insight into an extensive segment of his work and thoughts about art, mediums, text and meanings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn accordance with the tendencies of taking art as an open field, in which an artist could do whatever he thought he should be doing, and adopting the Fluxus principle of action in which there was no difference between art and life, and in which everyday life, routine, and banality were legitimate ways of artistic expression, from the mid-1960s Martek explored and experimented with various media. (\u2026) Photography has a special place in his oeuvre, primarily because it is \u2018closest to the words\u2019, as he says, close to poetry and and automatic script (\u2026). At some point, Martek started using photographs as finished poems, as hyper-content, accepting their volatile nature and their ability to function as background and an object, as a trace rather than evidence.\u201d\u00a0(from the text by Sandra Kri\u017ei\u0107 Roban)<\/strong><\/p>\n
