Title A name given to the resource Braco Dimitrijević Description An account of the resource Braco Dimitrijević was born in Sarajevo in 1948. After attending the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb between 1968 and 1971, he graduated from Saint Martin’s School of Art in London in 1973. In 1963, he created his first intervention in public space, Flag of the World, in which he replaced a national flag with a cloth used for cleaning paintbrushes. From the late 1960s onwards, he produced a series of works that set accidental processes in motion and asked strangers to sign them as works of art (Accidental Drawing, 1968; Painting by Krešimir Klinka, 1969). This approach, aimed at problematising the notion of authorship, also underpins the series devoted to “Casual Passers-by”, first presented in Zagreb in 1971 and, that same year, at the 6th Paris Biennale. The series involved placing large-scale photographic portraits of unknown people in urban spaces, presenting them as though they were important political figures or media celebrities. During the 1970s, he participated in documenta, Kassel (1972, 1976), and the Venice Biennale (1976), while his first retrospective was held at the Muzej suvremene umjetnosti in Zagreb (1973). During this period, he also began travelling to Italy, first invited to Naples by Lucio Amelio for a solo exhibition (1971), and subsequently to Turin by Gian Enzo Sperone, with whom he continued to work. In 1976, he published Tractatus Post Historicus, in which he challenged the linear and evolutionary nature of art-historical processes, and presented Tryptychos Post Historicus at the Nationalgalerie in Berlin, proposing an juxtaposition of pieces from the museum collection, anonymous everyday objects, and organic elements such as fruit and vegetables. The project was subsequently re-presented and further developed in numerous museums, including the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, the Tate Gallery in London, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Russian State Museum, and the Louvre in Paris. In 1981, on the occasion of his solo exhibition at Waddington Gallery in London, he juxtaposed the collection devoted to the masters of modern art with two live peacocks. His work with animals continued during the 1980s with installations presented at the Sarajevo Zoo (1983), culminating in a major solo exhibition organised at the Paris Zoo (1998).

Title A name given to the resource Lions walking freely in the Louvre Description An account of the resource In 1996 Braco Dimitrijević, interviewed by Jean-Hubert Martin for "Flash Art", said: If you look at the earth from the moon there is virtually no distance between the Louvre and the zoo. There are cages at the zoo just as there are in the Louvre. My ultimate aim is to remove the doors and see the lions at large in the Louvre. <a title="" name="_ftnref1" href="#_ftn1"></a>This utopian project, donated to MoRE, is part of that line of research based on the combination between major art exhibitions and live animals, which the artist began to develop in 1981 with the installation <a href="http://bracodimitrijevic.com/index.php?album=animals&image=animals_001.jpg">Dust of Louvre Mist of Amazon</a> at the Weddington Gallery, where he let two peacocks roam freely through the exhibition of modern art collections. The work that most closely resembles Lionson-line walking freely in the Louvre was realised by Dimitrijević in 1995 for the exhibition at the Hessisches Landesmuseum in Darmstadt. <a href="http://bracodimitrijevic.com/index.php?album=animals&image=animals_004.jpg">Against historic sense of gravity </a>featured pythons from the Zoo of Cologne set free inside a specially built platform (with a heated pool and an island) containing female portraits dating back between the 16th and 19th century. As Nena Dimitrijević, art historian and Braco's wife, recalls presenting the project, there’s a tension towards a utopian and unfeasible dimension that characterises his entire career: [Braco Dimitrijević] has managed to achieve many of his projects, that at first seemed impossible, because of his nature and ability to theoretically support his ideas. For example, his use of the façade for the portraits of unknown people encountered a lot of obstacles at the time and opened the chapter regarding the use of urban vocabulary in art. <a href="http://moremuseum.org/omeka/files/original/3ff1bd8eeeb5f0a882c605509d722ef0.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Read more.</a> Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Dimitrijević, Braco Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1996 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Zinelli, Anna Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource application/pdf Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource Text Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context <a href="http://dspace-unipr.cineca.it/handle/1889/3247" target="_blank" rel="noopener">http://dspace-unipr.cineca.it/handle/1889/3247</a> Rights Holder A person or organization owning or managing rights over the resource.
