Branko Lenart: HAND:WORK

March 12 – April 9, 2010

The Photon Gallery presented the overview solo exhibition of valuable oeuvre of artist and photographer Branko Lenart, originating from two different periods of his artistic career. Selection of photographic works with the common title Hand:Work (1975 – 2009) is a testimony of an exceptionally important, central and broad “work in progress” series produced in two separated stages; the first from mid-1970s at the completion of his educational sciences studies, whilst the second refers to his post-2002 activity when the concept of artists outright presence in the artwork gained fresh impetus through new ideas. The broad Hand:Work (1975 – 2009) series represents a special line of artistic endeavour which – rather than frequently expressed documentary and feature photography – addresses the conceptualist manner of questioning the basic postulates of art as an integral part of life. In such a way, Branko Lenart enters the research of the artwork nature, the semantic characteristics of the language and direct reference to the breakthrough phenomena in the contemporary history of art.

This extensive exhibition will show photographs from both periods of Lenarts activity, arranged in pairs to establish the mutual relation between various periods of his creative endeavours. Thereby any photograph from 1970s will – through its significance and context – correspond to a newer “incarnation” of the series produced after 2002 on the basis of already established conceptual premises. As a final result of long standing artistic processes, this exhibition project illustrates one of the principal continuing and integral artworks in the oeuvre of Branko Lenart who – in a basic and direct manner – expresses his feelings and views of the world around him. The conceptual and intimate manner of artistic expression perceived in the Hand:Work (1975 – 2009) is distinguished within the rich artistic career of Branko Lenart as an essence of his photographic as well as general artistic reflection.
