O izložbi
(English below)
Galerija savremenih umjetnosti Manifesto sa zadovoljstvom najavljuje otvaranje grupne izložbe „Ukrštenica“, koje će biti upriličeno u subotu, 4. aprila 2026. godine u 20:00 sati na sada već poznatoj adresi - Despićevoj 3.
Križaljka, ukrštenica ili igra ukrštenih riječi još od početka prošlog stoljeća ima sigurno mjesto u posljednjim rubrikama novinskih izdanja – poslije vijesti iz dnevne politike, crne hronike, pregleda stanja na tržištu i vanjskoj politici, list uz list stoje informacije iz oblasti kulture i nekolicina primjeraka enigmatike. Oboje u izvjesnoj mjeri zabavno, ali ne nužno i trivijalno, pomislilo bi se.
Kustoska koncepcija izložbe “Ukrštenica” nije zasnovana na publicističko-štamparskoj bliskosti enigmatike i kulture, ali jeste u logičko-metodološkoj strukturi igre ukrštenih riječi. Fonetskim križanjem riječi i bez semantičkih preplitanja, ukrštenice nude enigmu i zahtijevaju “rješenje”. S druge strane, izložba istoimenog naziva preuzima logiku formalnog ukrštavanja, ali metodologiju enigme izvrće naglavačke.
Osim što “ukrštene” poetike i umjetničke forme podrazumijevaju nekolicinu tematskih i konceptualnih bliskosti, a ne jednu konzistentu tačku susreta, postavka sama po sebi i ne poziva na čin “razrješenja” – ona je jedna od onih “ukrštenica” koje dostojanstveno postoje i onda kada su “napola popunjene”. Tako se sama svrha ukrštanja kao igre s konačnim rješenjem apsolutno poništava, a ono što preostaje jeste naglašavanje čas formalnih, čas poetskih, čas konceptualnih susreta šest umjetničkih praksi.
Izložba će predstaviti radove šest umjetnica i umjetnika iz Bosne i Hercegovine i regiona, Ane Evtić, Adrienn Ujhazi, Lamije Čehajić, Une Filipović, Harisa Hadžića i Harisa Sahačića.
Izložbom “Ukrštenica” Galerija Manifesto započinje svoj godišnji izložbeni program pod nazivom "TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO", a kroz koji nastoji predstaviti različite pristupe tehnici i tehnologiji, te istražiti prostore inter-, trans-, i post- disciplinarnog u savremenoj umjetnosti.
Svi zainteresirani izbložbu mogu pogledati u ustaljenim radnim terminima, od utorka do subote u periodu od 12:00 do 20:00 sati, te nedjeljom od 12:00 do 14:00. Izložba će biti postavljena do 19. aprila.
About the Exhibition
Gallery of Contemporary Arts Manifesto is pleased to announce the opening of the group exhibition Crossword, which will take place on Saturday, April 4, 2026, at 20:00, at the now well-known address – Despićeva 3.
The crossword puzzle, or word puzzle has, since the early twentieth century, held a secure place in the final sections of newspaper editions. Following daily political news, crime reports, market overviews, and international affairs, pages of cultural content appear alongside a handful of examples of enigmatics. Both may seem, to a certain extent, entertaining, yet not necessarily trivial.
The curatorial concept of the exhibition “Crossword” is not grounded in this publishing proximity between culture and enigmatics, but rather in the logical and methodological structure of the crossword puzzle itself. Through the phonetic crossing of words, without semantic overlap, crosswords offer an enigma and demand a “solution.” In contrast, the exhibition adopts the logic of formal intersection while turning the methodology of the enigma upside down.
While the “intersecting” artistic poetics and forms suggest a number of thematic and conceptual affinities rather than a single consistent point of encounter, the exhibition does not call for resolution. Instead, it exists as one of those “crosswords” that remain meaningful even when only partially filled. In this way, the very purpose of crossing as a game with a final solution is completely undone, leaving instead an emphasis on the formal, poetic, and conceptual encounters between six artistic practices.
The exhibition will present works by six artists from Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region: Ana Evtić, Adrienn Ujhazi, Lamija Čehajić, Una Filipović, Haris Hadžić, and Haris Sahačić.
With the exhibition “Crossword,” Gallery Manifesto launches its annual exhibition programme titled TECHNO TECHNO TECHNO, which aims to present diverse approaches to technique and technology, and to explore inter-, trans-, and post-disciplinary spaces in contemporary art.
The exhibition will be open to visitors during regular working hours, from Tuesday to Saturday, 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and on Sundays from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. The exhibition will remain on view until April 19.
