Restless Eye

The catalogue accompanying the survey exhibition Restless Eye at the City Art Gallery Ljubljana offers a comprehensive insight into more than six decades of creation by one of the most intriguing Slovenian artists. The publication features essential texts by curators Barbara Sterle Vurnik and Dejan Sluga, and by art historian Dr. Lev Menaše, illuminating Jagodič’s rich interdisciplinary practice – from drawing, photomontage and X-ray art to performance and complex assemblages. In addition to documenting the exhibition layout, the catalogue includes an extensive selection of reproductions of key works from the 1960s, 70s and 80s, revealing artistic breakthroughs, influences of historical avant-gardes and the artist’s distinctly socially critical stance.

A particular value of the catalogue lies in the meticulously crafted design by Studio Kabinet 01, led by Jan Jagodič, whose thoughtful visual rhythm and contemporary graphic language complement the conceptual character of the exhibition. This representative bilingual catalogue is intended for both experts and lovers of contemporary art – an essential companion to one of the most important presentations of Jagodič’s oeuvre to date.
