Human beings have always been in constant interaction with nature. The early reminiscences of civilization and its culture testify to persistent bond between the humankind and world of flora and fauna the latter having gradually become an object of the formerˇs intensive perception. Various artists representing different cultural epochs have been inspired by nature as they chose concrete images from it and used them as signs, regulators, symbols or indicators of either heavenly or earthly spheres, top or bottom spaces. The dual system representing the conception of the relationship between human and nature in contemporary situation is not so explicit though. A human as a part of nature and nature elements as constituents of the civilized world in the age of global interconnectedness emphasize the blurred state of the borderline previously characterized by rather strict boundary disputes. The present collection is structured into two parts. Chapter 1 Insects in Real and Virtual World entails research papers that were presented at the scientific seminar four years ago ñ on June 5, 2008. It was the first manifestation of the mutual cooperation between two research institutes of Daugavpils University, i.e., The Institute of Systematic Biology and the Institute of Comparative Studies. The idea of collaboration between philologists and biologists arose due to the recognized and at the same time evergrowing value of interdisciplinary research. Taking into consideration that significant opinions often go beyond the reach of a single discipline Prof. ArvÓds Barevskis, the rector of Daugavpils University and at that time the director of the Institute of Systematic Biology, who is well known in the entomological community for his discoveries of new species of insects, and Prof. Fjodors Fjodorovs, the director of the Institute of Comparative Studies, a literary scholar and devoted researcher of different cultural phenomena, commonly teamed up for one idea. Research articles were planned to be published in a separate issue of Baltic Journal of Coleopterology published and distributed with the support of Daugavpils University. Unfortunately the economic situation brought this intent to a halt. The idea has materialized at another time and in a different format. The papers included in the chapter under the title of the seminar are a reflection of the sunny day on the bank of the lake in Kurcums village 20 km from Daugavpils where among the scientific target audience grasshoppers were chirring, flies ñ buzzing, butterflies ñ fluttering, gnats ñ sneezing, beetles ñ moving, bees ñ murmuring, dragonflies ñ dancing, ladybirds ñ perching, ants ñ hustling and bustling. To extend the relatively narrow thematic sector marked by the scientific seminar, some other authors were invited, whose contribution forms the Chapter 2 of the compilation Animals and Animalistic Representations in Literature. The editor of the collection hopes that each reader of the issue will find useful information and specific inspiration for new discoveries on the investigated phenomena to be included as valuable material in the following issues of Comparative Studies! Ilze KaË‚ne . .. INSECTS IN REAL AND VIRTUAL WORLD . Fjodors Fjodorovs INSECTS IN THE SPACE OF CULTURE Summary Since ancient times insects have been the object of intensive perception by a human. In the mythological world picture insects used to be not just a segment of space but its signs, its regulators. Initially, the world of insects, like the human world, was divided into positive, which was represented by bees and ladybirds, and the negative one, represented by harmful insects. History of culture is the history in which insects are considered in the light of their conformity to ethical and aesthetical mechanisms. In this respect, they are represented either as ëharmfulí creatures or totally withdrawn from the fictional and aesthetic works, or ñ during the epochs of relativity ñ as creatures endowed with both beauty and ethics. Keywords: The Old Testament, Donne, LotrÈamont, Kafka, locust, flea, louse, transformation, metamorphosis, religion, culture * Human has always been in constant contact with insects. Since ancient

    KNIFER, MANGELOS, VANIŠTA September 8 – October 3, 2015 1018 Madison Avenue, New York Opening Reception: Tuesday, September 8, 6 – 8 pm NEW YORK, August 7, 2015 – Mitchell-Innes & Nash is pleased to present an exhibition of works by three of the founding members of the Gorgona Group: Julije Knifer, Mangelos and Josip Vaništa. The Gorgona Group – whose name references the monstrous, snake-haired creatures of classical Greek mythology – was a radical, Croatian art collective active in Zagreb from 1959 to 1966, which anticipated the Conceptual Art movement that emerged in several countries in Europe and America in the 1970s. Loosely organized and without a singular aesthetic ideology, the group was defined by the “gorgonic spirit,” which tended toward nihilism and „anti-art‟ concepts. The exhibition will take place in concurrence with MoMA‟s upcoming show, Transmissions: Art in Eastern Europe and Latin America, 1960 – 1980, and will feature a selection of paintings, works on paper and sculpture dating from 1947 to 1990 to be exhibited in the United States for the first time. The exhibition will be on view from September 8 through October 3, 2015 at 1018 Madison Avenue in New York. Julije Knifer was born in Osijek, Croatia in 1924 and died in Paris in 2004. While Knifer‟s work stems from the Russian school of Suprematist painters, his practice evolved towards an almost exclusive exploration of “the meander”: a geometric, maze-like form of Classical origins composed of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines. This motif appears in the second issue of Gorgona, the group‟s anti-review magazine, which was conceived by Knifer and designed so the pages produce an endless, meandering loop.

  • GORGONA 1959 – 1968 Independent Artistic Practices in Zagreb Retrospective Exhibition from the Marinko Sudac Collection
    GORGONA 1959 – 1968 Independent Artistic Practices in Zagreb Retrospective Exhibition from the Marinko Sudac Collection 14 September 2019 – 5 January 2020 During the period of socialism, art in Yugoslavia followed a different path from that in Hungary. Furthermore, its issues, reference points and axes were very different from the trends present in other Eastern Bloc countries. Looking at the situation using traditional concepts and discourse of art in Hungary, one can see the difference in the artistic life and cultural politics of those decades in Yugoslavia, which was between East and West at that time. The Gorgona group was founded according to the idea of Josip Vaništa and was active as an informal group of painters, sculptors and art critics in Zagreb since 1959. The members were Dimitrije Bašičević-Mangelos, Miljenko Horvat, Marijan Jevšovar, Julije Knifer, Ivan Kožarić, Matko Meštrović, RadoslavPutar, Đuro Seder, and Josip Vaništa. The activities of the group consisted of meetings at the Faculty of Architecture, in their flats or ateliers, in collective works (questionnaires, walks in nature, answering questions or tasks assigned to them or collective actions). In the rented space of a picture-framing workshop in Zagreb, which they called Studio G and independently ran, from 1961 to 1963 they organized 14 exhibitions of various topics - from solo and collective exhibitions by group's members and foreign exhibitors to topical exhibitions. The group published its anti-magazine Gorgona, one of the first samizdats post WWII. Eleven issues came out from 1961 to 1966, representing what would only later be called a book as artwork. The authors were Gorgona members or guests (such as Victor Vasarely or Dieter Roth), and several unpublished drafts were made, including three by Pierre Manzoni.
