Grafički medij danas prelazi granice postavljene u prošlosti i ograničenja tradicionalnih shvaćanja. Radovi koje smo zaprimili i koji su odabrani za skupnu izložbu pozicioniraju grafiku unutar suvremne umjetnosti Osobito smo ponosni što će se predstaviti dio velikog i iznimnog opusa Vaska Lipovca (Nagrada “Marko naglašavajaći važnost grafičkog znaka, svijest o reprodukciji, multi-originalnosti i demokratičnosti samog medija. Marulić” za rad na temu mora, I. Splitgraphic 2003) u sklopu ovogodišnjeg Splitgraphica u Staroj gradskoj vijećnici, nakon njegove samostalne izložbe 1996. u galeriji Studio Naranča i izložbe “Grafičke igre” 2007. u sklopu III.

Splitgraphic i izlaganje na središnjoj skupnoj izložbi objavljen je u veljači 2015. Na njega se prijavilo 395 umjetnika čiji će radovi ostati izloženi tijekom cijele godine u Online galeriji na web stranicama Splitgraphic bijenala. U drugi krug izbora prošlo je 297 umjetnika, a za izložbu je izabrano 97 grafičara. Marina Majić Petit Izbor za izložbu je izvršio stručni žiri ove godine iz online galerije Splitgraphic bijenala. Središnja skupna izložba se temelji na izboru međunarodnog žirija koji je odabrao kvalitetnu selekciju suvremenih grafika. Skupna se izložba sastoji od grafičkih listova koji se bave problemom grafike kao vizualnog jezika današnjice, propituju uvjete vlastitog nastanka, te u tematskom i tehničkom višeglasju donose odgovore na širinu suvremenih mogućnosti likovnog izražavanja. Skupna izložba “Tijelo: grafička umjetnost u Litvi 1980-2013” izložit će presjek litvanske grafičke umjetnosti s temom tijela. Izložba je organizirana u suradnji s Grafičkim centrom iz Vilniusa i kustosicama izložbe Jurgom Minčinauskienė i Kristinom Kleponytė-Šemeškienė. Splitgraphic je bio gost Grafičkog centra Vilnius u studenom 2014. godine kada je postavljena retrospektivna izložba povodom desetogodišnjice bijenala, pod nazivom “Splitgraphic 2003-2013: održiva retrospektiva”. Upravo su ta izložba u Vilniusu, kao i predavanje o Splitgraphic bijenalu, rezultirali činjenicom da se 2015. godine u Splitu ima priliku vidjeti litvanska grafika. Gostovanje Splitgraphic bijenala u Vilniusu utjecalo je i na velik broj litvanskih umjetnika koji su se prijavili na ovogodišnji Splitgraphic, te će mnogi od njih biti izloženi na skupnoj izložbi. Marta Lech, dobitnica Grand Prix-a 2013. bit će predstavljena samostalnom izložbom linoreza pod nazivom “Svjetlo“. Radi se o ciklusu grafika s kojim je poljska grafičarka dobila niz grand prix nagrada na različitim 2 3 VII Splitgraphic 2015—an introduction Marta Lech, the winner of Splitgraphic’s 2013 Grand Prix will present herself with the solo exhibition Graphic art as today’s visual language of linocuts entitled “Light”. This is a graphic cycle that earned the artist an array of grand prix awards at various festivals of graphic art, which made her one of the more significant artists on the contemporary graphic art scene. In 2015, Splitgraphic biennial is organised for the seventh time, and its topic this year is “Graphic art as Marta Lech’s achromatic linocuts are based on outlining objects and interiors with a beam of intermittent white today’s visual language”. The medium of graphic art today crosses the boundaries set in the past and exceeds the light. Marta Lech’s works are an example of the graphic art shown as a visual language of today—a dialogue limitations of its traditional understandings. Works we received that were selected to enter the group exhibition between the contemporaneity of the graphic sign and the traditional nature of the graphic technique. map out the location of graphic art on the contemporary art scene, they stress the importance of the graphic sign, the awareness of reproduction, multi-originality and the democratic nature of the medium itself. We are especially proud that a part of Vasko Lipovac’s extensive and exceptional opus (the “Marko Marulić” award for a work exploring the theme of the sea at the first Splitgraphic 2003) will be shown within this This year, Splitgraphic will host three group exhibitions—the central group exhibition, the student year’s Splitgraphic at the Old City Hall, after having hosted Lipovac’s solo exhibition in 1996 at the Studio Naranča selection and a group exhibition of Lithuanian graphic art—as well as two individual exhibitions, for Marta Lech and his exhibition “Graphic Games” at the third Splitgraphic biennial in 2007. The exhibition will show the artist’s and Vasko Lipovac. graphics and drawings and it is organised in collaboration with the Atelier Lipovac. The graphics and drawings The central group exhibition has since 2007 traditionally taken place in the space of the Old City will be accompanied by the sculpture “Blue Tree” on the ground floor of the Old Town Hall, the sculpture that had Hall on Pjaca. The exhibition will present 97 artists selected by the jury. The call for this year’s Splitgraphic already visited Studio Naranča in 1996 and was publically exhibited in the Vukovarska Street in front of Vaska and the exhibition was published in February 2015. Altogether 395 artists applied and their works will be Lipovac’s atelier. exhibited in the Online Gallery at Splithraphic’s website throughout the year. We have shortlisted 297 artists, We look forward to seeing the Blue Tree return to Split’s everyday life! while 97 of those will take part in the central exhibition. A jury of experts formed the selection of exhibits from Splitgraphic’s Online Gallery. The central group exhibition is based on the international jury’s choice, whose members decided on Marina Majić Petit a selection of high-quality contemporary graphic art. The group exhibition is comprised of works that tackle the problem of graphic art as a visual language of our times, works that question the conditions of their own creation, while proposing thematically and technically polyphonous answers to the breadth of contemporary expression in fine art. Group exhibition “Body: Graphic Art in Lithuania 1980-2013” will show a cross section of Lithuanian graphic art that deals with the topic of the body. The exhibition is organised in collaboration with the Graphic Centre in Vilnius and the show’s curators Jurga Minčinauskienė and Kristina Kleponytė-Šemeškienė. In November 2014 Splitgraphic was hosted by the Graphic Centre Vilnius with a retrospective exhibition marking the tenth anniversary of the biennial, entitled “Splitgraphic 2003-2013: Sustainable Retrospective”. That very exhibition, as well as the lecture that accompanied it, resulted in Lithuanian graphic art being presented to the Split audience this year. Splitgraphic’s visit to Vilnius likewise influenced the large number of Lithuanian candidates at this year’s biennial and many of them will have their works shown at the group exhibition. 4 5 1 ...popgrafik UK 42 Barbara Kasperczyk- Poljska/Poland 2 Adriana Adrya Moldavija/Moldova Gorlak 3 Adrianna Szwedkowicz Poljska/Poland 43 Barbara Niscior Poljska/Poland 4 Afsoon UK 44 Bartłomiej Chwilczyński Poljska/Poland 5 Agata Ciesielska Poljska/Poland 45 Basil Colin Frank Izrael/Israel 6 Agata Dworzak-Subocz Poljska/Poland 46 Beata Filipowicz Poljska/Poland 7 Aidan Flanagan Irska/Ireland 47 Beata Kolakowska Poljska/Poland 8 Akiko Hasegawa Japan 48 Benjamin Vasserman Estonija/Estonia 9 Alberto Balletti Italija/Italy 49 Bogdan Miga Poljska/Poland 10 Ale Maia e Pádua Brazil/Brasil 50 Borislava Borisova Bugarska/Bulgaria 11 Aleksandra Ilkiewicz Poljska/Poland 51 Branimir Karanović Srbija/Serbia 12 Aleksandra Matyka Poljska/Poland 52 Brian Kreydatus SAD/USA ONLINE 13 Aleksandra Supińska Poljska/Poland 53 Briar Craig Kanada/Canada GALERIJA 14 Alexander Frohberg Njemačka/Germany 54 Brita Weglin Švedska/Sweden 15 Algimantas Povilas Litva/Lithuania 55 Bruna Carev Hrvatska/Croatia ONLINE Kaveckis 56 Carol Hayman SAD/USA GALERY 16 Alicja Snoch-Pawlowska Poljska/Poland 57 Carrie Ann Plank SAD/USA 17 Alja Košar Slovenija/Slovenia 58 Cássia Silva Alves Brazil/Brasil 18 Ana - Marija Markežić Hrvatska/Croatia Gonçalves 19 Ana Goričanec Hrvatska/Croatia 59 Charley Openshaw UK 20 Ana Sabolić Hrvatska/Croatia 60 Chen Chuan Kina/China 21 Ana Sladetić Hrvatska/Croatia
