Case report
Four Memorial Monuments by Nenad Fabijanić; Exhibition and monograph
Ivana Krmpotić
Abstract
The publication entitled Four Memorial Monuments by Nenad Fabijanić provides an in-depth insight into the exhibition of the same name set in the fall of 2019 in Glyptotheque of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts. The conceptual backbone of the whole project is the theme of the memorial and collective memory in the context of contemporary architectural discourse. Four projects for the memorial spaces in the urban fabric cover a span of twenty years. Their comparison and systematic presentation shows a paradigm shift in the realm of experience and treatment of the sculpture during that period (1998-2018) as well as its transfer into the spatial medium of architecture which makes the given theme particularly relevant today. The exhibition in the Glyptotheque of the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts is a rare example of the presentation of an architectural oeuvre whose layout and concept depart from the purely documentary presentation of the exhibits. The gallery becomes the scene of a performance, a transcendental space of installation and carefully directed shots, in which a collective message and a warning hang over the exhibits, while crime becomes a matter of individual consciousness.
