Guided tour / For my eyes only

Saturday, 1 June 2013 at 11:00
guided by: Vasa J. Perović, owner of the VJP collection and Maja Vardjan, co-curator of the exhibition
The VJP collection has been compiled over the last 20 years and includes the global names of visual art and design from the 1970s to present. It contains works by over 150 authors from Europe, USA, South America and Asia. The collection is very private and highly unusual, yet without the tendency to be eccentric and exaggerated. With its design and artworks it offers a possible scenography for a 21st century monastic order: meditative, intelligent, strict and slightly erotic. Owner of the exhibited collection Vasa J. Perović will held a guided tour of the exhibition.
