Summary:	"The volume is dedicated to the work of TARWUK, presented for the first time in Italy at the Maramotti Collection in Reggio Emilia. TARWUK - a collective of artists including Bruno Pogacni, Tremow and Ivana Vukic, Croatian artists based in New York - works on the human figure which, reworked into sculptures looking mutant and tormented, illustrates the result of a profound research on identity and on the signs that memories and unconscious tensions impress upon the bodies, physically modeling them. Born in socialist Yugoslavia and raised in the Balkans during the period of the Croatian war of independence (1991-'95), TARWUK consider their sculptures symbolic places of loss and conflict subject to anatomical dissection, but also organisms which contain, potentially, a dimension of regeneration and rebirth. The drawings - to be considered as fully autonomous works - are also of great interest. They appear dreamlike and immediate, and welcome symbolist echoes and Viennese secessionism: a period in which artists identified a balance between opposing tensions - death and beauty, decadence and decoration - and strived toward it"--Provided by publisher

Description
Summary:	A metamorphosis of the human form through four large-scale sculptures New York-based Croatian artist duo Tarwuk (Bruno Pogacnik Tremow and Ivana Vuksic) makes sculptures that seem to originate from an archaeological, totemic and relic-filled past, which, filtered through the present, are transformed into tormented, futuristic and sometimes dystopian fantasy creatures.
