Form Specific

»Does it still make sense to speak about form as a relatively autonomous art system, of differentia specifica that distinguishes a work of art from life?

Works at the Form-Specific exhibition are heir to the non-illusionist line of modernist art, which reached its extreme and ultimate formulation in the syntagma: an art work is what you see and nothing else.

... This exhibition brings works of historical form-specific artists proving, in retrospect, that there has never been a universal character of modern art, and contemporary artists who have internalised this fact and built on the decayed myth of universal form to establish its confinement in different contemporary and historical contexts.« (Zdenka Badovinac).
