U galerijskom prostoru palače Fritzy u Malom Lošinju otvara se izložba pod nazivom“Incidenti“ umjetnice Dunje Janković koja živi i djeluje na relaciji Zagreb- Mali Lošinj- New York.

Dunja Janković pripada samom vrhu suvremene strip produkcije naših krajeva. Završila je Akademiju likovnih umjetnosti u Zagrebu, magistrirala strip i ilustraciju u New Yorku, sudjelovala na dvadesetak samostalnih i skupnih izložbi, djeluje u strip kolektivima Komikaze i Emisija emocija, svoje stripove redovito objavljuje, ilustrira knjige, dobitnica je brojnih nagrada...zaslugama jednostavno nema kraja, a dvadeset i devet joj je godina tek.

Područje Dunjina umjetničkog interesa teško je obuhvatiti zbog njene sklonosti ka konstantnoj promjeni, eksperimentiranju te propitivanju granica medija u kojem djeluje.
Ivana Armanini u predgovoru kataloga za Dunju kaže sljedeće:“Temelj njezina opusa je opiranje svim manirama i ladicama, kako stilski tako i: formalno, tehnički, multimedijski, interdisciplinarno; jednom riječju - životno jer “u životu jedina konstanta stalna mijena jest” (Heraklit). Ova izložba predstavlja samo djelić kabineta čuda u kom se neprekidno ruše i ponovo grade magični svjetovi njezine fantazije. Trajna transformacija artikulirana opsesivnom izradom originala tvore okosnicu Dunjina lika i djela.“
Dovoljno je uzeti u ruke jedan Dunjin strip kako bi postali svjesni raspona umjetničkih tehnika i stilova kojima se koristi, svaki kadar ostvaren je novom svježinom i umjetničkom logikom, likovi mijenjaju svoju pojavnost, a prostori u koje su uronjeni kontinuirano se grade i nestaju. Narativna struktura stripa pritom ostaje nepomućena i jasna.

Dunja će se predstaviti izborom svojih najuspješnijih strip ostvarenja u originalnim strip tablama, animiranim filmom te najnovijim eksperimentalnim kolažima.
Za dobru atmosferu prilikom otvorenja pobrinuti će se dečki iz zagrebačkog benda Tigrova mast.

The opening of the exhibition Incidents by an artist Dunja Jankovic, will be held in a gallery space of the Fritzy Palace in Mali Losinj.

Dunja Jankovic belongs to the very top of the contemporary comic scene in Croatia. She holds a BFA degree in Painting from the Fine Art Academy in Zagreb and MFA degree in Illustration from SVA in New York. She participated in many solo and group exhibitions and is a part of Komikaze and Emisija Emocija comic collectives. Her comics and illustrations are published on regular basis.

The area of her interest is hard to grasp because of her tendency to constantly change, experiment and question the boundaries of the media in which she works. As Ivana Armanini puts it in the foreword of the exhibition catalogue: “Dunja Janković is an art adventurer and the most successful comics author of younger generation in this area. Her work is based on resisting every manner and fashion, as in style so in form, technique, multimedia, interdisciplinary approach; in one word – livelily, because “the only constant is change” (Heraclitus).
This exhibition presents only a small part of the miracle cabinet in which the magic worlds of her fantasy are continually collapsing and being built again. Permanent transformation articulated through obsessive creation of the originals which you can see here makes a framework of Dunja's work and personality.”

When observing any of Dunja's comics, one becomes aware of the range of art techniques and styles she uses, where every frame is created with new freshness and art logic, characters change their appearance, while space they are submerged into is continously building itself or disappearing. Still, narrative structure remains stable and clear.

Dunja will be presenting a selection of her very best achievements, original comic pages, stop-motion animation and most recent experimental collages.
To make the things more interesting, there will be a band Tigrova Mast from Zagreb playing at the opening. Food. Drinks. Love.
