The focus of the exhibition is on a critical discourse based on the thematisation of the procedures of watching, modes of spectating, and the politics of attention, within exhibition conventions and beyond. The title of the exhibition, One Needs to Live Self-Confidently... Watching, a quote taken from Tomislav Gotovac, in many ways summarises Gotovac's artistic credo, but it is also a demand that governed the decision to engage with his works in the Croatian presentation at the Venice Biennial, as in the new exhibition in Zagreb.
The statement "One Needs to Live Self-Confidently... Watching" is ubiquitous enough to include a demand for us to take Responsibility for Things Seen, which is the title of the site-specific installation by BADco. Conceptualising the absence of performers and the complex field of friction between a stage and exhibition space, BADco.'s installation sets the spatial parameters of the exhibition. On the other hand, Gotovac's work cannot escape the conditions and procedures set by BADco.'s installation which is concerned with the study of "the power of the image to capture our attention".
Gallery Nova also presents the work of Slobodan Šijan A Place in the Sun organized by the Multimedia Institute.
Both exhibitions open until 24.03.2012
Opening hours of Gallery Nova:
Tue - Fri: 12:00-20:00
Sat: 11:00-14:00
The exhibition is realised in collaboration with the Croatian Film Clubs' Association and Zagreb Youth Theatre.

Odgovornost za viđeno: Priče iz negativnog prostora
uz vodstvo kroz izložbu 28.02.2012. 19:00 @ Galerija Nova, Teslina 7, Zagreb U fokusu izložbe Potrebno je živjeti samouvjereno... gledajući kritički je diskurs utemeljen na tematizaciji procedura gledanja, načina promatranja i politika pažnje, unutar i izvan konvencija izložbe. Naslov izložbe, citat Tomislava Gotovca, na mnoge načine sumira Gotovčev umjetnički kredo, ali je također i zahtjev koji je upravljao prezentacijom u sklopu predstavljanja Hrvatske na prošlogodišnjem 54. Venecijanskom bijenalu, kao i postavom nove verzije izložbe u Zagrebu. Izjava "Potrebno je živjeti samouvjereno… gledajući" dovoljno je sveobuhvatna da uključuje zahtjev da preuzmemo odgovornost za viđeno, što je (dio) naziva prostorno specifične instalacije BADco. Konceptualiziranjem odsutnosti izvođača i kompleksnog polja trenja između pozornice i izložbenog prostora, njihova instalacija postavlja prostorne parametre izložbe, uzimajući u obzir selekciju i uvjete Gotovčeve prezentacije. S druge strane, Gotovčevi radovi ne mogu uteći uvjetima i procedurama koje postavlja BADco. instalacija, čiji je glavni interes u proučavanju "moći slika da zarobe našu pažnju". Galerija Nova također predstavlja rad Slobodana Šijana Mjesto pod suncem u organizaciji Multimedijalnog instituta. Obje izložbe su otvorene do 24.03.2012. Radno vrijeme Galerije Nova: utorak - petak: 12:00-20:00 subota: 11:00-14:00 Izlozba je realizirana u suradnji s Hrvatskim filmskim savezom i Zagrebačkim kazalištem mladih.26 / 02 / 2012
