KUD Koralj (Culture and Art Association) and the Zlarin Tourist Board bring you another interesting event – our dear friend and great artist Vedran Perkov’s exhibition. Before the opening, the author will hold a public lecture where he will display a selection of works made during his 15-year career. Visitors will have a chance to learn about the making of his work and the ideas that preceded their existence.
The speech with the artist program is called “Ki si, čigov si I ča činiš?” For years Boris Gregov has tried to talk me into making an exhibition in the Zlarin museum. For years I was able to think of some kind of excuse, justification and reason not to do it. Not because I’m lazy or because it’s summer – leave me alone. None of those things were my reason.
This year I could not find any more excuses, and I still really don’t need and exhibition in Zlarin. I’ll try to show everybody why I think so with this exhibition called Iventura.
Vedran Perkov was born in 1972 in Split.
He graduated painting in 2002 on the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brer from the class of Professor Diego Esposito in Milano, Italy. From 2004 to 2010 he worked as an assistant and docent on the Academy of Arts, University of Split. He’s a member of the Croatian Painters Association in Split and the Croatian Independent Artist Association.
He has had independent exhibitions in Split, Zagreb, Rijeka, Osijek, Poreč, Dubrovnik and Milano and many group exhibitions in Croatia and abroad. He’s a participant in many workshops and the Artist-in-Residence program in Croatia, Italy, Sweden, Latvia, Algeria and the USA. In recent years he has combined his exhibition activities with curator activities.
He was also the winner of the Rudoslav Putar award in 2007 and the Great reward of the Split Saloon in 2007.
