On 18 May 2022, the National Museum of Modern Art begins a continuous process of distribution and sale of museum publications that have accompanied the Museum’s activities from the mid-1970s until today. Catalogues of the Museum collections, exhibitions and the artist’s monographs will be set-up in the form of a meandering installation in the NMMA stairway, and the public is invited to take copies of the publications they are interested in and to leave a financial contribution, at their own discretion, in the transparent donation box. Our goal is for as many NMMA publications, which compress the expert knowledge, interpretations and information on iconic works of art and artists, to find their way to as many art afficionados and friends as possible. The interactive and site-specific display of the publications was designed by multimedia artist Josip Kresović in a curatorial collaboration with art historian Marta Radman.
