The Spot Gallery and the Office for Photography invite you to the opening of the exhibition Bombardelli: An Open Archive of Memory, Experience, and Urban Possibilities by the artist Duška Boban, which will be held on Monday, 11th May 2026, at 7:00 p.m. The official opening with a guided tour and a talk with the author of the exhibition starts at 7:30 p.m. As part of the exhibition, a workshop “First House” by the artist will be held on 28th and 29th May in the Spot Gallery. The exhibition will remain open until 29th May 2026.
From the foreword “To Unfold the House Within – Duška Boban and Vuko Bombardelli ” by the exhibition curator, Sandra Križić Roban:
“Duška’s artistic approach does not subscribe to the logic that prevails in archives, nor to the hierarchy that arises from a single viewpoint structured according to someone else’s rules. Instead, she opts for the study of relations shaped by views down the street and towards the neighbouring house; she is interested in the rhythm of shifting volumes and the movement of air, the configuration of the coastline as it is gradually worn away, and the line along which her mother’s and father’s family histories meet – one tied to the Dalmatian hinterland, the other to the coastal region. Through a series of gestures, the artist revalues her own heritage, her roots and family, and the albums she would look through as a child, while also taking into account those that have not been fully available to her (since the impulse to hide is also inherent to archival material, potentially intended for the future).”
