About The Greater Coming Together by Slavko Đurić
The Greater Coming Together contains at its heart a double-bind between destruction and creation; singularity and plurality. Ðurić’s entangled constellation of artists’ books, prints, and objects cleave into balkanized1 forms that reach out to each other with pages open wide, seeking asylum.
Sculptural, extroverted, and gregarious works obscure what lies beneath the image surface—an intimate topography many times overprinted, salvaged, collaged, ruined, and redeemed. Each gestural remnant suggests something of the metamorphic labor and cadence of Slavko’s practice, which oscillates between sudden, intuitive marks to nearly-archeological periods of accumulation and excavation. Nothing is wasted—layers upon layers of silkscreen, relief and reduction prints, beeswax, paste-ins, pencil marks, walnut shells, and offcuts—tenderly rescued from oblivion.
