Izid nove knjige I Book Launch: Matjaž Hanžek, Dalibor Zupančič, OM produkcija

Vljudno vabljeni ob izidu nove knjige Matjaž Hanžek, Dalibor Zupančič, OM produkcija v torek, 14. aprila 2026 ob 17.00 uri v Galerijo P74, Trg prekomorskih brigad 1, 1000 Ljubljana.
Knjigo bodo predstavili Tadej Pogačar, Lilijana Stepančič in Dejan Habicht. Gre za tretjo publikacijo raziskovalnega projekta SEDEMDESETA, ki smo ga pričeli v letu 2022.

Kako se lotiti preteklosti, ki je bila spregledana? Gre za ostanke, ki so dostopni le po delih. To so pričevanja, ki so osebna in avtentična. A to je skelet na katerega gledamo zelo različno. Kontrakultura kot radikalna oblika kulture je v šestdesetih in sedemdesetih letih dvajsetega stoletja zagovarjala vrednote, ki so nasprotovale dominantni kulturi in družbenim normam. Doživljala je podobno usodo kot pred desetletji avantgarda in neoavantgarda. Zaradi stereotipne obravnave jo je kritika spregledala. Danes jo ponovno gledamo s svežimi očmi neposredno skozi izjave vrhunskih ustvarjalcev sodobne vizualne umetnosti.
Matjaž Hanžek (r. 1949) je eden najpomembnejših ustvarjalcev sodobne vizualne in konkretne poezije pri nas. Dalibor Zupančič (r. 1949) je osrednji predstavnik samonikle umetniške prakse celjske kontrakulture in akcij v javnem prostoru. OM produkcija je kot umetniški kolektiv nasatala leta 1975, identiteta članov pa je ostala neznana. V letu 2025 so praznovali 50 obletnico svojega delovanja.

Po uvodniku Tadeja Pogačarja Kdo so ti ljudje? publikacija prinaša bogat vizualni material ter intervjuje z avtorji Matjažem Hanžkom, Daliborom Zupančičem in OM produkcijo, ki so jih prispevali Lilijana Stepančič, Tadej Pogačar in Dejan Habicht.
Urednik publikacije je Tadej Pogačar. Grafično oblikovanje je delo Iviana Kana Mujezinovića, angleški prevod in lektura Nataše Velikonje, slovenska lektura DO PIKE, Anja Grmovšek Drab, s. p. Knjiga je bila tiskana v tiskarni Matformat v Ljubljani, na 158 straneh v nakladi 300 izvodov.

Vljudno vabljeni!

You are cordially invited to the launch of our new book, Matjaž Hanžek, Dalibor Zupančič, OM Production. Join us on Tuesday, 14 April 2026, at 5:00 PM at the P74 Gallery, Trg prekomorskih brigad 1, 1000 Ljubljana.
The book will be presented by Tadej Pogačar, Lilijana Stepančič and Dejan Habicht. This book marks the third publication of the »SEVENTIES« research project, which began in 2022.

How to deal with a past that has been overlooked? We are dealing with remnants that exist only in fragments. These are personal, authentic testimonies, but also a skeleton that we can perceive in numerous ways. As a radical movement, the counterculture of the 1960s and 1970s advocated values that opposed the dominant culture and social norms. It suffered a similar fate to the avant-garde and neo-avant-garde decades before; it was largely ignored by critics who attempted to deal with it in a stereotypical manner. Today, we are revisiting this counterculture with fresh eyes, through the statements of outstanding contemporary visual artists.

Matjaž Hanžek (b. 1949) is one of the most significant artists in the field of contemporary visual and concrete poetry in our country. Dalibor Zupančič (b. 1949) is a key figure in the original artistic practice of counterculture and public space actions in Celje. OM Production was established as an artistic collective in 1975, and the identity of its members has remained unknown. In 2025, they marked their 50th anniversary.

Following the introduction by Tadej Pogačar, entitled Who are these people?, the book presents rich visual material and interviews with Matjaž Hanžek, Dalibor Zupančič, and OM Production, contributed by Lilijana Stepančič, Tadej Pogačar, and Dejan Habicht. The book was edited by Tadej Pogačar. Graphic design is by Ivian Kan Mujezinović, with English translation and proofreading by Nataša Velikonja, and Slovenian proofreading by DO PIKE, Anja Grmovšek Drab. The book was printed at the Matformat printing house in Ljubljana, on 158 pages, with a print run of 300 copies.

We look forward to welcoming you to this event!
