The Residency

March 2nd 1991, the six artists together with Marija Gattin arrived in Verona and the next day they went to Como. Here they signed several large format screen printings on canvas, editions which reproduced some small format old artworks that they previously sent to Conz. Back in Verona in the evening, March 4th they left for Merano where they met the widow and daughter of Ezra Pound and began to organize the materials for the two following days of work; they were also joined by a camera operator who had the task of producing a video documentary, with short interviews of the artists.

On March 6th, the artists left Brunnenburg: Knifer and Jevšovar towards Zagreb, while the others decided to stay a few days in Venice with Conz.

The artworks produced during the residency are not directly connected to Ezra Pound: the Gorgona group decided not to follow the first Conz proposal, for reasons that are traced by Đuro Seder back to the will of Vaništa - considered by the group of artists the coordinator of this project - to distance themselves from the possible political implications conveyed by Pound.
The thirteen works are all realised by the five artists on a cardboard (30 x 42 cm): fifteen copies of each artwork have been made, one for each of the box that should have been published. Every piece was made by hand, so they could be considered fifteen original works.
