In the former monastery church of the Bozidar Jakac Gallery, the Croatian artist Neven Bili is presenting to the Slovenian public for the first time with the solo exhibition Ad infinitum. The exhibition presents works created a decade ago, which, placed in the former sacral space, establish new relationships and open up new possibilities for their interpretation. In the process of articulating artistic ideas, Neven Bili, from the very beginning, shows sensibility towards non-traditional materials, tirelessly exploring their potential. Thus, he experiments with different types of polymers, with so-called non-traditional materials, which in creative and complex processes are transformed into new forms, geometric or organic, revealing the infinite potentials of design. The fascination with different types of synthetic materials, experimentation and the discovery of the optimal technological process are the basic creative principles of BILI alter's work.
The exhibition was created in collaboration with GBJ and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb (Museum of suvremene umjetnost Zagreb).

V nekdanji samostanski cerkvi Galerije Božidar Jakac se s samostojno razstavo Ad infinitum slovenski javnosti prvič predstavlja hrvaški umetnik Neven Bilić. Na razstavi so predstavljena dela nastala pred desetletjem, ki postavljena v nekdanji sakralni prostor vzpostavljajo nove odnose in odpirajo nove možnosti za njihovo interpretacijo. V procesu artikulacije umetniških idej Neven Bilić že od samih začetkov kaže senzibilnost do netradicionalnih materialov, neutrudno raziskujoč njihov potencial. Tako eksperimentira z različnimi vrstami polimerov, s t. i. netradicionalnimi materiali, ki se v kreativnih in kompleksnih postopkih spreminjajo v nove oblike, geometrične ali organske in razkrivajo neskončne potenciale oblikovanja. Fascinacija nad različnimi vrstami sintetičnih materialov, eksperimentiranje in odkrivanje optimalnega tehnološkega postopka, so osnovni ustvarjalni principi Bilićevega dela.
Razstava je nastala v sodelovanju GBJ in Muzeja sodobne umetnosti v Zagrebu (Muzej suvremene umjetnosti Zagreb).
