Fools, villains and courts

An exhibition titled '1573. Budale, zlotvori in dvori' by Croatian artist Kristian Kožul opens at the Galerija Božidar Jakac - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Kostanjevica na Krki on September 11, 2026. The exhibit features Kožul's recent sculpture series, which explores themes of power, repression, civil disobedience, resistance, and sacrifice for ideas. It draws inspiration from the significant historical event of the Great Peasants' Revolt or Slovene-Croatian Peasants' Uprising of 1573. Through a complex spatial arrangement and grotesque, dark iconography characteristic of peasant revolts, the exhibition questions the symbolic meaning of this event today, amidst the dominance of individualism, neoliberalism, consumerism, and autonomous technologies. Kožul's sculptures, described as imposing yet grotesque and ironic, offer critical insights into the spirit of the space and time, serving as a caricature of feudalism and a mirror to contemporary inequality in the 21st century.
