The Group of Six (Boris Demur, Željko Jerman, Vlado Martek, Mladen
Stilinović, Sven Stilinović, Fedor Vučemilović) was a conceptual art
collective based in Zagreb. They worked together 1975 – 1984 and
were among the first artists to exit gallery spaces and exhibit in the
streets and public spaces. Their work as a Group of Six is considered
to be key to understanding the artistic tendencies of the seventies in
Croatia and, then Yugoslavia.

This publication consists of two DVDs published in our series VAL –
multimedia. The works presented are divided into two units.
One DVD brings experimental films that were filmed between 1972
and 1980 by the artist of the Group, and the other presents
documentation, footage recorded during their exhibitions/ actions
which they performed in public spaces between 1975 and 1978.
Each DVD is of 70 minutes duration.

All films were originally filmed on an 8mm film strip.
The Institute for Contemporary Art for has released this compilation
for the first time in 1998, accompanying the retrospective exhibition
by the Group of Six, and multiplied them at the time on VHS tapes, after
digitizing them and restoring original 8 mm film tapes. The publishing
project was accompanying the series of publications prepared to
document the activities of the Group of Six, works of the group
members and, the retrospective exhibition that the Institute has
organised and produced in 1998.
Editors of this compilations are Mladen Stilinović and Branka
Stipančić.
