The magazine was produced by assembling individual works. The artists made their own pages on A4 paper and then bound them together into a magazine format. In addition to the original six, over fifty artists from Ex-Yugoslavia, Germany, Ex-Czechoslovakia, and Italy amongst other countries were invited to contribute their work to the magazine. Each issue including original art work, ready made artwork, ciclostile print work or silkscreen work, texts, concepts, projects, attitudes, ironical and political opinions, collages and photographs which lost almost nothing of their original quality when reproduced or multiplied. Pages were occasionally reproduced by screenprinting in the workshop of Željko Jerman and Vlasta Delimar. Most pages however, were hand-made. By repeating the same, simple and quickly executed work, the artist diminishes the significance of the original. Issues of “Maj’75” with their spontaneous use of available materials and technologies are obviously there to be used and handled, and although they are full of original works, there is nothing of a deluxe edition about them. “Maj’75”, financed by the artists themselves, was usually handed out for free during the exhibition-actions to other artists, friends, critics or passers-by. Later, when the Group of Six Artists no longer exhibited on the streets, distribution was usually managed through personal contacts and through mail. The magazine was never sold through bookstores or in galleries, not because its authors did not want this, but because it was impossible. Each private enterprise was met with countless obstacles in communist countries. “Maj’75” was thus completely unofficial. This had one advantage in that it avoided censorship, but also a drawback, in that the magazine remained little known outside a narrow circle. Branka Stipančić

Goran Trbuljak. 1972, Artiste anonyme / Goran Trbuljak, 1974 Zagreb: Galerija suvremene umjetnosti, Zagreb, 1976. Signed and numbered Artist book 25p / 29 x 21 cm Using simple statements and questions, public spaces in Zagreb, and the participation of the public, Goran Trbuljak experimented with the relationship between artist, the audience, and the conditions in which an artwork is encountered. This publication, produced in conjunction with an exhibition at the Gallery of Contemporary Art, Zagreb, documents many of his ephemeral works and performances. This book documents two iterations of a project in which Trbujlak surveyed contemporary art galleries in Paris with a form that asked: "Would you like this work to be shown at your gallery? 1) Yes 2) No 3) Maybe." The first version of the letter was signed by an "anonymous artist." The second solicitation was signed by Trbujlak. The completed questionnaires were reproduced in this publication for an exhibition at the Gallery of Contemporary Art, Zagreb. -MoMa Autor: Goran Trbuljak Izdavač: Galerija suvremene umjetnosti, Zagreb Izdanje: prvo Godina: 1976 Uvez: meki Format: 21x29 Stranica: 26
