ARTMargins publishes  two new interviews with formers members of OHO, David Nez and Milenko Matanović. The Slovene OHO group, which formed in the late 1960’s, consisted of Milenko Matanović, David Nez, Marko Pogačnik, and Andraž Šalamun. It belonged to the wider Slovene OHO movement and regularly collaborated with this wider circle of intellectuals and artists. After very intense three years of working together, the members of OHO decided no longer to pursue success in the art world, trying instead to live closer to nature and to explore spirituality. Today OHO’s legacy represents one of the crucial references for Slovene contemporary art. A major Slovene prize for young artists has been named after the group.

Daniel Grúň. Image courtesy of the author.Daniel Grúň: I want to start by asking about the way you work with the modern methods of documentation in the natural sciences, particularly the way you trace the breeds in connection with their biotope, and the way you utilize text to record voice expressions. Is it a coincidence that the title of your work, Natural Selection (2008) is also a key term of evolutionary biology? However, in the cycle Creator, the crux of the work is not the process of documentation, but the role of scientific equipment in the genetic manipulation of pigeons. Do you consider the camera a tool of subjugation, particularly, as an instrument in the process of attaining scientific knowledge?
