13/01/2005 :: The exhibition "With Gloves in the Dark" was opened by H.E. Hans Ola Urstad, the Norwegian Ambassador to Serbia and Montenegro.
Gallery Chaos (Cara Lazara 12) is open every day from 12.00-20.00 hours (closed on Sundays).
"With gloves in the Dark is a description of a physical circumstance, a production process, the work’s content and its metaphor. The title is the carrier of form and the catalyst for the work’s tonality and its visual and literary associations. As is often the case for Sverre Wyller, subject matter and its materiality are grounded in the merger of a local and imagined geography and its synthesis with a real and imagined history"- Vera Wyller.
