OHO Research
/5
OHO, active between 1965 and 1971, was one of the most significant artists’ groups in Slovenia during the 1960s. Its most prominent members were Marko Pogačnik, Andraž Šalamun, David Nez, and Milenko Matanović. Their relatively brief period of artistic activity as a group can be divided into multiple phases: the extended OHO group existed from 1965 to 1968 and the reduced OHO group from 1969 to 1971, with the Šempas family then continuing from 1971 to 1979. Their main artistic concept, called “reism,” stood alongside land art and Arte Povera as a principle that was crucial to their work. There have so far been only few attempts to approach the OHO phenomenon as a whole due to the fact that their works have since been scattered among various public and private collections. However, the Ljubljana-born artist and philosopher Luka Savić has now set out to research the various stages of OHO’s activities and will undertake a hermeneutic interpretation of the main OHO concepts and the relationship between reism and pan-democracy.
