"Željko Jerman is the one who has contaminated me with contemporary art. He is the one who has shown me that art is sincere and unavoidable. He was not a believer, but he has believed strongly. He is the one who has lived art and has shared it with those around him. Some liked it, some didn’t. Truth is often painful, but there is no life without it. Jerman knew it well and was never ready to hide, close his thoughts nor would he turn as the wind blows." Tevž Logar, text in Publication Jerman

Publication Jerman is finale stage of the exhibition Jerman, which was held in 2008 in Gallery Škuc ofLjubljana, Slovenia, dedicated to the Croatian conceptual artist Željko Jerman.

Publication contains texts by:
Jerko Denegri (Note for Željko Jerman),
Uwe Laysiepen – Ulay (Credibility of the photography),
Tevž Logar (Jerman),
Radmila Iva Janković (Deconstruction = construction) and
Darko Šimičić (Jerman – One from the Group of Six Authors).

Authors of texts are covering art of Željko Jerman from totally different aspects and are focused on certain specifics of Jerman's artistic practice.

This publication is not a typical exhibition catalogue, but aims to present art of Željko Jerman as coherent as possible, and on various levels.

The Publication is conceived by Tevž Logar who, along the texts, has included to the publication also the visual material, which at the time of their acquaintance, he has exchanged with Željko Jerman by e-mail.

Precisely that visual material (not directly related to the texts) is a read thread of this publication and is trying to speak of quotidian events of Željko Jerman, and which were inseparable part of his artistic production.

Željko Jerman
Was born in Zagreb in 1949. Between 1969 and 2006 he has actively exhibited in Croatia and abroad. Since 1975 he was a member of artists Group of Six Authors, with which he has exhibited in unofficial, and late, gallery spaces. Individually, he was producing interdisciplinary actions, wrote texts and criticism, but foremost, he was exploring possibilities and boundaries in the medium of photography. He has died in Korčula in 2006.

Tevž Logar, Uwe Laysiepen - Ulay & Jarko Denegri o Jermanu / on Jerman

Željko Jerman je taj koji me je zarazio suvremenom umjetnošću. On je taj koji mi je pokazao da je umjetnost iskrena i nezaobilazna. Nije bio vjernik, ali je snažno vjerovao. On je taj koji je živio umjetnost i to nesebično dijelio s onim ljudima koji su ga okruživali. Nekima se to sviđalo, drugima ne. Istina često boli, ali nema života bez toga. Jerman je to dobro znao i nikada se nije bio spreman skrivati, zatvarati svoje misli ili se okretati prema vjetru.,
Tevž Logar, tekst u publikaciji Jerman

Publikacija Jerman je završetak izložbe Jerman, koja je bila održana 2008. godine u Galeriji Škuc u Ljubljani, posvećena hrvatskom konceptualnom umjetniku Željku Jermanu.

Publikacija sadrži tekstove:
Jerka Denegrija (Zapis za Željka Jermana),
Uwe Laysiepena – Ulaya (Kredibilnost fotografije),
Tevža Logara (Jerman),
Radmile Ive Janković (Dekonstrukcija = konstrukcija) i
Darka Šimičića (Jerman – jedan iz Grupe šestorice umjetnika).

Autori tekstova umjetnost Željka Jermana obrađuju s posve različitih aspekata i usredotočuju se na pojedine posebnosti Jermanove umjetničke prakse.

U slučaju ove publikacije, ne radi se o klasičnom izložbenom katalogu, već je cilj publikacije da na različitim razinama, što cjelovitije predstavi umjetnost Željka Jermana.

Publikaciju je koncipirao Tevž Logar, koji je pored tekstova ranih autora, u publikaciju uključio i vizualni materijal, kojega je s Željkom Jermanom u doba njihovog poznanstva razmjenjivao elektronskom poštom.

Upravo taj vizualni materijal (koji se ne nadovezuje na tekstove izravno) određena je nit vodilja ove publikacije i pokušava govoriti o svakodnevnim događajima Željka Jermana, a koji su bili neodvojivi od njegove umjetničke produkcije.

Željko Jerman
Rođen je 1949. u Zagrebu. Između 1969. i 2006. godine je aktivno izlagao u Hrvatskoj i u inozemstvu. Godine 1975. bio je jedan od osnivača poznate neo-avangardne umjetničke grupe »Grupe šestorica autora«, s kojom je izvodio izložbe-akcije; u početku u ne-galerijskim, a kasnije u galerijskim prostorima. Samostalno je radio interdisciplinarne akcije, pisao kritike i tekstove, a prije svega, uvijek je istraživao mogućnosti i granice unutar medija fotografije. Umro je u Korčuli 2006. godine.
