Mladen Stilinovic lives and works in Zagreb, Croatia, and has been exhibiting since 1975. Researching the interactions between visual and verbal signs and intervening on inexpensive and found material, his projects have assumed a variety of forms including installations, collages, artist books, video, and performance.

In recent years Stilinovic has participated in exhibitions at the Neue Galerie am Landesmuseum Joanneum, Graz; Essl Collection, Vienna; Kunsthalle Fridericianum, Kassel; Tate Modern, London; Apex Art, New York and in the 2003 Venice Biennale, the 2006 Sydney Biennale, and Documenta XII.

The exhibition at Platform will pivot around the issue of economy with reference to the building’s previous life as a bank during the 1980s. A selection from Stilinovic’s personal production of over 70 artist books, dating from the 1970s to today, will be exhibited in the mezzanine.

Platform has produced a publication in collaboration with Van AbbeMuseum that focuses on Stilinovic’s practice with artist books. In early 2008 the exhibition will be reconfigured for the museum in Eindhoven.

Subtracting of Zeroes is realised with the support of the American Center Foundation.
