Exhibition of the censored works
Livello57, Bologna, February 1999

Following the imprisonment, in February 1999, an exhibition is organised in Bologna called "Darko Maver - Exhibition of the censored works". The show is announced with a press conference and advertised in the whole city. Hundreds of alert visitors crowded in a small room, a claustrophobic atmosphere. Not everybody could enter and many visitors do not tolerate the sight of his most cruel works, shocked by the performances images, whose originals had been censored and destroyed; they search for an explanation and comfort in the critical texts.

The result: from February on, after a few months of life, Darko Maver is already «one of the most disturbing and mysterious characters of the underground art scene in years»
