Interesting catalogue compiled for an exhibition at the Students' Center Gallery in Belgrade, presenting works by the Sempas Family, a group of artists that set up a commune in the small village in Slovania. Formed in 1971, they aimed to build an ecological community-based art practice.

Members were: Marko Pogacnik, Marika Pogacnik and their daughters Ajra, Nike and Ana, Bojan Brecelj and Andrej Klancar. As explained in the introduction: 'The first reason for grounding our settlement at Sempas was to experience the unity between art, man and life following this vision, we have built up during the last five years a life-unit that includes also members from animal and plant kingdoms.' The group represented Yugoslavia at the Venice Biennale1978, dedicated to the relationship between art and nature. Catalogue shows age wear on cover and around the edges of the interior sheets. Scarce, held in the collection of Moderna galerija Ljubljana and De Appel Amsterdam.
