Verbumprogram is an art group formed by Ratomir Kulić and Vladimir Mattioni.  They claim they are “larger than an individual, but smaller than a group”, located “before history and after art.” It is difficult to categorize Verbumprogram’s works, but they are usually placed in the context of new artistic practice, conceptual art, dematerialization of the art object, and new geometry.
Kulić and Mattioni have been active as an artistic duo Verbum program since 1974. The fields of their artistic activity are expanded media, graphics, sculptures, theory of visual arts.
Ratomir Kulić lives in Novi Sad, and Vlado Mattioni in Zagreb.
