The exhibition "Multioriginals" includes prints, photographs, digital prints and videos from the collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska by more than fifty artists from different generations, whose work is connected with Bosnia and Herzegovina, that which was once "Yugoslav art", and Europe’s and wider international art scene in the second half of the 20^th century.

The term "multioriginal" underlies the exhibition concept, as referring to the reproducible nature of artworks, i.e., the possibility of their multiplication and reproduction.

The exhibition presents an overview of the development of printmaking in the former Yugoslavia, which reached its peak in the 1970’s and the 1980’s, at centres such as Sarajevo, Belgrade, Zagreb and Ljubljana. Simultaneously, works by distinguished international print artists (Hans Hartung, Friеdensreich Hundertwasser, Shoichi Hasegawa, Zao Wou Ki, Jean Messagier, Stanley William Hayter, Pierre Alechinsky, Luc Peire, Alberto Biasi, Antonino Virduzzo, and others) provide us with an insight into the achievements in the field of printmaking outside the former joint Yugoslav state.

On the other hand, the art practices that characterised the final decades of the 20^th century and the early 21^st century saw the use of a wide range of technologically diverse media in the creation of contemporary art. The use of video, photography and a variety of digital media has made it possible to endlessly multiply products of art, granting original artworks rarity status. We find examples of this among the photographs, prints and videos taken from the new media collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska, which mostly contains works by Bosnian-Herzegovinian and wider regional artists made in the last ten years.
