Network of Cities for Artistic Creation\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>VALLADOLID AND CreArt<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Valladolid, located in the center-north of Spain, is the capital of the autonomous community of Castilla y Le\u00f3n. It is a welcoming city, socially cohesive and well integrated. It has a population of about 300,000 inhabitants. It is an economic engine in the region, with an important automobile industry. At the same time, Valladolid is a city full of history, and in its old town it still preserves a heritage of aristocratic houses and administrative, military and religious buildings. Residence of famous writers such as Cervantes and Zorrilla, it was one of the pioneering cities in the Spanish cultural avant-garde of the 19th and 20th centuries, with creators of important influence (such as Jorge Guill\u00e9n in poetry, Delibes and Chacel in prose, Eduardo Garc\u00eda Benito in graphic modernism, it was one of the headquarters of the Instituci\u00f3n Libre de Ense\u00f1anza\u2026).<\/p>\n<p>Currently, the most vibrant cultural sectors in the city are the visual and performing arts, cultural heritage and the audiovisual sector. Thanks to the work of the Municipal Culture Foundation (FMC, created by the City Council in 1982) and the Department of Museums and Exhibitions, in the last 20 years Valladolid has become a reference on the national cultural scene. Since 2012, the FMC acts as coordinator of the CreArt Network, through which the city has managed to internationalize its cultural offer. Since 2019 it is also a member of UNESCO Creative Cities, in the cinema category.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cultura.valladolid.es\/\">https:\/\/cultura.valladolid.es\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONTACT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CreArt Coordinator Mar\u00eda Mozo<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>creart@fmcva.org\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-title title-bottom-border topmargin-lg\">\n<p>Within the project:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4666 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 151px) 100vw, 151px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H.png 3735w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-200x32.png 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-900x143.png 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-768x122.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-1536x243.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-2048x325.png 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"151\" height=\"24\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Partners:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4669 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici.jpg 2339w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-200x67.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-900x301.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-768x257.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-1536x514.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-2048x685.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"622\" height=\"208\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Co-funded by:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci6.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/bIHmTACj1rBDDdNIKaIw-_ciEoCGM0B-nyX3rx06Eu1pwl8cB6JOalEyLL14LAMToT1jhsoUbjQ5iZXuxdG936Tj4SgrFraR-VXn_LqfhDb4RMEigkr5FKH5TswICVricpN4pmG3vqoswedjj-3L6w0zfCKTtECDAw0=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/e6bcee49-93a3-4097-ba15-818650dd64e8.png\" width=\"150\" height=\"31\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/c3X7g0ca3FnrPyqOJpgbZBPT6eV9rT_sFJugvEkH8bADjsn9uw-LsLj0t8v_44gJmUKph8lvMM_wSqtaYspqV6FhnVnuvGmaZbola88JAzFmoqDtWAWiDPULByHNUZg2SeED6FKdz_vPiP0KH6gjJSmwJzSkLg=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/d6579d1d-ce6e-d7e3-3b96-5138c057c0d0.jpg\" width=\"50\" height=\"53\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/-tJJixiBmBqhXsCdOGo1lYSbjTEZTDLP1yIKYoZ5yucrKh4qgDqVSI4Qz-ykBh3nmo08EcFlaqobkED__3eH2Oqw2u52IyavBon5mDiucHjsbeg7USGqTmi475fr_yBTfx9VdzLjC4jEn3BRTlMr3fNKPttbPRL8xm4=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/5e6e2254-651e-4a4b-952e-30214afcfcb5.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"59\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5195 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549.png 4756w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-200x72.png 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-900x324.png 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-768x277.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-1536x554.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-2048x738.png 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"74\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Co-funded by the European Union \u2013 CREA-CULT-2023-COOP.

In 2026, it takes place for the 19th time, bringing artworks into streets, parks, landscapes and other everyday places.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFragility\u201d is this year\u2019s theme of Um\u011bn\u00ed ve m\u011bst\u011b.<\/p>\n<p>We live in a time of pressure, acceleration and polarisation. Things that need care \u2013 ecosystems, social bonds, trust, relationships \u2013 are becoming unstable or invisible. Fragility often appears quietly, before we notice what is being lost.<\/p>\n<p>But fragility is not only about weakness. It can also be about sensitivity, attention and value \u2013 about what cannot be replaced and therefore asks for care.<\/p>\n<p>We are interested in works that ask questions like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>How can art make fragile or invisible bonds tangible?<\/li>\n<li>How can a work speak to someone just passing by \u2013 and also to people who stay longer?<\/li>\n<li>What happens when a work really responds to a place: a street, a park, a river, an edge of the city?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to answer all of this.

The focus of the research is the neighborhood surrounding Gallery Karas in Zagreb, considered as a micro-ecological system within which neglected material flows can be identified\u2014such as bio-waste, ambient heat, solar energy, acoustic patterns, and water\u2014that possess the potential to be converted into useful forms of energy.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the work is to develop an interactive, energetically self-sustaining installation based on locally available materials and the specific environmental conditions of micro-locations within the aforementioned urban district. The research methodology includes mapping selected micro-locations in order to identify and collect biodegradable and secondary raw materials (e.g., organic waste, plant biomass, paper, coffee grounds, wastewater, salt), which are then used for the experimental fabrication of bioelectrochemical batteries as the primary energy source of the installation, enabling its operation without external power supply.<\/p>\n<p>Preference will be given to artists who are interested in and\/or are expressing themselves through art and science (bioart, biohacking, DIY\/DIWO), experimental medias and interactive installation, and sustainable energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>VANA GA\u0106INA<\/strong>\u00a0graduated in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in 2005, after which she completed a Master\u2019s degree in Video Art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana in 2012. She is currently pursuing a PhD in Visual Arts, with a focus on the Aesthetics of Artificial Intelligence, at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana.<\/p>\n<p>During her studies, she began working with multimedia installations that connect classical art with contemporary technology.

Its goal is\u00a0 to encourage the city\u2019s inhabitants to reconnect with Lithuania\u2019s major rivers flowing through the city, to open them up for cultural events and community meetings, and to jointly search for the signs and expressions of the identity of the local communities that are located along the rivers. Once a year, during the birthday of Kaunas celebration, a large-scale event called \u201cLet\u2019s Celebrate the River!\u201d is organised, when the river and its banks become a space for cultural and artistic action.<\/p>\n<p><em>The aim of the River and Land Art Plein Air<\/em>\u00a0is to create a land\/environmental artwork that highlights the riverbank\u2019s unique natural, geographical, cultural and historical context, turning it into a cultural attraction and meeting point.

Connections established during the festival help us further develop social and cultural networks within the city and the region. We also seek to collaborate with local educational institutions and NGOs and to create an inclusive, low-threshold skate school with overlap into other creative and community activities.<\/p>\n<p>One of our biggest achievements so far has been two successful editions of Skateholders Forum (2024 and 2025), an international event hosting workshops, screenings, talks, exhibitions, and skate sessions.<br \/>\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/fmcva.acblnk.com\/url\/ver\/904721231\/3523500\/abc97720c110a94a3728baa7e4349778\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/fmcva.acblnk.com\/url\/ver\/904721231\/3523500\/abc97720c110a94a3728baa7e4349778&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1765011567818000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3MrlfU9MYbar-ZTrcx3Qof\">2024 report<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the next edition (1st week of July 2026), we are preparing an interdisciplinary programme exploring DIY skateboarding from perspectives of craft, art, urbanism, community, and resistance.

It is characterized by its medieval town centre and its location along the Danube River. The city has around 179.000 inhabitants. Being a University town, many young people live in Regensburg, which makes it both modern and traditional at the same time. Well-known landmarks include the Stone Bridge from the 12th century and the Gothic cathedral with its twin towers. The winding city centre, the many charming caf\u00e9s and the colourful houses exude an Italian flair in the heart of Bavaria, which is why Regensburg is also known as the \u2018northernmost city in Italy\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ACCOMMODATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In October 2025, the City of Regensburg\u2019s Cultural Office launched a new program: RAiR \u2013 Regensburg Arts in Residence.<\/li>\n<li>As part of the new program, the city of Regensburg is offering one of the two new charming studio apartments in a historic house in the heart of Regensburg\u2019s old town. Located directly on the Stone Bridge and thus along the Danube River, the studio apartments offer plenty of space for art and creativity in unique surroundings. Numerous galleries and studios are located in the immediate vicinity.<\/li>\n<li>The studio apartments are newly renovated with a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom as well as a living and working studio area. During the period, another artist from another partner city will live and work in the other studio appartment.<\/li>\n<li>In addition, the artists can use a shared space measuring approximately 30

The event is part of the Oulu2026 \u2013 European Capital of Culture program. Frozen People will be held outdoors on 28\u00a0February 2026, defying weather conditions by the frozen sea. The festival offers brutal and unique winter conditions for the world\u2019s coldest dance party and art experiences.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of the residency open call is to invite artists to innovate and develop impressive installations for subarctic conditions, and create an art piece for the official art program of the Frozen People festival 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The portfolio call is aimed at visual artists under 40 years old in the CreArt network. The Frozen People festival is looking for an installation suitable for the festival area that works in both daylight and darkness. The piece can combine, for example, light and media art, community and environmental art, and may also include performative elements. We hope for works that are eco-friendly and recyclable and do not leave traces in the environment after the festival ends. The artwork will be located on sea ice in an open seascape, so we hope they are large-scale and spectacular. The work can also utilize snow and ice, but please note that weather conditions can be challenging, and we do not recommend choosing work material based on snow and ice alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall schedule and eligible artists<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>The portfolio search is open from 7 November 2025 to 12 December 2025.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Artist and work selection will be made by 31 December 2025.

The former industrial complex Spinnerei in the Plagwitz district spans 10 hectares and has been almost entirely renovated, now serving as the heart of the local and international art scene with 12 galleries, the non-profit art center Halle 14, and around a hundred resident artists. The residency program\u00a0<em>De\/construction of Painting<\/em>\u00a0tries to answer the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To what extent is the idea of an image\/painting still a cultural construct within various dichotomies (Western-Eastern, industrial-post-industrial)?<\/li>\n<li>How does the media in which the painting is formed correspond to the concepts of representing different realities?<\/li>\n<li>What is individual in the image\/painting and what is symbolic or universal?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Part of this year\u2019s residency program takes place within the\u00a0<strong>EU project CreART 3.0<\/strong>, a European network of medium-sized cities aimed at exchanging experiences and best practices to promote contemporary art through a continuous transnational mobility program for emerging artists, curators, and cultural workers, in order to maximize the economic, social, and cultural contributions that creativity can bring to local communities.

The clarity of Bauhaus forms meets industrial surroundings, where the human figure becomes a silent observer, a point of reflection. \u201cBetween\u201d is a meditation on painting as process \u2013 on what is individual and what is universal, what remains and what changes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s\">The exhibition \u201cDear Babies\u2026\u201d presents the artist\u2019s latest body of work \u2014 a deeply personal reflection on identity, time, and transformation. With this new series of oil paintings before you, the artist creates a painterly portrait of her own life at the age of 31, which she wishes to leave as a personal testament to her future children, offering them a unique insight into the intimate life of a person currently transitioning from one stage of life to another. Klara paints six large-scale canvases depicting scenes from her own life, which she has organized into three main areas or categories, following the structure of classical horoscope columns: health, love, and finances. This overtly cynical and humorous approach, present from the conception of the idea to its full realization, is a hallmark of Klara Rusan\u2019s artistic practice.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT THE ARTISTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kristaps8640.wixsite.com\/kristaps-priede\/\"><strong>Kristaps Priede<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(b. 1990, Latvia) is a Latvian conceptual artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, sculpture, documentary photography, installations, and performance. His work delves into contemporary social, political, and environmental issues, using contrast and transformation as central tools to explore destruction and renewal. Priede adapts his methods to each project, often blending natural and man-made elements to challenge perception and provoke reflection. Rooted in both critical inquiry and emotional depth, his art invites viewers to confront inner and societal tensions\u2014offering space for identification, catharsis, and change. With a strong commitment to environmental and human rights concerns, Priede\u2019s practice seeks not just to raise awareness, but to inspire dialogue and collective action through art.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.klarxy.com\/\">Klara Rusan<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(b. 1993, Croatia) earned a bachelor\u2019s degree at\u00a0Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb\u00a0at the department of Animated Film and the New Media.

This type of \u201copposition\u201d, or better said, two-sides of the same, is the driving force in the processual sound piece.<br \/>\n<strong>\u201cTemporarily abandoned spaces\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is an exploration of\u00a0<strong>dualities that shouldn\u2019t be seen as contrary<\/strong>, nor exclusive,\u00a0<strong>but rather co-existing<\/strong>\u00a0and leaving enough room for a re-write. Therefore, the central artwork is a soundscape that records and brings the slow and abandoned reality of the courtyard to the gallery, serving as an intangible reminder of the spaces we wish not to confront. The soundscape, though, isn\u2019t a fixed \u201cplace\u201d nor a static gesture, but rather it opens itself towards further meanings, including the ones which will be gathered through the public program, further exploration and reflection of the living and vivid spaces of its close neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p><strong><br \/>\nPROGRAM<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Soft launch of the still-in-process project<\/strong><br \/>\nThursday, 9th of October at 6pm<br \/>\nCome and hang, listen and share<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact mic workshop (w\/ Tin Do\u017ei\u0107)<\/strong><br \/>\nWednesday, 15th of October at 10am<br \/>\nMake your own contact mic and listen to usually secluded sounds.

Being a University town, many young people live in Regensburg, which makes it both modern and traditional at the same time. Well-known landmarks include the Stone Bridge from the 12th century and the Gothic cathedral with its twin towers. The winding city centre, the many charming caf\u00e9s and the colourful houses exude an Italian flair in the heart of Bavaria, which is why Regensburg is also known as the \u2018northernmost city in Italy\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ACCOMMODATION<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In October 2025, the City of Regensburg\u2019s Cultural Office is launching a new program:\u00a0<strong>RAiR \u2013 Regensburg Arts in Residence.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As part of the new program, the city of Regensburg is now offering two new charming studio apartments in a historic house in the heart of Regensburg\u2019s old town. Located directly on the Stone Bridge and thus along the Danube River, the studio apartments offer plenty of space for art and creativity in unique surroundings. Numerous galleries and studios are located in the immediate vicinity.<\/p>\n<p>The studio apartments are newly renovated with a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom as well as a living and working studio area. Artists with families are welcome to apply, as the Cultural Office is aiming to ensure a child-friendly environment.<\/p>\n<p>Accommodation is paid by the City of Regensburg.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EXPECTATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The artist is free in their artistic work. They are welcome to engage with the city of Regensburg, e.g. in a participatory way. During the residency, an artist talk takes place.

This seemingly passive message opens space for a critique of the status quo, where systemic control, censorship, and the normalization of authoritarian practices diminish faith in the possibility of change. The work oscillates between personal reflection and collective uncertainty, questioning why \u2013 despite access to information and technology \u2013 we remain passive in the face of injustice and dehumanization. It does not call for a revolution, but for reflection: why does revolution feel so distant? Without taking a direct political stance, the aim is to encourage the viewer to question power, identity, and everyday passivity, and to open a space for critical dialogue about social norms we often take for granted.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-39005 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1-600x419.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1-600x419.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1-200x140.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/1.jpg 1073w\" alt=\"\" width=\"613\" height=\"428\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-39006 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-600x427.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-600x427.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2-200x142.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/2.jpg 1076w\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sanda \u010crnel\u010d,\u00a0<em>I Discovered Something Between Two Bricks<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Location<\/strong><em><strong>:\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>Grupa Showroom, Ul. popa Dukljanina 1, Zagreb<\/p>\n<p>Space and object\u2014motifs that conceptually connected the artist\u2019s previous works\u2014initiated the creation of a new idea, one that visually leans towards abstracting form and conceptually towards self-reflection.

By mounting the screens into three-dimensional objects made of aluminum structures and 3D-printed plastic with attached LED modules and electronics, the work explores the physicality of pixels and their \u201cinvisibility\u201d within the framework of consumer electronics. Through the combination of multiple monochromatic layers with the use of dithering and dot-matrix algorithms, a low-resolution image emerges that explores the graphic potential of the dot grid. The 3mm spacing between individual pixels\u2014common in advertising panels\u2014is much larger than that of modern screens on phones, computers, and smartwatches, allowing for the observation of light as the constructive element of screens, which also functions as ambient lighting in the space.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-39013 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/9.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"368\" height=\"422\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-39014 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/10-600x423.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"598\" height=\"427\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the curator:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonela Soleni\u010dki<\/strong>\u00a0is an independent curator and researcher.

This phase of the project\u00a0<em>Intimate Dialogue<\/em>\u00a0does not arise from the certainty of a finished form, but from the process of an uncertain search for an approach, for a language that would not harm, for a space that could truly be shared.<\/p>\n<p>The work consists of two levels:<\/p>\n<p>On a tactile platform, placed in the space as a physical object, questions are inscribed that deliberately remain open and undefined. They are not posed to steer the conversation in a specific direction, but are shaped to invite future participants \u2014 migrants \u2014 to define the themes, needs, and ways of communication themselves. This platform does not function as a representation of an existing dialogue, but as its announcement, its quiet anticipation. In this way, a position of power is avoided, and instead, a framework is created that can, in future live encounters, be transformed according to what the community wishes to share.<\/p>\n<p>Jean-Luc Nancy speaks of\u00a0<em>being-in-encounter<\/em>\u00a0(<em>\u00eatre-en-rencontre<\/em>) \u2014 a state in which the subject is not yet complete, but is shaped in anticipation of a relationship. It is precisely this phase of pre-encounter, where the \u201cother\u201d is not yet present, but whose presence is felt as necessity and hope, that forms the core of this platform. It materializes anticipation, but does not dare to speak on behalf of the other. It does not question, does not offer answers, does not interpret \u2014 it waits.<\/p>\n<p>The analogue segment of the work, extending through space as a series of handcrafted fragments \u2014 poetic questions, illustrations, and photocollages \u2014 reflects the internal process of the author: her thoughts, doubts, fears, and questions that arise in the attempt to shape a work that does not speak in place of others. These questions are not posed to be answered; they are traces of a personal process, self-inquiry, a confrontation with one\u2019s own gaze and position. In them, one recognizes the awareness of the boundary between one\u2019s own perception and the experience of others.<\/p>\n<p>The platform, in its silence, remains a functional structure, creating the conditions for an encounter that is yet to come.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5407\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_2995-scaled.jpeg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1974px) 100vw, 1974px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_2995-scaled.jpeg 1974w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_2995-154x200.jpeg 154w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_2995-694x900.jpeg 694w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_2995-768x996.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_2995-1184x1536.jpeg 1184w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/IMG_2995-1579x2048.jpeg 1579w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1974\" height=\"2560\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Artwork detail\u00a0<em>Intimate Dialogue<\/em>, by Stela Mikulin<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>BRANIMIR \u0160TIVI\u0106,\u00a0<em>DOTWORK [256x320px],\u00a0<\/em>2025<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The work\u00a0<em>DOTWORK [256x320px]<\/em>\u00a0is a generative video installation composed of low-resolution LED screen modules.

The 3mm spacing between individual pixels, commonly used in advertising panels, is significantly larger than that of modern smartphone, computer, or smartwatch screens. This allows for the original medium of light to be perceived as a constructive element of the display, functioning simultaneously as ambient lighting within the surrounding space.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5408\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot_4.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot_4.png 725w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot_4-200x169.png 200w\" alt=\"\" width=\"725\" height=\"614\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Artwork detail\u00a0<em>DOTWORK [256x320px]<\/em>, by Branimir \u0160tivi\u0107<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>About the curator:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonela Soleni\u010dki<\/strong>\u00a0is an independent curator and researcher.

In 2018, he earned his master\u2019s degree in psychology from the University of Zadar, specializing in the psychology of art, with a focus on visual-aesthetic sensitivity and the relationship between art and mood. Alongside his studies, he developed his own artistic practice, exploring personal iconography as a means to investigate the relationship between the environment and the individual, and how that relationship can influence personality formation. His work spans various media, including sculpture, collage, installation, and performance. Since 2017, he has exhibited and performed both independently and in group shows across Croatia. On two occasions, he received support from the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia for visual artists (Roller, 2021, and To Swim Like You No One Can, 2023). In 2023, in collaboration with the Croatian Museum of Na\u00efve Art, he was awarded the ICOM Prize for his work Sun Worker.

She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, and her work focuses on themes of identity, memory, and space. She has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Croatia and abroad, including projects such as Poetics of Place and Archive of the Absent, as well as festivals like Trienal Tres Pesos in Mexico. She has participated in international projects such as ECO CURVE and Soundgate Zagreb, and was a member of the fourth generation of the WHW Academy. She is a recipient of the Izidor Kr\u0161njavi Plaque awarded by the Department of Art History at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Branimir \u0160tivi\u0107<\/strong>\u00a0(b. 1991, Ceri\u0107) graduated in New Media from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb (2021) and in Information and Software Engineering from the Faculty of Organization and Informatics in Vara\u017edin (2015). His artistic work focuses on sound and light installations, audiovisual performances, live cinema, expanded cinema performances, programmed art, industrial technologies, and sound for contemporary dance. He has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions and has received the professional award from the Museum of Contemporary Art at the 37th Youth Salon, as well as the Golden Watermelon 7.0 award.<\/p>\n<p>His works stem from a deep interest in the physicality of media and materials, as well as their interrelations within the contemporary technosphere and the Anthropocene. Through the development of various methods of industrial production, human labor, technology, programming code, video, and sound, he opens up new spaces for multidisciplinary research. He places particular emphasis on the physicality of pixels and contemporary LED technology, as well as the transcription of digital works into natural and synthetic materials such as wood, metal, and plastic.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Takeover<\/strong>\u00a0program provides art with the opportunity to \u201ccoexist\u201d with the bustling everyday life of workspaces.

After many years of activity at Pra\u0161ka 4, since 2018, it now operates at the address Kralja Zvonimira 58. Recognizing the need to redefine and create a new cultural identity for the neighborhood where Karas Gallery is located, within the EU project CreART 3.0, a collaborative artistic program titled KARAS + KVART is organized, envisioned<strong>\u00a0in a collaborative and co-creation model between one local artist and one artist from the network<\/strong>. Artists will explore the neighborhood for 3 weeks, and the final result will be an artistic work or initiative in the public space of the gallery neighborhood in October.\u00a0<strong>As part of the KARAS+KVART 2025 project, Petar Vranjkovi\u0107 has been invited to participate, and an international artist will be selected through an open call.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preference will be given to artists who are interested in and expressing themselves through\u00a0<strong>innovative visual, video and\/or sound practices<\/strong>, as well as those who are interested in\u00a0<strong>re-activating the Gallery<\/strong>\u00a0and surrounding neighborhood through working with the local community. Artist Petar Vranjkovi\u0107 envisioned a project based on two connecting concepts: one for American urban sociologist Ray Oldenburg\u2019s gallery as a third space, and one for art historian Ida Biard\u2019s Gallery of Neighbors (La Galerie Des Locataires). More precisely,<strong>\u00a0these concepts have informal interaction and transfer of knowledge at their core<\/strong>, and by applying these ideas, the project aims to further democratize the gallery to the microstructure of its immediate neighborhood and broader citizen community. By doing so, the gallery aims to become a place for temporary residence,\u00a0<strong>an extension to people\u2019s living rooms<\/strong>\u00a0in which the community and artists discuss and work together to explore, via different research methods (including interviews and workshops, shared meals and art), social meanings, as well as the roles the gallery has or can have to express and answer to the needs of the local public.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Petar Vranjkovi\u0107<\/strong>\u00a0(b. 1997) is an transmedial artist and researcher who uses objects from archives, photography, video, printmaking, and design in his research\u2013 and artistic\u2013based processes. He holds an MFA in Animation and New Media from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb.<\/p>\n<p>He is interested in shaping memories and the idea of storytelling through artistic narratives. One of the central themes of his work is the intimate history of the individual, which is an interpretation of the heritage, tradition, and culture of a community and time.<\/p>\n<p>Vranjkovi\u0107\u2019s recent solo exhibitions took place at Kamba, Zagreb (2024); Collection of Vjenceslav Richter and Nada Kare\u0161 Richter, Zagreb (2023); Miroslav Kraljevi\u0107 Gallery, Zagreb (2022).

During their stay, the artists will engage in a diverse cultural program designed to expand their understanding of the city and its surrounding region. The expected outcome of the residency is a community-engaging site-specific performative work. The outcomes of the residency will become part of the \u201cAgora of Values\u201d public program organized by Liep\u0101ja 2027<\/p>\n<p>The \u201cAgora of Values\u201d project is a series of five forums that form the core of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/liepaja2027.lv\/en\/about-unrest\/programme-artistic-vision\/#european-dream\">\u201cEuropean Dream\u201d\u00a0<\/a>section of the \u201cLiep\u0101ja 2027\u201d program. By bringing together prominent experts from Latvia and Europe, the forums will combine contemporary debates on issues important for Latvia, Europe, and the planet, innovative knowledge exchange formats, diverse audience engagement, and artistic elements that will enrich a wide range of discursive events with a comprehensive aesthetic experience.<\/p>\n<p>The first Agora will take place in the year 2025.\u00a0 At the core of the forum\u2019s idea is the widely accepted principle in modern environmental studies that nature and culture must be seen as an inseparable network of relations \u2013 natureculture \u2013 beyond the entrenched opposition that still exists in our minds, attitudes, and institutions. From the anthropocentric view characteristic of the early modern era, which saw humans as the crown of creation and rightful users of nature, we have arrived at a posthumanist vision of humanity as one species among many. Nature\u2019s agency, as the core of the forum\u2019s concept, allows for the exploration of a vast array of topics \u2013 from renewable energy to plant intelligence \u2013 and for articulating scenarios of harmonious and non-hierarchical coexistence between humans, nature, and other species. The discussions of the forum will engage with relevant theoretical perspectives in ecological thinking, such as hydrofeminism, new materialism, agential realism, dark ecology etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO CAN APPLY?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Performance artists of younger generation with experience in public participation and engagement projects, and whose work focuses on the following topics and fields: participatory performance art practices informed by a postanthropocentric worldview that stresses non-hierarchical immersion of human beings in the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Artist Residency is offered for 2 artists who are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>born or currently\u00a0 living in any of the cities that participate in \u2018CreArt.

The main idea of the festival is to celebrate 760 years of the city of \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice on the confluence of two rivers, influencing its identity, forming the stories of its inhabitants, symbolizing the convergence of many cultures and interconnection of local communities.

The creators, together with our audiences, will be exploring (and re-creating) the riverbanks, streets, parks and other spaces through performative arts, visual installations, music, interactive walks and workshops. The purpose of this open call is to bring an international perspective into this mosaic and give space to an artist from the CreArt network to create a sculpture or installation in public space reflecting the topics of the festival.

Nowadays its relevance and increasing number of inhabitants comes from the presence of the University [founded in 1973] and from the industries and companies operating in the technological areas, as well as from the improvement of the harbour facilities, seen as an important gateway to Europe and a strategic point to international trade.<\/p>\n<p>Aveiro is also placed by the central national railway which contributes to the easy traveling to everywhere in the country. All types of services are available and there are several sports and cultural facilities to serve the population and the visitors. Museums, a municipal theater, a congress center and a large number of culture associations and culture agents [CCI] create the pleasant and dynamic cultural atmosphere of the city, highlighted by the Festival dos Canais and the International Biennial of Artistic Ceramics [since 1989]. Encompassing the cultural dynamics, Aveiro has been the first Portuguese Capital of Culture, in 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The lagoon and the canals provide more than a peculiar landscape. The water shapes Aveiro\u2019s urban space and define the community collective memory and heritage.<\/p>\n<p>A city full of history, of several former monasteries, baroque churches, Art Nouveau facades, colored tile panels. With a long tradition in ceramics, fishing [including the famous codfish] and salt production, Aveiro is also known by the 15th century Portuguese princess Joana who chose to live, became nun and is buried in Aveiro [her tomb is a masterpiece of Portuguese baroque]. Blessed since 1693 and motive of deep religious devotion of the community she is the saint patron of Aveiro. Side by side with the city\u2019 long history, is the university campus, a complete catalogue of the Portuguese contemporary architecture design by renowned architects such as the Pritzker\u2019s awarded \u00c1lvaro Siza Vieira and Eduardo Souto Moura.<\/p>\n<p>The weather conditions are pleasant, on both summer and winter, and the brightness provided by the large lagoon and the ocean brings a special glow to the city and the buildings colors.<\/p>\n<p>The beaches around Aveiro [Barra, Costa Nova and S\u00e3o Jacinto] are a main holiday center for people from center Portugal and Spain [Salamanca, Valladolid, Ciudad Rodrigo]. Barra\u2019 beach is also a significant spots for surfing all entire year. Besides that, the lagoon [European protected area \u2013 Natura 2000 network] attracts a large number of visitors and researchers to appreciate and study the landscape and the biodiversity [mainly the birds]. The saltpans still producing according to artisanal methods are one of the major local touristic attractions. Art Nouveau heritage is a significant cultural attraction too [Aveiro takes part of the Art Nouveau European Cultural Route and become the president of the network for the next 3 years], side by side with the moliceiro\u2019 boats and the street art produced by local and renown national artists.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Within the project:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4666 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 151px) 100vw, 151px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H.png 3735w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-200x32.png 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-900x143.png 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-768x122.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-1536x243.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-2048x325.png 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"151\" height=\"24\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Partners:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4669 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici.jpg 2339w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-200x67.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-900x301.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-768x257.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-1536x514.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-2048x685.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"622\" height=\"208\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Co-funded by:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci6.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/bIHmTACj1rBDDdNIKaIw-_ciEoCGM0B-nyX3rx06Eu1pwl8cB6JOalEyLL14LAMToT1jhsoUbjQ5iZXuxdG936Tj4SgrFraR-VXn_LqfhDb4RMEigkr5FKH5TswICVricpN4pmG3vqoswedjj-3L6w0zfCKTtECDAw0=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/e6bcee49-93a3-4097-ba15-818650dd64e8.png\" width=\"150\" height=\"31\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/c3X7g0ca3FnrPyqOJpgbZBPT6eV9rT_sFJugvEkH8bADjsn9uw-LsLj0t8v_44gJmUKph8lvMM_wSqtaYspqV6FhnVnuvGmaZbola88JAzFmoqDtWAWiDPULByHNUZg2SeED6FKdz_vPiP0KH6gjJSmwJzSkLg=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/d6579d1d-ce6e-d7e3-3b96-5138c057c0d0.jpg\" width=\"50\" height=\"53\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/-tJJixiBmBqhXsCdOGo1lYSbjTEZTDLP1yIKYoZ5yucrKh4qgDqVSI4Qz-ykBh3nmo08EcFlaqobkED__3eH2Oqw2u52IyavBon5mDiucHjsbeg7USGqTmi475fr_yBTfx9VdzLjC4jEn3BRTlMr3fNKPttbPRL8xm4=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/5e6e2254-651e-4a4b-952e-30214afcfcb5.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"59\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5195 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549.png 4756w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-200x72.png 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-900x324.png 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-768x277.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-1536x554.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-2048x738.png 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"74\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Co-funded by the European Union \u2013 CREA-CULT-2023-COOP.

Its goal is \u00a0to encourage the city\u2019s inhabitants to reconnect with Lithuania\u2019s major rivers flowing through the city, to open them up for cultural events and community meetings, and to jointly search for the signs and expressions of the identity of the local communities that are located along the rivers. Once a year, on the birthday of Kaunas, a large-scale event called \u201cLet\u2019s Celebrate the River\u201d is organised, when the river and its banks become a space for cultural action.<\/p>\n<p><em>The aim of the River and Land Art Plein Air<\/em>\u00a0is to create a land\/environmental artwork that highlights the riverbank\u2019s unique natural, geographical, cultural and historical context, turning it into a cultural attraction and meeting point.

Her colorful works combine realistic but mostly fictitious portraits with abstract surroundings and overlaps. She mixes acrylic and oil paint with crayon drawings and tapes to indicate different layers of physical and psychic states of people. Her motifs derive from classical art history and literature such as allegories and iconography of love and death, which are transferred into contemporary topics of coming-of-age and identity crises. Currently she works in her studio in Regensburg and exhibits in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic and was awarded several art prizes in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2.png 531w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2-143x200.png 143w\" alt=\"\" width=\"531\" height=\"745\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37812\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot_1-3.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 877px) 100vw, 877px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot_1-3.jpg 877w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot_1-3-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Screenshot_1-3-600x449.jpg 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"877\" height=\"656\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paeterra\/?ref=matcha\">Petra \u0160abi\u0107\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>completed primary school and high school in Bjelovar.

What does the gallery as a general term (but also a specific example of Karas gallery) represent in urban tissue of the city and social evolution in the neighbourhood in which it is located? What is and should be the extension of the gallery and its activities into the public space and social structures surrounding it?<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s artists in residence recognized as particularly interesting the<strong>\u00a0nearby Kvatri\u0107 market, as well as the building above it<\/strong>, which hosts various functions: from the city library, to a variety of bigger and smaller businesses, to the gym and cafe integrated in it. In the same building (entrance from Marti\u0107eva street 67), on the second floor they founded and launched their own agency \u2013\u00a0<strong>Transparency Agency<\/strong>, in the manner of con event, which in a playful and dashing way explores the innovative and artistic use of space.<\/p>\n<p>During three weeks of intensive residence, two artists strive to explore and get to know the market and the building, its inhabitants, customers, their mutual needs, as well as they seek to point out (artistic) potentials hidden in two locations. In this context, Karas Gallery is the starting point that spreads and dissolves to the north, as a space for\u00a0<strong>recording reflections, found and newly created<\/strong>, and as one of digital but tangible extensions of intertwined spaces, ideas and plays.<\/p>\n<p>Join us for the series of events through which you will be able t<strong>o meet the artists themselves, their Agency, co-existence of public and private space of the building, market and surroundings, as well as segments from the past and the speculated future.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Saturday, 19th October<\/strong><br \/>\n17-22: join the Gallery Rally at the Karas Gallery, where you will get a glance at the research segments of two artists<br \/>\n21-24h: join the DJ session on the second floor of the building (Marti\u0107eva 67) with the program of three guest DJs<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday 21st October<\/strong><br \/>\n16-20h: join the artists at the delicately decorated Agency and learn more about it (second floor of the building on Marti\u0107eva 67)<br \/>\nat 18h: join the tour through the building and surrounding area led by architect Mirna Udov\u010di\u0107<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, 22nd October<\/strong><br \/>\n16-20h: join the artists at the delicately decorated Agency and learn more about it (second floor of the building on Marti\u0107eva 67)<br \/>\nat 18h: join Karl\u2019s experimental workshop<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, 23rd October<\/strong><br \/>\n16-20h: join the artists at the delicately decorated Agency and learn more about it (second floor of the building on Marti\u0107eva 67)<br \/>\nat 18h: join Luana\u2019s experimental storytelling beginning in Karas Gallery (Zvonimirova 58)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Details of the program will be released shortly.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About artists<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Karl Iaro<\/strong><br \/>\nKarl Iaro is a visual artist based in Regensburg, Germany. Many of his works evolve around playful explorations of light and motion phenomena and the mechanisms connecting them. He earned a BA in Industrial Design in Regensburg, completing his Erasmus studies in Barcelona, followed by an internship in industrial design at Porto\u2019s studio ideia.m and another one at opo.lab. He has been developing his independent artistic practice since 2018. His work springs from a joyful and loving perspective which blasts beauty as an agent for engagement. n the process he likes to apply an hands-on approach, embracing any kind of material, medium or technical device. After focusing mainly on objects and installations he further implemented multimedia, social events, interventions and stage design to the scope of his exerted artforms. As part of a collective \u201eKulturviertel\u201c in Regensburg, managing a sociocultural space, he gathered experience in cultural organizing, curating, event management and also political action. Recently he started taking his practice out of his incubator Regensburg, availing himself to the opportunity of hitting a bigger playground.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luana Loji\u0107<\/strong><br \/>\nLuana Loji\u0107 is an artist and experimental factographer based in Croatia whose practice orbits around narrative texts, spatial playlists and multimedia installations. She imagines sensory data as a wide, autonomous, free, chaotic, elastic and promiscuous being. In her work she often explores topics of geomotionality, object empathy and sensuous waste. She turns to media translations, wordsmithing, dialogues and delicate visual entities as love gestures in times of crisis. She shares her life with her companion dog Ulla and constitutes one sixth of the art collective The Lovers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Within the project:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4666 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 151px) 100vw, 151px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H.png 3735w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-200x32.png 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-900x143.png 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-768x122.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-1536x243.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-2048x325.png 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"151\" height=\"24\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Partners:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4669 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici.jpg 2339w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-200x67.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-900x301.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-768x257.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-1536x514.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-2048x685.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"622\" height=\"208\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Co-funded by:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci6.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/bIHmTACj1rBDDdNIKaIw-_ciEoCGM0B-nyX3rx06Eu1pwl8cB6JOalEyLL14LAMToT1jhsoUbjQ5iZXuxdG936Tj4SgrFraR-VXn_LqfhDb4RMEigkr5FKH5TswICVricpN4pmG3vqoswedjj-3L6w0zfCKTtECDAw0=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/e6bcee49-93a3-4097-ba15-818650dd64e8.png\" width=\"150\" height=\"31\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/c3X7g0ca3FnrPyqOJpgbZBPT6eV9rT_sFJugvEkH8bADjsn9uw-LsLj0t8v_44gJmUKph8lvMM_wSqtaYspqV6FhnVnuvGmaZbola88JAzFmoqDtWAWiDPULByHNUZg2SeED6FKdz_vPiP0KH6gjJSmwJzSkLg=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/d6579d1d-ce6e-d7e3-3b96-5138c057c0d0.jpg\" width=\"50\" height=\"53\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/-tJJixiBmBqhXsCdOGo1lYSbjTEZTDLP1yIKYoZ5yucrKh4qgDqVSI4Qz-ykBh3nmo08EcFlaqobkED__3eH2Oqw2u52IyavBon5mDiucHjsbeg7USGqTmi475fr_yBTfx9VdzLjC4jEn3BRTlMr3fNKPttbPRL8xm4=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/5e6e2254-651e-4a4b-952e-30214afcfcb5.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"59\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5195 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549.png 4756w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-200x72.png 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-900x324.png 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-768x277.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-1536x554.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-2048x738.png 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"74\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Co-funded by the European Union \u2013 CREA-CULT-2023-COOP.

The former industrial complex Spinnerei in the Plagwitz district spans 10 hectares and has been almost entirely renovated, now serving as the heart of the local and international art scene with 12 galleries, the non-profit art center Halle 14, and around a hundred resident artists. The residency program\u00a0<em>De\/construction of Painting<\/em>\u00a0tries to answer the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To what extent is the idea of an image\/painting still a cultural construct within various dichotomies (Western-Eastern, industrial-post-industrial)?<\/li>\n<li>How does the media in which the painting is formed correspond to the concepts of representing different realities?<\/li>\n<li>What is individual in the image\/painting and what is symbolic or universal?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Part of this year\u2019s residency program takes place within the\u00a0<strong>EU project CreART 3.0<\/strong>, a European network of medium-sized cities aimed at exchanging experiences and best practices to promote contemporary art through a continuous transnational mobility program for emerging artists, curators, and cultural workers, in order to maximize the economic, social, and cultural contributions that creativity can bring to local communities.

Considered a city at the crossroads of Eastern and Western culture, in the past it had an international character, with a large Jewish population living here. Lublin is home to numerous cultural institutions, museums and galleries, as well as non-governmental organizations that animate cultural life.

You can also participate in a number of other events: come to an author\u2019s meeting about a book, watch a movie, take part in discussions on important, current topics, take advantage of the open reading room and a rich workshop offer.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery constantly reacts to the changing artistic and social reality. The exhibitions organized in Galeria Labirynt are distinguished by their topicality and the combination of what is local with what is universal. The events often take on a national or international scale. The mission of the gallery is to follow the pulse of modern art, to notice its most interesting phenomena, and to discover important contexts. Galeria Labirynt also has an extensive collection of works of art from the beginning of the 1960s, which hosts various presentations and also plays an educational role.<\/p>\n<p>Openness and accessibility are the goals we strive for all the time. We dream of creating an institution without barriers, so we want everyone to feel welcome with us \u2013 regardless of their native language, age, origin, degree of ability, etc. Our offer includes foreigners \u2013 students and migrants, the elderly, children and youth, as well as the needs of various other groups, such as d\/Deaf, partially sighted and blind people.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CREART AiR PROGRAMME<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Within the framework of CreArt 3.0, the city of Lublin and the Galeria Labirynt launch a residency for 2 artists, one from Lublin and one from the CreArt network.

The former industrial complex Spinnerei in the Plagwitz district spans 10 hectares and has been almost entirely renovated, now serving as the heart of the local and international art scene with 12 galleries, the non-profit art center Halle 14, and around a hundred resident artists.

Her colorful works combine realistic but mostly fictitious portraits with abstract surroundings and overlaps. She mixes acrylic and oil paint with crayon drawings and tapes to indicate different layers of physical and psychic states of people. Her motifs derive from classical art history and literature such as allegories and iconography of love and death, which are transferred into contemporary topics of coming-of-age and identity crises. Currently she works in her studio in Regensburg and exhibits in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic and was awarded several art prizes in Germany.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2.png 531w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/2-143x200.png 143w\" alt=\"\" width=\"531\" height=\"745\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paeterra\/?ref=matcha\">Petra \u0160abi\u0107\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>completed primary school and high school in Bjelovar.

It is characterized by its medieval town centre and its location by the river Danube. The city has around 160.000 inhabitants. Due to the universities, many young people live in Regensburg, which makes it both modern and traditional at the same time. Well-known landmarks include the Stone Bridge from the 12th century and the Gothic cathedral with its twin towers. The winding city centre, the many charming caf\u00e9s and the colourful houses exude Italian flair in the heart of Bavaria, which is why Regensburg is also known as the \u2018northernmost city in Italy\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>CONDITIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Organization will offer a grant: 1000 \u20ac (+ refund up to 400 \u20ac for material and production costs, + refund up to 400 \u20ac for travel.\u00a0 The artist will stay and work at the atelier of the historical building Andreasstadel, a cultural venue close to the river that combines a cinema, gallery and several studios.

Based in Zagreb, Croatia, KU\u0106\u0106A currently consists of curators Jurica Mlinarec, Klara Petrovi\u0107, and Luja \u0160imunovi\u0107. \u201cParticipation in the project is seen as a continuation of our curatorial practice, which is operationally and conceptually focused on close collaboration with local emerging artists and collectives. These are award-winning participants of the new generation of the local art scene, whose artistic vocabulary is characterized by a certain ease of visual language and the construction of fictional worlds through strong storytelling. Our curatorial engagement in recent years has also considered the historical, socio-political, and spatial topographies of the venues of artistic events we have organized (the 63rd edition of the Pore\u010d Annals, the 36th edition of the Youth Salon titled PARASITES).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the artists:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrej Be\u0161tak (1993) and Anja Leko (1991)<\/strong>\u00a0are an artistic duo born in Zagreb. Their artistic practice includes installations, performances, and video works. They are mostly considered narrators in space, using visual language and sounds rather than words to create an emotional dialogue between the artwork and the audience. Both graduated in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. They have been operating as an artistic duo since 2020, exhibiting in solo and group exhibitions, participating in artistic residencies, and receiving awards for their work, including the Grand Prix at the 36th Youth Salon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert Fenrich (1995)<\/strong>\u00a0is an interdisciplinary artist based in Zagreb, exploring the boundaries of image, atmosphere, and sound. Using various media, he raises questions about the marginal relationships of traditional dichotomies: fiction and reality, technology and nature, substance and negative space. He graduated in printmaking in 2020 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. In 2018, he founded the informal art collective Medium Movement, conceived as a space for experimentation and a platform for the production of hybrid forms of entertainment, which lasted until mid-2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teuta Gatolin (1993)<\/strong>\u00a0is an intermedia artist currently interested in narrating ecology, exploring how narratives about nature are constructed, the subversive potential of mythological tricksters, and considering technology as a companion species to humans. She was a participant in the third generation of the WHW Academy. Gatolin has exhibited in four solo exhibitions and numerous group shows. She has participated in festivals such as Improspekcije, Week of Contemporary Dance, Platform HR, Perforations, Museum Night, among others. She was a recipient of the Erste Fragments Award for Young Artists for 2019\/2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaia Radi\u0107 (2001)<\/strong>\u00a0is a new media artist. In her projects, she explores the correlation between virtual, mental, and physical spaces through the combined use of computer graphics and spatial installations. She graduated in sculpture from the Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka, Croatia, and currently resides in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where she is studying architecture at the Faculty of Architecture and video, animation, and new media at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ROSE collective<\/strong>\u00a0is a group of three artists who specialize in performances and audiovisual installations. It was formed in 2017 by\u00a0<strong>Bruna Jakupovi\u0107 (1998), Lana Lehpamer (1997), and Ivor Tamarut (1998)<\/strong>. At the final exhibition of the New Media department in 2019, they performed their first collaborative piece, which involved improvisation and interaction between live sound and image within a closed loop. Since then, the collective has continued to explore ideas of communication, collaboration, and improvisation through collective artistic expression. In 2021, the collective exhibited a site-specific work titled \u201cWorking Spaces\u201d at the CEKAO gallery and performed \u201cSpeaking Spaces\u201d at the VN gallery in the same year. In 2023, they began a research project and residency as part of GMK, where they developed the concept and conducted research on Rose Velvet \u2013 a virtual persona designed as a starting point for further exploration of artificial intelligence, algorithms, and the infrastructure upon which the entire online sphere relies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Takeover<\/strong>\u00a0program provides art with the opportunity to \u201ccoexist\u201d with the bustling everyday life of workspaces.

Lumo Light Festival celebrates light and visual arts during the darkest time of the year in Northern Finland as a city-wide open event. Located and organized by the City of Oulu, Lumo is the largest festival in Oulu area and a solid audience-favorite with over 100.000 annual visitors on the festival weekend.<\/p>\n<p>A special theme at Lumo Light Festival 2024 is\u00a0<em>interaction<\/em>. We encourage artists to contemplate how to promote and encourage open and respectful dialogue between different points of view and showcase this in their installation proposals. Lumo Light Festival is an integral part of Oulu\u2019s upcoming European Capital of Culture year Oulu2026 and the city\u2019s work in the UNESCO Creative Cities Network for Media Arts.<\/p>\n<p>As the installations of the Lumo Light Festival are traditionally concentrated in the Oulu city centre, the CreArt residency wants to take visual art to new, surprising locations on the borders of Oulu and create art pieces in our peri-urban and rural communities with the CreArt AiR Program 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The Urban Neighbourhood Culture facilities of Cultural Centre Valve produce and develop neighborhood culture and opportunities for cultural activities in different districts of Oulu. The aim of the district activities is to support and promote the regions\u2019 own cultural activities.

After many years of activity at Pra\u0161ka 4, since 2018, it has been operating at the address Kralja Zvonimira 58. Recognizing the need for redefining and creating a new cultural identity for the neighborhood where Karas Gallery is located, within the EU project CreART 3.0, a collaborative artistic program titled KARAS + KVART is organized, envisioned\u00a0<strong>in a collaborative and co-creation model between one local artist and one artist from the network<\/strong>. Artists will explore the neighborhood for 2 weeks, and the final result will be an artistic work or initiative in the public space of the gallery neighborhood in October. As part of\u00a0<strong>KARAS+KVART 2024<\/strong>\u00a0project,\u00a0<strong>Luana Loji\u0107 has been invited to participate, and an international artist will be selected through an Open call.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preference will be given to artists who are interested in and express themselves through innovative visual, auditory, multimedia, and research practices, or who contemplate the function and activation of public space, responding to the concept of the artist Luana Loji\u0107, which is envisioned as a series of performative actions in the neighborhood in the format of a con-event, simulating cultural content. In its absence, the concept compensates with temporary and exaggerated performances in the form of film projections, spoken word poetry, parties (VJ\/DJ session), podcasts, and dances that convince viewers that they are really happening (e.g., projection on a factory, podcast at the market, contemporary dance around and through the square, party in one of the vacant spaces, etc.). The artist imagines \u2018scenes\u2019 or \u2018illusions\u2019 unfolding simultaneously while the content\u2019s focus is dispersed, and the theme plays with performance options and hallucinations of unused spaces and public areas. Fictional events would rely on confusion inductions (methods of verbalizing nonsense in a monotonous tone, used in hypnotherapy to put the rational part of the brain to sleep). Themes and formats, as well as additional collaborators and performances\/scenes, would be developed in collaboration with the selected artist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luana Loji\u0107 (1991)<\/strong>\u00a0deals with applied cosmophilia and internet nomadism. From poetry for stones to live installations, videos, films, voiceovers, and live art addressing the relationship between humans and the systems, perceptions, and materialities surrounding them, her work seeks to understand natural processes beyond and within the concept of senses. She has received numerous awards for her work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO CAN APPLY<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Artists born or residing in one of the cities in the project network: Kaunas (Lithuania), Liepaja (Lithuania), Skopje (North Macedonia), Aveiro (Portugal), Valladolid (Spain), Lublin (Poland), Venice (Italy), Clermont-Ferrand and Rouen (France), \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice (Czech Republic), Oulu (Finland), Regensburg (Germany)<\/li>\n<li>Ukrainian artists through our collaboration with the Lviv Artistic Council \u201cDialog\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>GRANT CONDITIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Organizer (HDLU) will provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Three-week accommodation<\/strong>\u00a0for artists in residence (October 2024)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Round-trip ticket expenses to and from Zagreb<\/strong>\u00a0up to a maximum of 400 EUR<\/li>\n<li><strong>Artistic fee<\/strong>\u00a0in the amount of 1,200 EUR\/gross<\/li>\n<li><strong>Daily allowance<\/strong>\u00a0of 30 EUR\/day<\/li>\n<li><strong>Production cost\u00a0<\/strong>of new artwork(s) in the amount of 5,000 EUR\/gross, resulting from the joint action and collaboration between artists.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Report<\/strong>: Upon return from the residency, artists are required to submit a brief narrative report containing evidence of newly created works (<strong>in English<\/strong>), and boarding passes if traveling by plane.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contract<\/strong>: Before going to the residency, the artist will sign a contract with HDLU,\u00a0<strong>committing to participating in CreArt promotional activities until the project ends in 2026, in agreement with HDLU.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Only complete and timely applications will be considered.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Selection Committee: Nika \u0160imi\u010di\u0107, Mihaela Zajec, and Luana Loji\u0107<\/p>\n<p>The Committee is not obliged to justify the selection decision.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW TO APPLY:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Send an email to: karas.hdlu@gmail.com with the subject: KARAS+KVART, including the following documentation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ID card or passport (scanned)<\/li>\n<li>Motivational letter (max 500 words) and a brief written project proposal (one A4 page)<\/li>\n<li>Curriculum vitae in English<\/li>\n<li>Portfolio of works and artistic activity (in PDF, max 7 MB; for video works \u2013 include links to online publications in the PDF)<\/li>\n<li>Artists need to register on the CreArt website and upload their portfolio:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/creart2-eu.org\/creart-news\/hdlu-launches-creart-art-in-public-space-2024-karas-kvart\"><strong>LINK<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEADLINES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Applications accepted until<\/strong>: June 7, 2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>Announcement of results<\/strong>: no later than June 15, 2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contract signing with HDLU<\/strong>: two weeks before departure<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submission of report<\/strong>: 1 week after the end of the residency<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The contact person for all questions is Mihaela Zajec, karas.hdlu@gmail.com.

At the same time, CreArt 3.0 is pushing the boundaries (#pushboundaries) beyond the visual arts, empowering other artistic practices such as performing arts or music, and new collaborations with an NGO based in Lviv have also been initiated to support Ukrainian artists. Participating cities are: Kaunas, Liepaja, Skopje, Aveiro, Valladolid, Lublin, Venice, Clermont-Ferrand, Rouen, \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice, Oulu and Regensburg. The project includes 45 residency programs in 15 European cities, more than 39 public events to celebrate the European Month of Creativity in 13 cities from the network, 13 educational programs to strengthen creativity and knowledge about contemporary art, 18 Street Art festivals, 10 annual festivals in galleries in 9 cities and 6 European conferences and study visits.<\/p>\n<p>Organizer:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-2720 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/hdlu.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"142\" height=\"63\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Within the project:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4666 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 151px) 100vw, 151px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H.png 3735w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-200x32.png 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-900x143.png 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-768x122.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-1536x243.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Creart-3.0-H-2048x325.png 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"151\" height=\"24\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Partners:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-4669 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici.jpg 2339w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-200x67.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-900x301.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-768x257.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-1536x514.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/logici-2048x685.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"622\" height=\"208\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Co-funded by:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci6.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/bIHmTACj1rBDDdNIKaIw-_ciEoCGM0B-nyX3rx06Eu1pwl8cB6JOalEyLL14LAMToT1jhsoUbjQ5iZXuxdG936Tj4SgrFraR-VXn_LqfhDb4RMEigkr5FKH5TswICVricpN4pmG3vqoswedjj-3L6w0zfCKTtECDAw0=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/e6bcee49-93a3-4097-ba15-818650dd64e8.png\" width=\"150\" height=\"31\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/c3X7g0ca3FnrPyqOJpgbZBPT6eV9rT_sFJugvEkH8bADjsn9uw-LsLj0t8v_44gJmUKph8lvMM_wSqtaYspqV6FhnVnuvGmaZbola88JAzFmoqDtWAWiDPULByHNUZg2SeED6FKdz_vPiP0KH6gjJSmwJzSkLg=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/mcusercontent.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/d6579d1d-ce6e-d7e3-3b96-5138c057c0d0.jpg\" width=\"50\" height=\"53\" \/>\u00a0\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"CToWUd\" src=\"https:\/\/ci5.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/-tJJixiBmBqhXsCdOGo1lYSbjTEZTDLP1yIKYoZ5yucrKh4qgDqVSI4Qz-ykBh3nmo08EcFlaqobkED__3eH2Oqw2u52IyavBon5mDiucHjsbeg7USGqTmi475fr_yBTfx9VdzLjC4jEn3BRTlMr3fNKPttbPRL8xm4=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/gallery.mailchimp.com\/dc999d39409d6a659310f8f4d\/images\/5e6e2254-651e-4a4b-952e-30214afcfcb5.png\" width=\"50\" height=\"59\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5195 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 205px) 100vw, 205px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549.png 4756w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-200x72.png 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-900x324.png 900w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-768x277.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-1536x554.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ured-za-udruge_LOGO_ENG_RGB_300dpi_vertical-e1738324867549-2048x738.png 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"205\" height=\"74\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Co-funded by the European Union \u2013 CREA-CULT-2023-COOP.

Through lectures and panel discussions, seminar participants of \u201cGreat Expectations\u201d will have the opportunity to learn about various aspects of professionalizing their artistic practice. Key points covered in this seminar include the presentation of the international art scene and different areas of activity within institutional, independent, or commercial contexts, as well as the importance of the relationship between artists, curators, and professionals in the creative sector. Professionalizing artistic practice also involves career guidance for young artists, which will also take place through lectures and discussions on developing one\u2019s own style, the importance of choosing the right places for exhibition, and maintaining successful relationships with various institutions, collectors, and other actors in the art systems. Our aim is to provide free access to knowledge that they could not acquire during formal education, which is crucial for strengthening their business skills. The all-day program ends with a portfolio review where artists have the opportunity to discuss their work with a team of international curators.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"x11i5rnm xat24cr

Based in Zagreb, Croatia, KU\u0106\u0106A currently consists of curators Jurica Mlinarec, Klara Petrovi\u0107, and Luja \u0160imunovi\u0107. \u201cParticipation in the project is seen as a continuation of our curatorial practice, which is operationally and conceptually focused on close collaboration with local emerging artists and collectives. These are award-winning participants of the new generation of the local art scene, whose artistic vocabulary is characterized by a certain ease of visual language and the construction of fictional worlds through strong storytelling. Our curatorial engagement in recent years has also considered the historical, socio-political, and spatial topographies of the venues of artistic events we have organized (the 63rd edition of the Pore\u010d Annals, the 36th edition of the Youth Salon titled PARASITES).\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the artists:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Andrej Be\u0161tak (1993) and Anja Leko (1991)<\/strong>\u00a0are an artistic duo born in Zagreb. Their artistic practice includes installations, performances, and video works. They are mostly considered narrators in space, using visual language and sounds rather than words to create an emotional dialogue between the artwork and the audience. Both graduated in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. They have been operating as an artistic duo since 2020, exhibiting in solo and group exhibitions, participating in artistic residencies, and receiving awards for their work, including the Grand Prix at the 36th Youth Salon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Robert Fenrich (1995)<\/strong>\u00a0is an interdisciplinary artist based in Zagreb, exploring the boundaries of image, atmosphere, and sound. Using various media, he raises questions about the marginal relationships of traditional dichotomies: fiction and reality, technology and nature, substance and negative space. He graduated in printmaking in 2020 from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. In 2018, he founded the informal art collective Medium Movement, conceived as a space for experimentation and a platform for the production of hybrid forms of entertainment, which lasted until mid-2023.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Teuta Gatolin (1993)<\/strong>\u00a0is an intermedia artist currently interested in narrating ecology, exploring how narratives about nature are constructed, the subversive potential of mythological tricksters, and considering technology as a companion species to humans. She was a participant in the third generation of the WHW Academy. Gatolin has exhibited in four solo exhibitions and numerous group shows. She has participated in festivals such as Improspekcije, Week of Contemporary Dance, Platform HR, Perforations, Museum Night, among others. She was a recipient of the Erste Fragments Award for Young Artists for 2019\/2020.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gaia Radi\u0107 (2001)<\/strong>\u00a0is a new media artist. In her projects, she explores the correlation between virtual, mental, and physical spaces through the combined use of computer graphics and spatial installations. She graduated in sculpture from the Academy of Applied Arts in Rijeka, Croatia, and currently resides in Ljubljana, Slovenia, where she is studying architecture at the Faculty of Architecture and video, animation, and new media at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The ROSE collective<\/strong>\u00a0is a group of three artists who specialize in performances and audiovisual installations. It was formed in 2017 by\u00a0<strong>Bruna Jakupovi\u0107 (1998), Lana Lehpamer (1997), and Ivor Tamarut (1998)<\/strong>. At the final exhibition of the New Media department in 2019, they performed their first collaborative piece, which involved improvisation and interaction between live sound and image within a closed loop. Since then, the collective has continued to explore ideas of communication, collaboration, and improvisation through collective artistic expression. In 2021, the collective exhibited a site-specific work titled \u201cWorking Spaces\u201d at the CEKAO gallery and performed \u201cSpeaking Spaces\u201d at the VN gallery in the same year. In 2023, they began a research project and residency as part of GMK, where they developed the concept and conducted research on Rose Velvet \u2013 a virtual persona designed as a starting point for further exploration of artificial intelligence, algorithms, and the infrastructure upon which the entire online sphere relies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<strong>Takeover<\/strong>\u00a0program provides art with the opportunity to \u201ccoexist\u201d with the bustling everyday life of workspaces. In doing so, artistic works become active participants in the non-artistic world, blurring the sharp boundaries between the corporate and artistic sectors, while retaining their ever-present power to reshape our reality.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More about Takeover at:<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.takeover.hdlu.hr\/\"><strong>www.takeover.hdlu.hr<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>***<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>CreArt<\/strong>\u00a0is a network of 13 medium-sized European cities aimed at exchanging experiences and best practices to promote contemporary art through a continuous transnational mobility program for emerging artists, curators, and cultural workers, in order to maximize the economic, social, and cultural contributions that creativity can bring to local communities. At the same time, CreArt 3.0 pushes boundaries beyond visual arts, empowering other artistic practices such as performing arts or music, and has also initiated a new collaboration with a non-governmental organization based in Lviv to support Ukrainian artists. The participating cities are: Kaunas, Liepaja, Skopje, Aveiro, Valladolid, Lublin, Venice, Clermont-Ferrand, Rouen, \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice, Oulu, and Regensburg.

Artists will explore the neighborhood for 2 weeks, and the final result will be an artistic work or initiative in the public space of the gallery neighborhood in October. As part of\u00a0<strong>KARAS+KVART 2024<\/strong>\u00a0project,\u00a0<strong>Luana Loji\u0107 has been invited to participate, and an international artist will be selected through an Open call.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Preference will be given to artists who are interested in and express themselves through innovative visual, auditory, multimedia, and research practices, or who contemplate the function and activation of public space, responding to the concept of the artist Luana Loji\u0107, which is envisioned as a series of performative actions in the neighborhood in the format of a con-event, simulating cultural content. In its absence, the concept compensates with temporary and exaggerated performances in the form of film projections, spoken word poetry, parties (VJ\/DJ session), podcasts, and dances that convince viewers that they are really happening (e.g., projection on a factory, podcast at the market, contemporary dance around and through the square, party in one of the vacant spaces, etc.). The artist imagines \u2018scenes\u2019 or \u2018illusions\u2019 unfolding simultaneously while the content\u2019s focus is dispersed, and the theme plays with performance options and hallucinations of unused spaces and public areas. Fictional events would rely on confusion inductions (methods of verbalizing nonsense in a monotonous tone, used in hypnotherapy to put the rational part of the brain to sleep). Themes and formats, as well as additional collaborators and performances\/scenes, would be developed in collaboration with the selected artist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Luana Loji\u0107 (1991)<\/strong>\u00a0deals with applied cosmophilia and internet nomadism. From poetry for stones to live installations, videos, films, voiceovers, and live art addressing the relationship between humans and the systems, perceptions, and materialities surrounding them, her work seeks to understand natural processes beyond and within the concept of senses. She has received numerous awards for her work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>WHO CAN APPLY<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Artists born or residing in one of the cities in the project network: Kaunas (Lithuania), Liepaja (Lithuania), Skopje (North Macedonia), Aveiro (Portugal), Valladolid (Spain), Lublin (Poland), Venice (Italy), Clermont-Ferrand and Rouen (France), \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice (Czech Republic), Oulu (Finland), Regensburg (Germany)<\/li>\n<li>Ukrainian artists through our collaboration with the Lviv Artistic Council \u201cDialog\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>GRANT CONDITIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Organizer (HDLU) will provide:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Three-week accommodation<\/strong>\u00a0for artists in residence (October 2024)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Round-trip ticket expenses to and from Zagreb<\/strong>\u00a0up to a maximum of 400 EUR<\/li>\n<li><strong>Artistic fee<\/strong>\u00a0in the amount of 1,200 EUR\/gross<\/li>\n<li><strong>Daily allowance<\/strong>\u00a0of 30 EUR\/day<\/li>\n<li><strong>Production cost\u00a0<\/strong>of new artwork(s) in the amount of 5,000 EUR\/gross, resulting from the joint action and collaboration between artists.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Report<\/strong>: Upon return from the residency, artists are required to submit a brief narrative report containing evidence of newly created works (<strong>in English<\/strong>), and boarding passes if traveling by plane.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Contract<\/strong>: Before going to the residency, the artist will sign a contract with HDLU,\u00a0<strong>committing to participating in CreArt promotional activities until the project ends in 2026, in agreement with HDLU.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Only complete and timely applications will be considered.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Selection Committee: Nika \u0160imi\u010di\u0107, Mihaela Zajec, and Luana Loji\u0107<\/p>\n<p>The Committee is not obliged to justify the selection decision.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>HOW TO APPLY:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Send an email to: karas.hdlu@gmail.com with the subject: KARAS+KVART, including the following documentation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ID card or passport (scanned)<\/li>\n<li>Motivational letter (max 500 words) and a brief written project proposal (one A4 page)<\/li>\n<li>Curriculum vitae in English<\/li>\n<li>Portfolio of works and artistic activity (in PDF, max 7 MB; for video works \u2013 include links to online publications in the PDF)<\/li>\n<li>Artists need to register on the CreArt website and upload their portfolio:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/creart2-eu.org\/creart-news\/hdlu-launches-creart-art-in-public-space-2024-karas-kvart\"><strong>LINK<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEADLINES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Applications accepted until<\/strong>: June 7, 2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>Announcement of results<\/strong>: no later than June 15, 2024<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contract signing with HDLU<\/strong>: two weeks before departure<\/p>\n<p><strong>Submission of report<\/strong>: 1 week after the end of the residency<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>QUESTIONS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The contact person for all questions is Mihaela Zajec, karas.hdlu@gmail.com.

The goal of the Youth Salon is to help young fine and visual artists in the development of their artistic practice and careers through its exhibition, performance and international accompanying programs, as well as to introduce new artistic movements of the contemporary visual arts scene to the public. The thematically determined central exhibition of the 37th Youth Salon titled\u00a0<strong><em>The Clock Fell Into the Well\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>curated by\u00a0<strong>Lovro Japund\u017ei\u0107,\u00a0<\/strong>featuring the works of 30 selected and invited artists, opens on Thursday, 25 April at 7 p.m. at the Home of the Croatian Association of Fine Artists \/ Me\u0161trovi\u0107 Pavilion.<\/p>\n<p>The works in the exhibition explore the possibilities that arise due to the mismatch with the normative flow of time, manifested through the exploration of new directions of previously neglected relationships with time. Through a broad thematic lens in their works, which include an exceptionally large number of various installations, as well as sculptures, photographs, mosaics, and video works, the artists look for moments of interruption and gaps that free us from imposed temporal frameworks, limitations and demands of the immediate present. Among the thematic preoccupations, there is a visible focus on the increasing impossibility of separating online and offline life, and consequently the overlapping of memories and the creation of narratives that are personal, but at the same time public and everyone\u2019s, which leads us to reactualize and interpret our own past with the help of other people\u2019s experiences from the Internet, through recording daily routines, dissociations, digital and mental escapism, passing time, even pausing and negating work, entropy, speculative futures, dispersed emotions, and the inevitable concern for endangered natural resources.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/salonmladih.hdlu.hr\/umjetnici\/\"><b>37 th Youth Salon \u2013 Artist<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>About the curator of the exhibition\u00a0<em>The Clock Fell Into the Well<\/em><\/strong>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lovro Japund\u017ei\u0107<\/strong>\u00a0(1990, Zagreb) completed studies in art history and sociology at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb and the CuratorLab program at the Konstfack University of Arts, Crafts and Design in Sweden.
