In conjunction with the exhibition BORROWORROB: in search of symmetry, the HDLU is hosting a conference on the relationship between art, the city, economy, and space.\u00a0 Artists, designers, activists, anthropologists, cultural workers, and lawyers will address these relationships in terms of two interrelated themes: Doubling Space and Space as Asset.
\nDoubling Space<\/strong>
\nIn many ways, contemporary art practices double and fold the space of the city back into itself.\u00a0 In the late 19th century, Manet\u2019s Bar at the Folies-Berger\u00e8 (1882), in which issues of class, gender, spectacle are raised to the surface of a new visibility concurrently through the transformation of painting as a social, commercial, and formal enterprise.\u00a0 What are some of the important contemporary gestures in which space is doubled, folded, and repeated in the urban context through artistic or political practices and what are their effects? How do these practices constitute forms of spatial redistribution and new forms of visibility?\u00a0 What are the historical, economic, social, and political forces of which they are the product?\u00a0 What histories do they seek to establish?\u00a0 To what extent are they distinct from or contribute to global influences reshaping the urban environment?<\/em>
\nSpace as Asset<\/strong>
\nOn a global level, the financialization of art has created extremely strong markets that have outperformed many others, even during times of financial crisis.\u00a0 From this perspective art operates globally as a form of currency.\u00a0 But there are other forces, organizing practices that are creating new spaces and new economic relations, in which both \u201cpractice\u201d is spatially redistributed.\u00a0 As art becomes increasingly developed as a global form of investment, and simultaneously, as the global fair circuit is doubling every few years, mining local cultures and geographic regions for \u201cundervalued\u201d practices and trends, critical contemporary artistic practices are reshaping art as commodity, as asset, or as object.\u00a0 How are these challenges being explored today in Zagreb, regionally in the Balkans, and in what way do the historical forces that have shaped the region point to, away from, or against many of these global systems?\u00a0 What are the spatial assets that art seeks to redistribute, how are they redistributed, and for whom?<\/em>
