Within the first stage of the project, the group of artists (Vanja Babi\u0107, Nicola Genovese, Ivana Pipal, Jovana Popi\u0107 and Andri Stadler), curators (Katja Baumhoff, Bojan Mucko and Josip Zanki) and students of the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb (Ivan Barun and Katrin Radovani), The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb (Maja Flajsig) and the University of Zadar (Aleksandar Toma\u0161) stayed on the southern part of Velebit (partly in the Paklenica National Park and on the mountain tops), conducting contemporary art research in situ in the mountainous context.<\/p>\n

On the last day of the project on Velebit, on June 17, 2018, a professional conference was held in cooperation with the The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Zagreb and the Department of Anthropology and Ethnology of the University of Zadar. Besides our students and artists, our distinguished ethnologist and anthropologist, Mario Kati\u0107, P.h.D., held a speech on the conference. Nevena \u0160krbi\u0107 Alempijevi\u0107, P.h.D. and Jelena Kupsjak participated also.<\/p>\n

The project through residencies on Velebit, Austrian Alps and Swiss Alps practically and artistically analysises concepts such as: living utopia, free shelters, Joseph Beuy’s backpack, walks as a performative and artistic instrument, mountain as a life style, mountain as an existential minimum, free and working time relationship and landscape as an images, experiences and public good. Also, the project tries to answer the question of how today’s artistic, precarious work escapistically, utopistically, dystopically or mimicrically fits into everyday mountain life.<\/p>\n

Velebit, emptied by the migrations of the second half of the 20th century, has historically been characterized by transhumance cattle-breeding (seasonal movements of people and livestock between summer and winter pastures at different altitudes). It is interesting to compare the legacy of the coastal ethnic group Bunjevci in today’s context of the rapid disappearance of of cattle-breeding on Velebit and Swiss, alpine examples of “conservation” of traditional cattle-breeding models – comparable to the concept of a living open-air museum.<\/p>\n

Unlike Velebit, which is interlaced with free shelters for hikers, staying in Austrian and Swiss mountain lodges is part of elite tourism. Throughout history, Velebit was the place where rebels like hajduks, uskoks, and loners, who seek escape from civilization, stayed. Therefore, the utopian aspect of the mountain is present even today as a model of escape into the imagined Utopia (to paraphrase Hakim Bey – the mythical Croatan).<\/p>\n
