At first glance, &#8220;Hold my Beer\/People Pleaser&#8221; seems like a charming and somewhat self-indulgent jest. A used bathtub filled with water, ice and cans of Zden-Cola and Mik\u0161i\u0107ko beer, and the artist, Zdenko Mik\u0161a, in red swimming shorts and a bathrobe boldly immersing himself in the cold water. Yet beneath the surface lies a deeper exploration of artistic intention. (\u2026)<br \/>\nZdenko decided to condense the holy triad of art openings, the adoration of art, hedonistic socializing and drinking, into a unique performative act. At the same time, he has encouraged those gathered to reflect on the primary motives that drive them to attend art events.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Preface.pdf\">PREFACE<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Biography:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Zdenko Mik\u0161a was born in Zagreb in 1995, where he obtained a Master&#8217;s degree in Art Education from the Art Education Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in 2021, under the guidance of Professor Igor \u010cabraja.
