This project takes place in four European partner countries \u2013 Romania, Germany, Croatia, and Austria. The Talk took place in collaboration with the discursive program of the doctoral study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb.<\/p>\n<p>In conversation with <strong>Leila Topi\u0107 from the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, Bik Van der Pol<\/strong> attempted to address the most important themes that have characterized their artistic practice so far, presenting their two artistic works and discussing the process of creating works, experimenting, and dealing with failures.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36847\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_3.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1261px) 100vw, 1261px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_3.jpg 1261w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_3-200x138.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.hdlu.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Screenshot_3-600x413.jpg 600w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1261\" height=\"868\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Through their practice, they strive to articulate and understand how art can create space for speculation and imagination within the public sphere. This includes forms of mediation through which the public not only defines but also creates itself. By establishing conditions for encounter, Bik Van der Pol&#8217;s working process enables the continuous reconfiguration of place, history, and publicness. Their practice is site-specific and collaborative, involving publishing, writing, and curating. They view dialogue as a mode of transmission, where the element of &#8220;passing through&#8221; is crucial, as it is temporal and implies action and the development of new forms of discourse. Their practice is both an initiator and a result of this approach. Bik Van der Pol explore ways in which human activity in the globalized age directly affects (ecological) systems.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-36846\"
