We cordially invite you to join us for a series of events<\/strong> realized during the international artistic residential program \u201eKARAS+KVART\u201d<\/strong> in which Luana Loji\u0107 (HR) and Karl Iaro<\/strong> (DE) participated, as a part of the EU project CreArt 3.0<\/strong> in which HDLU is one of the partners.<\/p>\n

This year’s artists in residence recognized as particularly interesting the nearby 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 Transparency Agency, in the manner of con event, which in a playful and dashing way explores the innovative and artistic use of space.<\/p>\n

Karl Iaro and Luana Lojic, therefore, solemnly invite to the public opening of Transparency Agency<\/strong> on the second floor of the southern wing of the Kvatri\u0107 market building. Transparency agency will, from 19th<\/sup> to 24th<\/sup> of October, deal with promotion and popularization of empty spaces<\/strong> within the Kvatri\u0107 building, consultations for use and interdisciplinary activities in the area<\/strong> of Kvatri\u0107 and personal advice in the field of public simulacrum<\/strong>. On Saturday, 19th from 8PM to midnight, agency employees will continue to use the office for leisure, dance and entertainment after working hours. On that occasion, the music sector, cultural workers – 0.111mg, Babilonska, SZCH i princeza gusaka – <\/span>will remain in the office until late at night playing their favorite songs.<\/p>\n

During three weeks of intensive residence, two artists strived to explore and get to know the market and the building, its inhabitants, customers, their mutual needs, as well as they sought to point out (artistic) potentials hidden in two locations. In this context, Karas Gallery is the starting point that dissolves and spreads north as a space for recording reflections, found and newly created, and as one of digital but tangible extensions of intertwined spaces, ideas and plays.<\/p>\n

Join us for the series of events through which you will be able to meet the artists themselves, their Agency, co-existence of public and private space of the building, market and its surrounding, as well as the segments from the past and the speculated future.<\/p>\n

PROGRAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

Saturday, 19th October
\n<\/strong>17-22: join the Gallery Rally at the Karas Gallery, where you will get a glance at the research segments of two artists
\n20-24h: we’re preparing DJ session on the second floor of the building (Marti\u0107eva 67) with the program of four guest DJs ( 0.111mg \/\/ Babilonska \/\/ SZCH \/\/ princeza gusaka)<\/p>\n

Monday 21st October
\n<\/strong>16-20h: join the artists at the delicately decorated Agency (Paula Ton\u010di\u0107) and learn more about it (second floor of the building on Marti\u0107eva 67)
\nat 18h: join the building tour and lecture about it\u2019s air flow led by architect Mirna Udov\u010di\u0107
\n[The lecture starts with information on the development of the building, continues with a tour of characteristic spaces and placing the extraordinary existing situation in the climate context. The building is a model example of junkspace: chaotic and fragmented spaces of modern buildings that lose their architectural structure and identity. The forces of designing such spaces are air conditioning, commercialization and continuous expansion. In this case, however, forces stumble and leave the remains of these spaces as a resource. Culture is a new force that enlightens such spaces and dares to see their bright future.]<\/p>\n

Tuesday, 22nd October
\n<\/strong>16-20h: join the artists at the delicately decorated Agency and learn more about it (second floor of the building on Marti\u0107eva 67)
\nat 18h: Karl’s Jello caustics workshop at the Agency
\n[Join us and explore the hidden connection between the light and a fluffy gelatin. We’ll be bending light with something so soft, almost like a slug. Workshop is planned for up to 5 people gifted with patience, so please confirm you participation via social media or karas.hdlu@gmail.com]<\/p>\n

Wednesday, 23rd October
\n<\/strong>16-20h: join the artists at the delicately decorated Agency and learn more about it (second floor of the building on Marti\u0107eva 67)<\/p>\n

Thursday, 24rd October (CANCELED DUE TO ILLNESS OF ARTIST!)<\/strong>
\nat 18h: join Luana’s experimental storytelling beginning in Karas Gallery (Zvonimirova 58)
\n[The experimental storytelling about Kvatri\u0107 will be realized through the format of the \u201clist of mere mortals\u201d. The list of mere mortals is a performative research and experimental multimedia tradition which takes as a starting point the hyperfocus, leisure, recording, gathering and intimate interpretations related to the natural and poetic properties of knowledge, in this case Luana’s favorite appearances on Kvatri\u0107 and their aura. The artist will practice her associative storytelling from one person to more people. She\u2019ll think about the preference to discarded things and the idea of pleasing palpitations, gaming, entertainment, sensations and disappointments.]<\/p>\n

About artists<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karl Iaro
\n<\/strong>Karl 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

Luana Loji\u0107
\n<\/strong>Luana 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
