DESCRIPTION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Karas Gallery<\/strong><\/a> is an exhibition space of the Croatian Association of Fine Artists<\/strong> (HDLU) with a long tradition in the contemporary art scene. After many years of activity at Pra\u0161ka 4, since 2018, it now operates at the address Kralja Zvonimira 58. Recognizing the need to redefine and create a new cultural identity for the neighborhood where Karas Gallery is located, within the EU project CreART 3.0, a collaborative artistic program titled KARAS + KVART is organized, envisioned in a collaborative and co-creation model between one local artist and one artist from the network<\/strong>. Artists will explore the neighborhood for 3 weeks, and the final result will be an artistic work or initiative in the public space of the gallery neighborhood in October. As part of the KARAS+KVART 2025 project, Petar Vranjkovi\u0107 has been invited to participate, and an international artist will be selected through an open call.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Preference will be given to artists who are interested in and expressing themselves through innovative visual, video and\/or sound practices<\/strong>, as well as those who are interested in re-activating the Gallery<\/strong> and surrounding neighborhood through working with the local community. Artist Petar Vranjkovi\u0107 envisioned a project based on two connecting concepts: one for American urban sociologist Ray Oldenburg’s gallery as a third space, and one for art historian Ida Biard’s Gallery of Neighbors (La Galerie Des Locataires). More precisely, these concepts have informal interaction and transfer of knowledge at their core<\/strong>, and by applying these ideas, the project aims to further democratize the gallery to the microstructure of its immediate neighborhood and broader citizen community. By doing so, the gallery aims to become a place for temporary residence, an extension to people’s living rooms<\/strong> in which the community and artists discuss and work together to explore, via different research methods (including interviews and workshops, shared meals and art), social meanings, as well as the roles the gallery has or can have to express and answer to the needs of the local public.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Petar Vranjkovi\u0107<\/strong> (b. 1997) is an transmedial artist and researcher who uses objects from archives, photography, video, printmaking, and design in his research\u2013 and artistic\u2013based processes. He holds an MFA in Animation and New Media from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb.<\/p>\n

He is interested in shaping memories and the idea of storytelling through artistic narratives. One of the central themes of his work is the intimate history of the individual, which is an interpretation of the heritage, tradition, and culture of a community and time.<\/p>\n

Vranjkovi\u0107\u2019s recent solo exhibitions took place at Kamba, Zagreb (2024); Collection of Vjenceslav Richter and Nada Kare\u0161 Richter, Zagreb (2023); Miroslav Kraljevi\u0107 Gallery, Zagreb (2022). His work was\u00a0 included in the 42nd Split Salon and 36th Zagreb Youth Salon.<\/p>\n
