This years\u2019 Karas+kvart residency program<\/strong> brings intertwined works by Croatian transmedial artist based in Barcelona, Petar Vranjkovi\u0107<\/strong> and Ukrainian sound artist and musician based in Berlin, Danyil Merkulov<\/strong> together.
\nThe residency began intensely with prior meetings, brainstorms and open discussions which looked at the topics of\u00a0<\/strong>spaces, its functions and liveability.<\/strong> <\/span>Once in Zagreb, artists quickly started to notice the complex relations of private and public spaces, physical and digital extensions, the city\u2019s beauty and collective<\/strong> neglect of in-between spaces.<\/strong> In this context, Karas Gallery courtyard was chosen as it illustrates Zagreb\u2019s modernist architecture, which pays special attention to shared and public space<\/strong>, as well as urban planning, but nowadays, the same are often out of its original function<\/strong>, sometimes abandoned, other times just forgotten. This type of \u201copposition\u201d, or better said, two-sides of the same, is the driving force in the processual sound piece.
\n\u201cTemporarily abandoned spaces\u201d<\/strong> is an exploration of dualities that shouldn\u2019t be seen as contrary<\/strong>, nor exclusive, but rather co-existing<\/strong> and leaving enough room for a re-write. Therefore, the central artwork is a soundscape that records and brings the slow and abandoned reality of the courtyard to the gallery, serving as an intangible reminder of the spaces we wish not to confront. The soundscape, though, isn\u2019t a fixed \u201cplace\u201d nor a static gesture, but rather it opens itself towards further meanings, including the ones which will be gathered through the public program, further exploration and reflection of the living and vivid spaces of its close neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

\nAbout the artists<\/strong><\/p>\n

Danyil Merkulov<\/strong>
\nAs an Ukrainian artist based in Berlin, I create music that crosses borders between electronic sound, visual art, and live performance. My goal is to connect Berlin with other European creative hubs through collaboration, touring, and residencies. I believe in building sustainable networks that allow artists to share ideas, strengthen communities, and grow together.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Petar Vranjkovi\u0107<\/strong>
\nPetar Vranjkovic\u0301 (b. 1997) is a transmedial artist and researcher who uses objects from archives, photography, video, printmaking, and design in his research\u2013 and artistic\u2013based processes. 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
