ANDREA KNEZOVIĆ
TRANSMISSION
7.-28.5.
KARAS GALLERY
On Tuesday, 7.5.2024. Andrea Knezović opens her solo exhibition entitled Transmission, at 7 pm in Karas Gallery (Ulica kralja Zvonimira 58).
In her foreword, Katarina Podobnik emphasizes:
With the art installation “Transmission” as a speculative design, Knezović creates a world in which artificial intelligence imposes itself as a pseudo-divine entity, and the place of worship becomes (or remains) both materialised and digital – an AI altar. Alongside the physical presence of characteristic liturgical ornaments, the artistic ambience consists of three central components – three monitors symbolising the united Holy Trinity. Each of the latter shows a video based on generative language models and a text-to-speech system, replicating traditional ritual elements within the framework of the new – “AI religion”.
Biography:
Andrea Knezović is a multimedia artist born in 1992 in Slavonski Brod. In 2014, she completed her undergraduate studies, and in 2017, her graduate studies in multimedia at the Academy of Arts in Osijek under the mentorship of Vladimir Frelih.
So far, she has had six solo exhibitions and participated in dozens of group exhibitions in Croatia and abroad. She is a member of the Croatian Association of Fine Artists – HDLU Istok. She lives and works in Rijeka.
Andrea’s earlier works explore the relationship between mass media society and fetishism and ritual, where the artist, through the portrayal of her own body, plays with traditional representations of female identity. In her recent works, Andrea explores the impact of technology and media on society and individuals using experimental research practices.
The exhibition will be open during the period from 7. to 28.5.2024.

CreArtivci
Exhibition of elementary and high school pupils
April 30-May 2, 2024
Karas Gallery
On Tuesday, April 30, at 6pm exhibition of elementary and high school pupils CreArtivci will be opened at the Karas Gallery (Ulica kralja Zvonimira 58). The exhibition is a result of the Educational programme of the European project Creart 3.0.
The CreArt Educational Programme is part of the European project CreArt 3.0 and aims to improve cooperation between local schools, cultural institutions, non-governmental organizations and independent workers and companies in the cultural and creative sector. The program builds and strengthens intergenerational ties, creates a network for the exchange of education in culture, and encourages the future participation of school children in the cultural life of the city. Over the course of 3 years, the program will include 76 schools in the project’s partner cities, more than 4,500 students and teachers, and 47 artists.
HDLU connected this year’s educational program with the 7th Biennial of Painting, which for the 14th year has been positioned as the only national art manifestation dedicated to presenting the scene and developments in the medium of painting. In the first edition, 6 schools will participate (Ivan Merz Elementary School, Matko Laginja Elementary School, Marije Jurić Zagorka Elementary School, XVth Gymnasium, XVIth Gymnasium, Classical Gymnasium) with more than 120 students and 6 professors and teachers. The program consists of guided tour through the Biennial of Painting with an educational booklet with tasks and workshops that are held in schools under the mentorship of artists from the 7th Biennial of Painting, namely: Natalia Borčić Peuc, Monika Meglić, Valentina Supanz Marinić, Iva Zagoda, Marko Zeman and Marta Živčnjak.
Mia Matijević Akrap designed the educational booklet under the supervision of the Teaching Department of the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb, prof. Sonja Vuk. Duje Medić designed it, and at the beginning of January the booklets were ready for use, after which all guided tours with educational booklets were carried out for elementary and high school pupils.

CreArt is a network of 13 medium-sized European cities with the aim of exchanging experiences and good practices for the promotion of contemporary art, through a permanent transnational mobility program for emerging artists, curators and cultural workers, in order to maximize the economic, social and cultural contribution that creativity can make to local communities (#stringing_together). At the same time, CreArt 3.0 is pushing the boundaries (#pushboundaries) beyond the visual arts, empowering other artistic practices such as performing arts or music, and new collaborations with an NGO based in Lviv have also been initiated to support Ukrainian artists. Participating cities are: Kaunas, Liepaja, Skopje, Aveiro, Valladolid, Lublin, Venice, Clermont-Ferrand, Rouen, České Budějovice, Oulu and Regensburg. The project includes 45 residency programs in 15 European cities, more than 39 public events to celebrate the European Month of Creativity in 13 cities from the network, 13 educational programs to strengthen creativity and knowledge about contemporary art, 18 Street Art festivals, 10 annual festivals in galleries in 9 cities and 6 European conferences and study visits.

Since March 4, 2024, Larisa Crunțeanu (RO) – performer, video artist, and sound collector, has gathered numerous research findings in the city of Zagreb, visiting cultural sites, venues, and public sculptures. She met with several artists and curators, visiting studios and alternative art spaces. She participated in exhibition openings, performances, and events at universities and artistic organizations.
The result of the residency is her new artistic work, tentatively titled ‘Paresthesia Greeting the Unknown,’ which will be exhibited at shows in Vienna, Zagreb, and Bucharest.
She also participated in a weaving workshop by Croatian artist Nikolina Knežević Hrgović. Additionally, on March 12, 2024, at 7:30 PM, she held a lecture and discussion with Nevena Škrbić Alempijević from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, in collaboration with the discursive program of the doctoral study at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb (AFAR Talk), at the Putolovac gallery.
My residency in Zagreb started with a short period of learning about the neighbourhood and research into the plants from the garden, as initially I went down the path of creating an artwork using pigments from the flowers, leaves and rocks from the garden. Soon, I abandoned this path due to the early spring calendar (not so many leaves and flowers bloomed) and the sudden change of temperatures, which meant it was harder to be outside for longer. Instead, I have decided to work with cyano and textiles, in an attempt to capture not the time of the year, but the time of the day, literally, through stillness and movement of my body. Between sessions that depended largely on experiments with textiles and how sunny it was outside, I would visit local exhibition spaces, museums and artists, some of which educated me greatly (a notable mention would be MSU’s exhibition on political performance in the 90s) or have inspired me in the way I understand collaboration and commonality as not just a method but also a result of artistic practices (for which I am very thankful to have been introduced to the Women for Women collective by WHW curator Ana Kovačić). Besides working on cyanos, I have had the pleasure of giving a short introduction to some of my works and the logic and contexts behind them in a live discussion titled Topographies of Love, together with prof. Nevena Škrbić Alempijević. Her questions and reflections were a great add to the conversation and offered me the chance to make some points more visible in the work, which otherwise would easily be missed by a foreign audience that encounters my work for the very first time. Towards the end of the residency I have also had the chance to learn more traditional techniques of working with textile, thanks to the workshop held by Nikolina Knežević Hrgović in her studio, which I think will be very useful in the further development of my journey through textile art.

ZDENKO MIKŠA
HOLD MY BEER/PEOPLE PLEASER
26.-28.4.2024.
KARAS GALLERY
On Friday, 26.4.2024. Zdenko Mikša opens his solo exhibition entitled Hold My Beer/People Pleaser, at 7 pm in Karas Gallery (Ulica kralja Zvonimira 58).
In her foreword, Marta Radman emphasizes:
Thirteen minutes before the application deadline for the exhibition at Karas Gallery, I learned a bit more about Zdenko’s new pop-up performance. At first glance, “Hold my Beer/People Pleaser” seems like a charming and somewhat self-indulgent jest. A used bathtub filled with water, ice and cans of Zden-Cola and Mikšićko beer, and the artist, Zdenko Mikša, 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. (…)
Zdenko 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.
Biography:
Zdenko Mikša was born in Zagreb in 1995, where he obtained a Master’s degree in Art Education from the Art Education Department of the Academy of Fine Arts in 2021, under the guidance of Professor Igor Čabraja. He works as an art teacher/art therapist and a leader of art workshops, muralist and illustrator. He has exhibited in four solo exhibitions and participated in numerous group exhibitions in Croatia and abroad. He has been a member of the Croatian Society of Writers for Children and Youth since 2020, and a member of the Croatian Association of Fine Artists since 2021. He lives and works in Zagreb.
The exhibition will be open during the period from 26. to 28.4.2024.

The upcoming residents within the European project AFAR are artists Liesbeth Bik and Jos Van der Pol (NL). Since 1995, they have been working together as Bik Van der Pol. They live and work in Rotterdam, Netherlands (www.bikvanderpol.net). Through their practice Bik Van der Pol aim to articulate and understand how art can produce a public sphere and space for speculation and imagination. This includes forms of mediation through which publicness is not only defined but also created. Their work follows from research of how to activate situations to create a platform for exchange and experience of different knowledges. Bik Van der Pol’s mode of working consists of setting up the conditions for encounter, where they develop a process of working that allows for continuous reconfigurations of places, histories, and publics. Their practice is site-specific and collaborative, with dialogue as a mode of transfer; a “passing through”, understood in its etymological meaning of “a speech across or between two or more people, out of which may emerge new understandings”. In fact, they consider the element of “passing through” as vital. It is temporal and implies action and the development of new forms of discourse. Their practice is both instigator and result of this method. They have exhibited their work at numerous venues, as well as participated in biennials such as Gwangju, Istanbul, Jakarta, and Sao Paulo Biennale. Recent and current projects include Paad Bienal 2024 Abi Dabhi (UAE), a research residency project at School of Casablanca (2021–23), Casablanca (Marocco), a project in collaboration with Volt, Bergen (Norway), Take Part (2018–20), at SFMOMA and Public Libraries, San Francisco (USA), and Far Too Many Stories To Fit Into So Small A Box, Ujazdowski Castle Centre for Contemporary Art, Warsaw (Poland) (2019-20). Bik Van der Pol were co-initiators of artist-run space Duende existing from 1984-2013, where they organised many activities such as artist in residence programs, talks, screenings and exhibition projects, they were course directors of The School of Missing Studies – a temporary masters programme at Sandberg Institute, Amsterdam (2013–15), and they are advisors at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. Liesbeth is a core-tutor at Piet Zwart Institute (Rotterdam), and a member, and currently chair, of the Akademie van Kunsten/Academy of Arts, that is part of the Dutch Royal Academy of Science (KNAW).
As part of the residency, Bik Van der Pol will familiarize themselves with the local art scene through visits to studios and exhibitions and will create a new artistic work related to the main themes of the project: ecology, sustainability, heritage, and textile arts. This work will be exhibited at the final exhibitions in Zagreb, Vienna, and Bucharest. In addition to the artistic work, they will also give a lecture at the Putolovac Gallery on May 7th at 7:30 PM, followed by a discussion with Leila Topić, the curator of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb (AFAR Talk).
The Artists for Artists Residency Network, a two-year project (2023-2024), aims to improve the mobility of contemporary visual artists and curators, while creating greater opportunities for women in the arts. The project takes place in four European partner countries – Romania, Germany, Croatia and Austria. The project focuses on the development of new international exchanges and transcultural dialogue and provides a number of new opportunities for art practitioners of all ages, in different artistic media, with a special emphasis on women in art and gender equality. The result of the project will be increased awareness of the importance of cultural mobility at local legislative levels, but also in the general public, especially in the current (post)crisis European context, strengthening EU affiliation and connection with contemporary visual art.
The project includes: 12 artist residencies in Zagreb (HR), Mulhouse (FR), Bucharest (RO) and in Săcel, Maramureș (RO), 4 curatorial residencies in Zagreb and Bucharest, 12 conferences in Zagreb, Bucharest and Vienna and 1 traveling international exhibition, which will first be shown to the public in Zagreb (HR), and then in Vienna (AT) and Bucharest (RO).

DE/CONSTRUCTION OF PAINTING CONCEPT:
The project De/construction of Painting encourages and addresses contemporary artistic practices within the context of the visual arts center of Eastern Germany, Leipzig, which has transformed into a global hub for the arts with a focus on the painting scene. The former industrial complex Spinnerei in the Plagwitz district spans 10 hectares and has been almost entirely renovated, now serving as the heart of the local and international art scene with 12 galleries, the non-profit art center Halle 14, and around a hundred resident artists. The residency program De/construction of Painting tries to answer the following questions:
- To what extent is the idea of an image/painting still a cultural construct within various dichotomies (Western-Eastern, industrial-post-industrial)?
- How does the media in which the painting is formed correspond to the concepts of representing different realities?
- What is individual in the image/painting and what is symbolic or universal?
Part of this year’s residency program will take place within the EU project CreART 3.0, a European network of medium-sized cities aimed at exchanging experiences and best practices to promote contemporary art through a continuous transnational mobility program for emerging artists, curators, and cultural workers, in order to maximize the economic, social, and cultural contributions that creativity can bring to local communities. As part of the EU project CreART 3.0, 4 residencies will take place in Leipzig in 2024, each lasting 5 weeks, including 2 Croatian and 2 foreign artists from the network of cities.
OPEN CALL DESCRIPTION:
The Open call is aimed at artists from the CreArt network who address the aforementioned questions and primarily start from redefining the ideas of an image, in the medium of painting, but also in photography and video. The De/construction of Painting residency program closes the circle between artistic and research, opening doors to new considerations of the image. Two artists (one from Croatia and one from the CreArt network) share a workspace and a bathroom in one residency space simultaneously.

DESCRIPTION:
Karas Gallery is an exhibition space of the Croatian Association of Fine Artists (HDLU) with a long tradition of activity in the contemporary art scene. After many years of activity at Praška 4, since 2018, it has been operating at the address Kralja Zvonimira 58. Recognizing the need for redefining and creating 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. Artists will explore the neighborhood for 2 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 KARAS+KVART 2024 project, Luana Lojić has been invited to participate, and an international artist will be selected through an Open call.
Preference will be given to artists who are interested in and express themselves through innovative visual, auditory, multimedia, and research practices, or who contemplate the function and activation of public space, responding to the concept of the artist Luana Lojić, which is envisioned as a series of performative actions in the neighborhood in the format of a con-event, simulating cultural content. In its absence, the concept compensates with temporary and exaggerated performances in the form of film projections, spoken word poetry, parties (VJ/DJ session), podcasts, and dances that convince viewers that they are really happening (e.g., projection on a factory, podcast at the market, contemporary dance around and through the square, party in one of the vacant spaces, etc.). The artist imagines ‘scenes’ or ‘illusions’ unfolding simultaneously while the content’s focus is dispersed, and the theme plays with performance options and hallucinations of unused spaces and public areas. Fictional events would rely on confusion inductions (methods of verbalizing nonsense in a monotonous tone, used in hypnotherapy to put the rational part of the brain to sleep). Themes and formats, as well as additional collaborators and performances/scenes, would be developed in collaboration with the selected artist.
Luana Lojić (1991) deals with applied cosmophilia and internet nomadism. From poetry for stones to live installations, videos, films, voiceovers, and live art addressing the relationship between humans and the systems, perceptions, and materialities surrounding them, her work seeks to understand natural processes beyond and within the concept of senses. She has received numerous awards for her work.
WHO CAN APPLY
- Artists born or residing in one of the cities in the project network: Kaunas (Lithuania), Liepaja (Lithuania), Skopje (North Macedonia), Aveiro (Portugal), Valladolid (Spain), Lublin (Poland), Venice (Italy), Clermont-Ferrand and Rouen (France), České Budějovice (Czech Republic), Oulu (Finland), Regensburg (Germany)
- Ukrainian artists through our collaboration with the Lviv Artistic Council “Dialog”
GRANT CONDITIONS:
The Organizer (HDLU) will provide:
- Three-week accommodation for artists in residence (October 2024)
- Round-trip ticket expenses to and from Zagreb up to a maximum of 400 EUR
- Artistic fee in the amount of 1,200 EUR/gross
- Daily allowance of 30 EUR/day

- Report: Upon return from the residency, artists are required to submit a brief narrative report containing evidence of newly created works (in English), and boarding passes if traveling by plane.
