talks was conceived as an informal
art- education project, in
collaboration with Academy of Fine

Among others, one was tackling the
issues of art in public space and
urban aesthetics in Europe.
The core activities (in the period
2009-2011) within Slobodne
veze/Loose Associations program
have been pointed towards the
Eastern European collaborations.
Interest in self- contextualization of
the non western art scenes
(including our own) and
establishing direct dialogue among
them.

SAVE MOTEL TROGIR - THE
EXQUISITE EXAMPLE OF
MODERN ARCHITECTURE!
CALL FOR A PUBLIC
DISCUSSION IN THE CITY OF
TROGIR!
(followed by the film by Tamara
Bjažić Klarin & Ana Marija Ganza
Habjan)
+ Public Campaign
Modernist built spaces are
framing structures of substantial
part of our collective memory,
while their destruction means
vanishing of these structures
and disappearance of spatial
knowledge with different
epistemological background.
Therefore, the question of their
adequate evaluation and
protection is primarily a political
affair.
