Zagreb/London Annual Exchange Project 2013

The Zagreb/London Exchange Project is an annual student exchange project that involves linking students from the Animation and New Media Department at the Zagreb Academy of Art in Croatia, with the 2nd year Fine Art BA students based at London Metropolitan University.

The project is of a precarious nature and, wherever possible, begins with a series of meetings, readings and workshops which aim to set out some of the objectives of the project. Implicit in the structure is the idea of ‘exchange’.

There are two key stages of the project – students from Zagreb going to London, and students from London going to Zagreb. During their time in each of these cities the students from each university take part in a group seminars and presentations as well as organised visits to exhibitions, museums, and lectures. Students are also able and encouraged to use the Fine Art Studios and workshops at the host institution, as well as to attend lectures and seminars that take place within the course of the normal workings of the host institution.

Perhaps most importantly, the participating students are asked to make new work during their time away from home. The project also includes students giving guided tours/walks (both of their home town, and the town they visit) for their visiting peers. Directed group work may result in collaborative works where two or more students work on projects together, but this is not a requirement.

One of the key intentions of the project is that students should develop an understanding of how the immediate environment, as well as cultural history and socio-political realities influence ones working practice as an artist.

 

Project supervisors and coordinators: Ben Cain (LMU) and Nicole Hewitt (ALU)

 The ongoing relationship with the Zagreb Academy of Fine Art is now being further developed through the establishment of an Erasmus exchange agreement.

GALERIJA MIROSLAV KRALJEVIĆ

Otvorenje/Opening  9.5.2013., 19h

 

Exploring a space, we have created photographs focusing on light, reflections and the space as a theatrical scene. Found objects at the space – mirrors, have been moved and installed in the gallery to represents the history of the space, our encounter with the space and its new reflection of time inside the gallery. A video is projected onto the mirrors proposing a stage of the space for the viewer. through translation we create miscommunication – through miscommunication we create mistakes – through mistakes we create Free overlapping natural video maps Kraljevič nerves tree became mind extention body skin interaction object water water sound water way dialogue water water water conection Zagreb The witness of the space is the exposed, the void is witnessed with the exposed.

When I came to Zagreb Bojan took me to a number of sites assosiated with recent gentrification in the east of the city, and when we came to the gallery, we just decided to do site/time specific visual mapping of the space. communication without communication The entities that possibly reference a translation of the notion of communication.
