INTRODUCTION

UVOD

The supporting exhibition program of the 9th Student

International Film Festival establishes a framework

for play to examine our everyday lives. all GAME no

PLAY recreates the world around us, appropriating

familiar patterns and flexing them, bringing everyday

habits to absurdity. Meeting at the intersection of contemporary

art, play, and social interaction, presented

artworks activate the visitor to confirm experiencing

art as a physical act, which is also enhanced through

three workshops for the public that will take place

during the festival.

Extended Play brings artists into a conversation with

Katarina Erak, who will question the power dynamic

at play in the artist-audience relationship and ways

in which the microclimate of the gallery space reproduces

or defies hierarchies and rules of our social and

intimate relationships.

Some Songs, performed by Maria Chiara Ziosi, show

verses collected in a crowd. Collective enthusiasm of

the karaoke medium re-mixes the melancholic atmosphere.

The artist will perform, and she will leave the

stage for the audience to sing.

Arcade, the workshop program, will accent the experience

of the exhibition, exploring body and technology

interactions with the pieces. It will encourage

participants to play with understanding and (re)

producing contemporary art concepts and explore

documenting impressions as a strategy for digitalizing

the exhibition.

Workshop mentors: Josipa Baljak, Kristina Paunovski,

Petra Čargonja, Natalija Stefanović

Popratni izložbeni program 9. Međunarodnog

Studentskog Filmskog Festivala STIFF uspostavlja

prostor za igru kako bismo preispitali svoju

svakodnevnicu. all GAME no PLAY rekreira naše

svjetove prisvajajući i mijenjajući poznate obrasce,

dovodeći svakodnevne navike do apsurda. Susrećući

se na raskrižju suvremene umjetnosti, igre i društvene

interakcije, predstavljena umjetnička djela aktiviraju

posjetitelja kako bi potvrdila fizičko iskustvo doživljaja

umjetnosti, što je aspekt koji se dodatno istražuje

kroz tri radionice za javnost koje će se održati tijekom

festivala.

Extended Play poziva umjetnice na razgovor s

Katarinom Erak koja će propitati odnose moći

unutar galerijskog prostora i načine na koje njegova

mikroklima reproducira ili prkosi hijerarhijama i

pravilima naših društvenih i intimnih odnosa.

Some Songs u izvedbi Marije Chiare Ziosi, donosi

stihove skupljene u gomili. Kolektivni entuzijazam

karaoke medija zamiksat će melankoličnu atmosferu.

Umjetnica će nastupiti, a s pozornice će izaći kako bi

publika zapjevala.

Radionički program Igraonica naglasit će subjektivno

iskustvo izložbe, istražujući interakcije naših tijela i

tehnologije s radovima. Potaknut će sudionike da se

igraju s razumijevanjem i (re)produkcijom koncepata

radova te istražuju dokumentiranje dojmova kao

metodu digitalizacije izložbi.

The exhibition program all GAME no PLAY recreates

the world around us, appropriating familiar patterns

and flexing them, bringing everyday habits to

absurdity. We interact with artworks in a constructed

space where desires, needs and circumstances take a

vague form, leaving us with unclear goals to strive for.

While losing the aspiration for the future, we find

ourselves in someone else’s body, speaking someone

else’s words, entering someone else’s houses and

beds. Gathered artists throw around the constructs of

the past to disrupt the authorities of the present, offer

advice from children, and provoke the overturning

of the dynamics of our interpersonal relationships in

order to find equality.

The exhibition establishes a framework for play

to examine our everyday lives. Meeting at the

intersection of contemporary art, play, and social

interaction, presented artworks activate the visitor

to confirm experiencing art as a physical act. Gathered

international artists take a different view on what

it means to be human in an artificial environment

and show us how we can build communities that

collaborate rather than compete while playing the

game of (co)existence.

Izložbeni program all GAME no PLAY razigrava svijet

oko nas, prisvajajući poznate obrasce i izvrćući ih,

dovodeći svakodnevne navike do apsurda. Ulazimo u

interakciju s umjetničkim radovima u konstruiranom

prostoru gdje želje, potrebe i stanja poprimaju nejasan

oblik, ne ukazujući jasan cilj kojem možemo težiti.

Gubeći aspiracije za budućnost; nalazimo se u tuđem

tijelu, izgovaramo tuđe riječi, ulazimo u tuđe kuće

i krevete. Okupljene autorice i autori dobacuju se

kontruktima prošlosti kako bi omeli autoritete

sadašnjosti, nudeći nam dječje savjete i pozivajući

nas na prevrtanje dinamike međuljudskih odnosa

kako bismo našli ravnopravnost.

Izložba postavlja uvjete za igru kako bi ispitali

svakodnevnicu. Susrećući se na sjecištu suvremene

umjetnosti, igre i društvene interakcije, predstavljena

umjetnička djela aktiviraju publiku kako bi nam

potvrdila tjelesni doživljaj izložbe. Okupljene

međunarodne umjetnice i umjetnici predstavljaju

raznolike poglede na to što znači biti čovjek u

umjetnom okruženju i predlažu nam kako graditi

zajednice surađujući, a ne natječući se, dok igramo

igru ​(su)postojanja.

Suspensions

2022

video installation /

video instalacija

’Suspensions’ takes as a starting point a video still from

Mark Zuckerberg’s presentation of the Metaverse. The

virtual scenery and power pose of the speaker are

being intruded by several elements. On the one hand,

by references to different constructed representations

of ‘future’ throughout time. Also, by allusions to the

consequences these worlds to come try to keep out

of sight. Lastly, by our attempts to sustain ourselves

amidst such turmoil.

While the alignment of the monitors in space

purposely emphasizes the linearity these future

visions are sustained upon, we realize the scenery is

in an infinite loop, going ‘nowhere’.

‘Suspensions’ uzima kao polazište video kadar

s prezentacije Marka Zuckerberga o Metaversu.

Nekoliko elemenata prodire u virtualnu scenografiju

i stajališta govornika. S jedne strane, reference kroz

vrijeme na različite konstruirane reprezentacije

‘budućnosti’. Također, aluzije na posljedice koje se

pokušavaju skloniti od pogleda. Konačno, našim

pokušajima da se održimo usred takvog nemira.

Dok položaj monitora u prostoru namjerno naglašava

linearnost na kojoj se ove vizije budućnosti oslanjaju,

shvaćamo da je krajolik u beskonačnoj petlji, tj. ne

ide ‘nikamo’.

Clara Pallí Monguilod (Spain, 1978) is a visual artist

recently graduated from the Master Artistic Research

program at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague

(2022).

Her video practice explores the role of art to regain

a sense of agency and mystery. It is grounded on the

questioning of inherited constructs, such as tradition,

social structures, religious beliefs and the notion

of ‘progress’. It understands reality as being ‘in the

making’, being generative of different meanings, open,

shapeable, intriguing and uncertain.

Next to a career as visual artist, since 2004 Pallí

Monguilod has been devoted to the co-organising

and co-programming of an art space in The Hague,

1646.

Clara Pallí Monguilod (Španjolska, 1978.) vizualna

je umjetnica koja je nedavno diplomirala na Master

Artistic Research programu, na Royal Academy of Art

u Haagu (2022).

Njezina umjetnička praksa istražuje ulogu umjetnosti

u vraćanju osjećaja kontrole i misterija. Temelji se na

propitivanju naslijeđa, kao što su tradicija, društvene

strukture, religijska uvjerenja i pojam “napretka”.

Razumije stvarnost kao ono što je ‘u nastajanju’,

podložnu različitim značenjima, oblikovanju;

otvorenu, intrigantnu i neizvjesnu.

Osim što djeluje kao umjetnica, od 2004 godine

Pallí Monguilod je suorganizatorica i direktorica

umjetničkog prostora u Haagu, 1646.

Apartmanisation inside and out: sketch for a game

2022

interactive installation, video, audio /

interaktivna instalacija, video, audio

The phenomenon of apartmanisation I problematize

on the example of space transformation in my home

town, on examples of both outside space (growing

construction of new houses, mainly for touristic

purposes and changing of the town’s landscape) and

inside space (transformation of the intimate space of

my home into an apartment for seasonal rent).

The work consists of elements of the research process,

and at the same time can be understood as a sketch

for further work on the topic.

Fenomen apartmanizacije problematiziram na

primjeru transformacije prostora u mojemu rodnom

gradu, na primjerima vanjskog prostora (sve veća

gradnja novih kuća, uglavnom u turističke svrhe i

mijenjanje krajolika grada), te unutarnjeg prostora

(transformacija intimnog prostora mojega doma u

stan za sezonski najam).

Rad se sastoji od elemenata istraživačkog procesa,

a ujedno se može shvatiti i kao skica za daljnje

istraživanje ove teme.



Lucija Ostrogović

@lucija_ostrogovic

With a background in anthropology and currently

studying New Media (Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb),

in her practice, Lucija Ostrogović combines both art

and anthropology in order to try to en/untangle

complex webs of meaning and knowledge(s) of

everyday life. Her research integrates drawing,

animation and theory. She is interested in topics

such as identity, belonging, home-building and

touristification.

Umjetnica uz završen studij antropologije i trenutni

studij novih medija (Akademija likovnih umjetnosti u

Zagrebu), u svojoj praksi kombinira umjetničku praksu

i antropologiju kako bi pokušala razmrsiti/zamrsiti

složene mreže značenja i znanja svakodnevnog života.

Njezina istraživanja integriraju crtanje, animaciju i

teoriju. Zanimaju je teme kao što su identitet,

pripadnost, izgradnja doma i turizam.



Helena Roig Prats

A two way

2021

video installation and a book /

video instalacija i knjiga

As a child, I spent my afternoons playing at my family’s

factory, where we made blinds. The walls were covered

by calendars of naked women, some commissioned

by my own grandfather.

One morning, when the thirty men started their shift,

the women were not naked anymore. I had drawn

underwear for all of them with a permanent marker.

As a child I thought it unfair, those women were left

there, standing naked. They were being watched over

and over until the point that the paper even started

fading. These early interactions with objectification,

the photo, and the body. I began to develop a project

relating photography to sex work.

I asked my friend Moon Baby if she wanted to

collaborate. She was very enthusiastic about it. She

only had a requirement: helping her create content

for her OnlyFans account. I accepted.

Kao dijete provodila sam dane igrajući se u obiteljskoj

tvornici, gdje smo izrađivali rolete. Zidovi su bili

prekriveni kalendara golih žena. Neke od tih kalendare

naručio je moj djed.

Jednog jutra, kada je tridesetak muškaraca krenulo u

smjenu, žene više nisu bile gole. Trajnim flomasterom

nacrtala sam im donje rublje. Kao dijete mislila sam

da nije pošteno, da su žene ostavljene tamo potpuno

gole. Promatrali su ih stalno iznova sve do točke kada

je papir počeo blijedjeti. Zbog te rane interakcije s

objektivizacijom, fotografijom i tijelom, počela sam

razvijati projekt koji povezuje fotografiju sa seksualnim

radom.

Pitala sam svoju prijateljicu Moon Baby želi li

surađivati. Bila je vrlo oduševljena time. Imala je

samo jedan zahtjev: da joj pomognem sa stvaranjem

sadržaja za njezin OnlyFans račun. Prihvatila sam.



Helena Roig Prats

I started my photographic journey 10 years ago as

a documentary photographer. Someone gave me

a camera and I started documenting my life while

I was squatting houses in London back in 2010.

I’ve been always portraying what’s on the margins.

Nowadays, my practice is evolving and focuses on

an interdisciplinary methodology across mediums,

currently concentrating on digital imagery, video,

online archives, and traditional lens-based practices.

I use myself and the people around me to tell stories

or activate conversations around controversial

topics: cyber intimacy, cyber sex work, feminism,

sexualization, male/female/non-gendered/queer

gaze, body language, etc. My practice is informed

by a response to the perverse relationship between

the photographic medium, power, and the challenges

of consent that comes with it.

In my projects, I use subtle humor, collaborative

practices and creating situations, and letting things

happen, staying in the role of director. Making myself

vulnerable and exposing myself, in the same way, I

do with my subjects.

I want to raise awareness and have an impact outside

the art world. I want my work to have an impact on

and for the people I collaborate with.

www.helenaroig.online

Fotografski put započela sam prije 10 godina kao

dokumentarna fotografkinja. Netko mi je dao

kameru i počela sam dokumentirati svoj život dok

sam skvotirala kuće u Londonu još 2010. Uvijek sam

portretirala ono što je na margini. Danas se moja

praksa razvija i usredotočuje na interdisciplinarnu

radnu metodologiju kroz razne medije; digitalne slike,

video, online arhive i tradicionalne prakse snimanja.

Koristim sebe i ljude oko sebe da ispričam priče ili

započnem razgovore o kontroverznim temama:

cyber intimnost, cyber seksualni rad, feminizam,

seksualizacija, pogled na muški/ženski/nerodni/

queer identitet i govor tijela, itd. Moja praksa temelji

se na izazovu koji proizlazi iz perverznog odnosa

fotografskog medija, moći i pristanka.

U svojim projektima koristim suptilni humor,

suradničke prakse i kreiranje situacija te puštam

stvari da se dogode, ostajući u ulozi redateljice. Činim

sebe ranjivom i izlažem se na isti način kao i subjekte

istraživanja.

Želim podići svijest i utjecati na svijet izvan umjetnosti.

Želim da moj rad ima utjecaj na ljude s kojima

surađujem.

Ruke pune straha

Aj sidni

2021

textile sculpture / skulptura

Ruke pune straha (Hands Full of Fear) and Aj Sidni

(Come on, sit down) are sculptural textile forms with

which the author examines the idea of alchemising

fear suppressed in the human body through shapes,

colours and repetition. By exploring herself through

the meditational process of creation, the author

searches for the roots of her own fears, feeling in her

body the sensations thereof. She thereby transfers the

fear out of her body to newly created textile bodies

- accumulated forms of stuffed textile sculptures

literally filled with fear.

Ruke pune straha i Aj sidni su tekstilne skulpturalne

forme kojima autorica istražuje ideju alkemiziranja

straha potisnutog u ljudskom tijelu kroz oblike, boje

i repeticiju. Istražujući sebe kroz meditacijski proces

stvaranja, autorica traga za korijenima svojih strahova

osjećajući njihove senzacije u svom tijelu. Na taj način

strah iz svog tijela prenosi u novostvorena tekstilna

tijela, nagomilane forme punjenih tekstilnih skulptura,

doslovno napunjenih strahom.

Sidney Mullis

Foundation

2014

book of poems /

knjiga pjesama

The words in this book of poetry were appropriated

from Youtube videos of young girls providing makeup

tutorials.

12 Youtube videos were selected and carefully

transcribed to include every “um” and “uh.” Videos

were chosen based on their titles and had to indicate

a grade or age that the look was intended for, such as

“natural 4th grade makeup.” The girls providing these

tutorials ranged from age five to age twelve and their

videos were uploaded between 2012 to 2014.

The process of transcription was done manually.

I listened to the videos again and again—playing,

pausing, typing, rewinding, playing—in order to get

an accurate transcription. It was tedious, intimate,

heartbreaking, and familiar because I was also one

of those girls who made makeup tutorials, but for

the silence of my bedroom, not anonymous Youtube

viewers.

After transcription, the language was divided

according to makeup product and restructured into

poems. Foundation, Eye Shadow, Blush, Mascara, Lip

Gloss. In addition to tutorial instructions, there are

many mentions for the desire to be natural—to be

confident. There are multiple reminders about how

a little makeup goes a long way and to be sure not

to do too much because they’re just kids.

Riječi u ovoj knjizi poezije preuzete su od djevojčica

koje daju upute za šminkanje na platformi Youtube.

Ukupno 12 Youtube videa je odabrano i pažljivo

transkribirano, uključujući svaki “uhm” i “uh.”

Videozapisi su izabrani na temelju naslova, tako da

naznačuju razred ili dob za koje je izgled namijenjen,

poput “prirodne šminke za 4. razred”. Djevojčice koje

su davale poduke bile su u dobi od pet do dvanaest

godina, a video zapisi su preneseni između 2012. i

2014. godine.

Proces transkripcije rađen je ručno. Preslušavala sam

videozapise stalno iznova—reprodukcija, pauziranje,

tipkanje, premotavanje unatrag, reprodukcija—kako

bih izvukla točan prijepis. Proces je bio zamoran,

intiman, srceparajuć i poznat jer sam i ja bila jedna

od tih djevojčica koje su snimale tutoriale za

šminkanje, ali za tišinu moje spavaće sobe, a ne za

anonimne Youtube gledatelje.

Nakon transkripcije, materijal je podijeljen prema

proizvodu šminke i presložen u pjesme. Puder, sjenilo,

rumenilo, maskara, sjajilo za usne. Osim uputa za

šminkanje, često se spominjala želja za prirodnošću

- samouvjerenosti. Postoje brojni podsjetnici o tome

kako se i s malo šminke može puno, jer ipak su one

još uvijek djeca.

Kexin Hao

Future Dance of Nostalgia

2022

interactive video game

Through the research on work songs in which singing/

chanting helps choreograph the repetitive manual

labour, the artist tries to trace out how our moving

bodies used to cooperate in the extinct activities

of production. From here she questions: how do

we preserve the body movements and restore our

moving bodies as the living archives? Can we restore

it on this body of you and me, now and here?

Future Dance of Nostalgia is a dancing game which

invites the audience to perform the choreography

that extracts and abstracts the movements found

in the pre-industrial, heavy physical labour, and

work songs. Motion tracking technology allows the

body movements to be quantified, measured, and

evaluated. Historical archives of work songs provide

the inspiration for the music that renders the old tales

and melodies into clubbing beats that lead the dance.

Through ethnographic research into work songs and

the moving body, the project draws much needed

attention to alternative historical archives of our

times. The gaming technology, visual, and music,

bring people closer to the past through a tangible

and modern experience.

Istraživanjem pjesama koje potiču koreografiju

repetitivnog fizičkog rada umjetnica nastoji otkriti

kako su tijela u pokretu sudjelovala u aktivnostima

proizvodnje. Postavlja pitanje: kako očuvati pokrete

tijela i razumjeti tijelo kao živi arhiv? Možemo li

uspostaviti takav odnos prema tijelu, tvom i mom,

sada i ovdje?

Future Dance of Nostalgia je plesna igra koja poziva

publiku na izvedbu koreografije, nastale apstrahiranjem

pokreta nađenih u predindustrijskom, teškom fizičkom

radu i radničkim pjesmama. Tehnologija praćenja

pokreta omogućuje kvantificiranje, mjerenje i procjenu

pokreta tijela. Povijesni arhivi radničkih pjesama

inspiriraju glazbu koja stare priče i melodije pretvara

u klupske taktove i poziva na ples.

Etnografskim istraživanjem radničkih pjesama i tijela

u pokretu, rad skreće pozornost na alternativne

povijesne arhive našeg vremena. Gaming tehnologija,

vizual i glazba, približavaju ljudima prošlost opipljivim

i modernim iskustvom.



Kexin Hao

www.howkexin.com

Kexin Hao is a visual artist and designer born in

Beijing and based in The Netherlands. Her practice

is a marriage of graphic design and performance art.

Having initiated and been involved in various creative

projects across China and Europe, Kexin challenges

not only geometrical borders but also disciplines

of design, film, performance, and music, as well as

physical boundaries between art and non-art space.

Using a daring visual language, the work is a constant

swing between intimate close-up on personal stories

and zoom-out to collective narratives; between a

past of political heaviness and a flashy modernity

rendered in humour and sarcasm. In her recent works,

Kexin investigates the themes of body, rituals, health,

archive, and collective memory.

She has exhibited her works at Rewire festival, TEC

ART, GOGBOT Festival, MAMA, Worm, W139, PIP,

CinemAsia, Luxelakes·A4 Art Museum(CN), L.E.V

Festival Matadero(ES) and participated in various

programs in educational institutes such as Sandberg

Institute, Artez, and Städelschule Architecture

Class(DE).

Kexin Hao vizualna je umjetnica i dizajnerica rođena

u Pekingu, a živi u Nizozemskoj. Njezina praksa spoj je

grafičkog dizajna i izvedbene umjetnosti. Pokrenula je

ili je bila uključena u razne kreativne projekte diljem

Kine i Europe. Kexin pomiče ne samo geometrijske

granice već i discipline dizajna, filma, performansa

i glazbe, kao i fizičke granice između umjetničkog

i neumjetničkog prostora. Koristeći se odvažnim

vizualnim jezikom, rad je stalna promjena između

intimnog krupnog plana osobnih priča i smanjivanja

kolektivnih narativa; između prošlosti pune političke

težine i blještave modernosti prikazane u humoru i

sarkazmu. U svojim novim radovima Kexin istražuje

teme tijela, rituala, zdravlja, arhiva i kolektivnog

pamćenja.

Some songs

interaktivna instalacija (karaoke), autorska glazba, tekst

performans / performance

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about conversations.

I like to steal common words that I hear. I write them

down.

Sometimes I think that common words are always too

many or too simple if put into small talk.

At the same time, I realize that these common words are

often my favorite way of

dealing with art every day.

Maria Chiara Ziosi

Artist Maria Chiara Ziosi collected sentences from

crowded places: buses, public laundries and chat

rooms and organised them into songs.

These mundane verses are presented on karaoke

and accompanied by music composed by the artist.

The karaoke device creates a short circuit between

need and negation, recalling the typical collective

enthusiasm of the medium itself, presented in a sort of

melancholic environment. This body of work centres

the question: in the name of what do we speak – act?

The search for a missing name through collective

singing becomes the only way to pose the need for

speaking – acting.

Maria Chiara Ziosi will perform in a club-style setting,

and she will leave the stage for the audience to sing.

U posljednje vrijeme puno razmišljam o razgovorima.

Volim ukrasti uobičajene riječi koje čujem. Zapisujem ih.

Ponekad pomislim da su uobičajene riječi uvijek previše

ili prejednostavne ako se stave u mali razgovor.

U isto vrijeme, shvaćam da su te uobičajene riječi često

moj omiljeni način umjetničkog izražavanja.

Maria Chiara Ziosi

Umjetnica Maria Chiara Ziosi prikupila je rečenice s

javnih mjesta: autobusa, javnih praonica i pričaonica

i organizirala ih u pjesme. Ovi svjetovni stihovi

predstavljeni su na karaokama i praćeni glazbom koju

je skladala umjetnica. Karaoke uređaj stvara kratki spoj

između potrebe i negacije, prisjećajući se tipičnog

kolektivnog entuzijazma samog medija,

predstavljenog u nekoj vrsti melankoličnog

okruženja. Ovo djelo u središte stavlja pitanje: u ime

čega govorimo – djelujemo? Potraga za nestalim

imenom kroz kolektivno pjevanje postaje jedini način

ostvarivanja potrebe za govorom – djelovanjem.

Maria Chiara Ziosi nastupit će u klupskom stilu,

a s pozornice će sići među publiku kako bi skupa

zapjevali.

26.-27.11. ARCADE / IGRAONICA (RADIONICE)

Extended play / Doigravanje

The workshop program Arcade invites you to question

your own perception of the artwork. The participants

will look at the works in physical and virtual space,

play with the relationship between the text (concept)

and the work itself, and place their own perception,

experience and knowledge as a starting point for

understanding the artistic work in the given context.

In each workshop, participants will learn a specific skill

from the field of performing, visual arts and literature:

dance improvisation, recording and digital processing,

and blackout poetry technique. Playing with different

ways of seeing/experiencing/understanding a work

of art encourages expression and emphasizes the

authentic experience of the observer.

Radionički program Igraonica /Arcade poziva na

propitivanje vlastite percepcije umjetničkih radova.

Sudionici će sagledati radove u fizičkom i virtualnom

prostoru, poigrati se sa odnosom teksta (koncepta) i samog

rada te smjestiti vlastitu percepciju, iskustvo i znanje kao

polaznu točku razumijevanja umjetničkog rada u danom

kontekstu.

U svakoj radionica polaznici će se upoznati s određenom

vještinom iz područja izvedbenih, vizualnih umjetnosti

i književnosti: plesnom improvizacijom, snimanjem i

digitalnom obradom te tehnikom blackout poezije. Igra

s različitim načinima gledanja/doživljaja/razumijevanja

umjetničkog djela potiče na izražavanje i stavlja naglasak

na autentično iskustvo promatrača.

How To Visit the Exhibition? :

dance improvisation workshop

with the focus on moving through

the gallery space

Mentor: Kristina Paunovski

The workshop experiments with physically inhabiting

the exhibition space, inviting participants to reflect on

their own way of moving through the gallery, interacting

with the works, examining how the experience of the

work changes depending on the speed and manner of

movement and observation. What if I enter the showroom

backwards? What happens if I perceive the work with only

one of my senses? Is there a difference in the experience

of work that I observe for a few seconds or an hour?

The workshop will focus on the exploration of space

and the body through its expressive possibilities, using

improvisational and compositional tools with an emphasis

26.11.2022.

on releasing the creative impulse. New possibilities in the

research of dance, space and artistic work will deal with

questions such as how to experience the exhibition with

the body and how to interpret the theme with a dance

performance.

Kako posjetiti izložbu? : radionica

plesne improvizacije s fokusom na

kretanje u izložbenom prostoru

Voditeljica: Kristina Paunovski

Radionica eksperimentira s tjelesnim aspektom bivanja u

izložbenom prostoru pozivajući polaznike na promišljanje

vlastitog načina kretanja kroz galeriju, interakciju s

radovima, ispitivanje kako se doživljaj rada mijenja ovisno

o brzini i načinu kretanja i promatranja. Što ako uđem u

izložbeni prostor natraške? Što se zbiva ako rad percipiram

samo jednim od osjetila? Ima li razlike u doživljaju rada

koji promatram par sekundi ili sat vremena?

Radionica će se usmjeriti na istraživanje prostora i tijela kroz

njegove ekspresivne mogućnosti, koristeći improvizacijske i

kompozicijske alate s naglaskom na oslobađanje kreativnog

impulsa. Nove mogućnosti u istraživanju plesa, prostora i

umjetničkog rada bavit će se pitanjima poput kako tijelom

doživjeti izložbu i kako plesnom izvedbom interpretirati

temu.

What do I take with me when I

leave the gallery? : a workshop

on experimental digitization

of content with a focus on

impression/experience

sound, and ultimately creating a filter for a selfie application

that will serve as a playing tool - improvisation with a

memory. The result of the workshop is the digitization of

the exhibition content, the presentation of artworks in a

virtual space that is accessible to a global audience. We will

play with the idea of digitizing the exhibition, exploring

how to virtually present the experience of visitors instead

of individual works.

mentor: Josipa Baljak

Every exhibition we visit leaves a certain impression.

These impressions change in memory; we often forget

what delighted us and remember something completely

different. In order to record impressions, we often observe

the exhibition through the lens of a mobile phone camera.

What if we could take the works we meet at the exhibition

with us in virtual form?

The workshop invites the participants to explore the

exhibition space with a camera, then guides them through

the techniques of recording and processing images and

Što odnosim sa sobom kada

izađem iz izložbenog prostora?

: radionica eksperimentalne

digitalizacije sadržaja s fokusom

na utisak/doživljaj

mentor: Josipa Baljak

Svaka izložba koju posjetimo ostavlja određeni dojam. Ti

se dojmovi u sjećanju mijenjaju; često zaboravljamo ono

što nas je oduševilo i prisjećamo se nečeg sasvim drugog.

U želji da zabilježimo utiske, često izložbu promatramo kroz

objektiv mobitela. Što kada bi radove koje upoznajemo na

izložbi mogli ponijeti sa sobom u virtualnom obliku?

Radionica poziva polaznike na istraživanje izložbenog

prostora kamerom, zatim ih provodi kroz tehnike snimanja

i obrade slike i zvuka te u konačnici izrade filtera za selfie

aplikaciju koji će poslužiti kao alat za igru - improvizaciju

s uspomenom. Rezultat radionice je digitalizacija sadržaja

izložbe, predstavljanje umjetničkih radova u virtualnom

prostoru koji je dostupan globalnoj publici. Poigrat ćemo

se idejom digitalizacije izložbe istražujući kako virtualno

predstaviti, umjesto pojedinog rada, doživljaj posjetitelja.

How do I read art? : blackout

poetry workshop with a focus on

understanding contemporary

artwork

mentors: Petra Čargonja and Natalija Stefanović

By getting to know the exhibition, we create meanings.

Later in conversation with other people, we realize how

they differ from each other. The blackout poetry workshop

will play with reading the exhibition. Using exhibition

texts, concepts, biographies and their own reviews of

individual works, attendees are invited to critically reflect

on the exhibition’s narrative and the themes that the works

deal with, and to rearrange, disassemble and assemble

meanings. We will look for the poetics of the concepts, and

create new meanings through creative reduction.

Blackout is a method of thought recycling that creates a

type of ready-made poetry: by crossing out the content,

the participants will select words and phrases from the

texts that will form a new text. The focus of this process

is play, association, frustration, subconsciousness and

abstraction.

Kako čitam umjetnički rad?

: radionica blackout poezije

sa fokusom na razumijevanje

suvremenog umjetničkog rada

voditeljice: Petra Čargonja i Natalija Stefanović

Upoznajući se s izložbom stvaramo značenja. U kasnijem

razgovoru s ljudima s kojima razmjenjujemo dojmove

shvaćamo kako se oni međusobno razlikuju. Radionica

blackout poezije poigrat će se čitanjem izložbe. Koristeći se

izložbenim tekstovima, konceptima, biografijama i vlastitim

osvrtima na pojedine radove, polaznici su pozvani kritički

se osvrnuti na izložbeni narativ i teme kojima se radovi

bave te presložiti, rastaviti i sastaviti značenja. Iz koncepata

izdvajamo poetsko, kreativnom redukcijom stvaramo nova

značenja. Blackout je metoda misaone reciklaže kojom se

stvara tip ready-made poezije: precrtavanjem sadržaja,

polaznici/e će iz tekstova izdvajati riječi i sintagme koje će

tvoriti novi tekst. Fokus ovog procesa jest igra, asocijacija,

frustracija, podsvijest i apstrakcija.

21:30 ARTIST TALK / RAZGOVOR S AUTORIMA

Extended play / Doigravanje

Discussion moderator: Katarina Erak

Do big players, state powers or artists determine the rules

of the game which penetrate our lives and shape our

experience? Do policymakers or authors dominate the

space and enforce their will, with the consent or complaints

of other actors? Do we allow manipulation of our own

experience and actions - because we have no choice or

want to be guided? Are we marionettes at the exhibition,

whose strings are pulled by artists? Will we rebel or will

we continue to play?

Voditeljica razgovora: Katarina Erak

Određuju li pravila igre, prodiru u naše živote i oblikuju

naše iskustvo - veliki igrači, državni moćnici ili umjetnici?

Dominiraju li prostorom i provode svoju volju, uz pristanak

ili pritužbe drugih - vladajući ili autori? Dopuštamo li

manipulaciju nad vlastitim doživljajem i djelovanjem - jer

nemamo izbora ili želimo biti vođeni? Jesmo li na izložbi

marionete, a umjetnici oni koji vuku naše konce? Slijedi li

pobuna ili ćemo se nastaviti igrati?
