Join us for the opening of the exhibition 'The Three Falls' on June 20 (7 pm) at KONTEJNER! 📀 🔈 The exhibition explores three events dramatically inscribed into the physical and mental space of the city – the devastating earthquake that struck Zagreb in March 2020, the unresolved crash of a Soviet military drone in March 2022, and the downfall of the media giant Vjesnik, liquidated and finally vacated in 2023, with its former printing complex now housing the KONTEJNER exhibition and performance venue. Speculating with the topological models of catastrophe, material debris found in-situ, and using sound as the fundamental medium, the exhibition juxtaposes three different durations: geological, geopolitical, and political processes, immersing visitors in a site-specific stratigraphy of sudden, but perpetuating collapse. From the exhibition catalog: "The collapse of Vjesnik signifies not merely the last chapter of post-socialist disintegration but also the final collapse of the McLuhanian universe. At a time when 'the model became the message', McLuhan’s original phrase has become an emptied historical artifact. The exhibition treats the architecture of the fallen media giant as a bare medium, and its debris as a material surface for inscribing events as raw data, equally unreadable to humans and machines. Offering no singular meaning or forensic exactitude, the exhibition soundscape folds time and space, politics with geological processes and planetary warfare, into an affective catastrophe playing in endless, irregular loops. Instead of daily newspapers, the exhibition becomes a damaged black box playing the soundtrack of 'now'." (Nikola Bojić) Exhibition authors: Nikola Bojic, Miodrag Gladović, Damir Gamulin, Damir Prizmić The work was produced by KONTEJNER | bureau of contemporary art praxis within the DIY_ARTLAB (UradiSam_ARTLAB) project The exhibition is open from June 20 to July 13, 2024.

We’re excited to share that our team recently traveled to the vibrant city of Zagreb, Croatia, for a productive partners’ meeting and to attend the inspiring Gibanja Festival by KONTEJNER | bureau of contemporary art praxis. Our discussions in Zagreb focused on the future of Digital Inter/Section(DI/S) and the impact that business coaching will have on our local pilot experimentations. The collaborative energy and dynamic ideas that were shared during our time in Zagreb were truly impressive. As we enter the final year of our project, we’re eager to concentrate on improving ticketing practices, designing a professional market, and developing commercial offers to support our business model. We’re grateful for the opportunity to work with our talented partners and to participate in the Gibanja Festival. We look forward to continuing to collaborate and innovate together to achieve our goals. #Zagreb #GibanjaFestival #DI/S #BusinessCoaching #Teamwork Digital Inter/Section's partners - KONTEJNER | bureau of contemporary art praxis, Chroniques, Signal Festival, MASSIVart, AC Coppens, KIKK Galaxy cc - Ilaria Bondavalli, Fabien Fabre, Céline Berthoumieux, Mathieu VABRE, Gwladys Bernard, AC Coppens, Anna Desponds, Melissa V., Emilie Winkler, Ana Bedenko, Emilie D., Arthur Gaillard, Delphine Jenart, Marie du Chastel, Gilles Bazelaire, Mario Kunovsky, Karolína Kostková, Ena Hodzic, Jadrana Curkovic

#OPENCALL: Don’t miss it!   Realities In Transition is calling for seven XR artists, designers, creative coders, and developers to collaborate on a collective XR production during a hybrid residency from June to September 2024 (Rotterdam, NL) at V2_, Lab for the Unstable Media. The resulting work will be presented at Ars Electronica festival 2024.   Since presentations of XR experiences often focus on the individual rather than incorporating the audience present in the exhibition space, this residency aspires to explore the possibilities of a communal XR experience. To mirror this intended outcome, the residency is also designed as a communal creation process of one joint artwork, with all residents contributing according to their individual expertise, practice, and vision.   Submission deadline: May 1, 2024 (23:59, CEST)   For more information about the open call visit: https://lnkd.in/d4_HnBkk   #realitiesintransition #creativeeurope

Immerse yourselves in Davor Sanvincenti’s multimedia installation at KONTEJNER: 'eye sleeps, ear breathes' 🐺 🐗 🌲 🔈   'eye sleeps, ear breathes' is a multimedia installation by Davor Sanvincenti based on field recordings of animal habitats. The work emerged from a complex multi-year project that involved artistic and technological research and engineering work, realized in collaboration with electroacoustic engineer Miodrag Gladović. Sanvincenti and Gladović created a so-called sound trap to capture sounds of the animal world at night, and bring moments when the animal kingdom lives freely, devoid of human presence, closer to the human ear and eye. The sound trap allowed us to approach a spectrum unfamiliar to us; entering into the intimacy of wildlife sound and its acoustic environment at microlocations of the Risnjak National Park (Croatia) and Peneda-Gerês National Park (Portugal). The recordings also make a significant contribution to the assessment of the biodiversity of these areas in relation to anthropogenic noise and sound pollution, making them valuable archival material for future generations. From the collected material, Sanvincenti creates a multi-channel audiovisual installation that puts the visitor in a state of uncertainty, provoking tension in the auditory apparatus and altering our listening and auditory perception, while simultaneously creating empathy towards nature and the animal world. Engaging with the philosophy of sound and psychoacoustics, Sanvincenti relies in many ways on the work of composer and artist Maryanne Amacher, from whom he takes the title of the installation, but also on the work of other pioneers of theories and understanding of listening. The exhibition is open from 16 to 30 April at KONTEJNER, Odranska 1/1, Zagreb Opening hours Monday to Friday: 16-20 h Saturday: 11-15 h     Production and organization: KONTEJNER | bureau of contemporary art praxis Curator: Davorka Begovic Equipment development and programming: Miodrag Gladović Technical realization: Jakov Habjan, Andrija Santro Design: kuna zlatica Marketing and communications: Jadrana Ćurković, Inesa Antić Thanks: LIFE Lynx   The program is co-financed by the City Office for Culture of the City of Zagreb and the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia. The research part of the project was realized within the framework of the Arc-hive project, and some of the recordings used in the work as part of the European Media Art Platform residency program at gnration (Portugal), with the support of the Creative Europe Culture subprogram of the European Union.

Designing for Regenerative Landscapes - New cycle of podcasts within the Future DiverCities project 🎧 🎙 🌳   Exciting news! 🌿 “The School of the Feral Grounds", organized within the Future DiverCities project, is entering its final learning module with a podcast series titled "Designing for Regenerative Landscapes". Hosted by Danica Sretenović and Gaja Mežnarić Osole from Trajna/Krater (SI), this series kicks off on March 29, 2024, with a captivating conversation on "Curating Ecological Care & Repair" featuring Gilly Karjevsky from Floating University.   Join us as we explore diverse cultural approaches to ecological regeneration across different national contexts and spatial typologies. Despite challenges like precarity and ecological illiteracy, the podcast aims to empower cultural actors across Europe to engage in resilient ecological actions.   Each episode delves into specific topics, from urban curation to planning for multispecies urbanism. By shedding light on eco-cultural stewardship, the goal is to spark meaningful change and foster a more sustainable future. Stay tuned for the first episode and join the conversation!   PODCAST #1 on 29 March 2024, online Curating Ecological Care & Repair by Gilly Karjevsky, Floating University   For the opening conversation, Gilly Karjevsky will delve into curatorial approaches and formats rooted in ethics of care for our communities, our cities, and the planet. Derived from the word 'curare,' meaning 'to cure,' Karjevsky will offer radical imaginaries on tending to and healing our fractured relationships within urban ecologies by repositioning curatorial practice outside traditional institutional frameworks to engage with site-specific, multispecies contexts. #futuredivercities #CreativeEurope #ecosocisaldesign Centrul Cultural PLAI; ANTI - Contemporary Art Festival; Savonia University of Applied Sciences; Chroniques; Innocamp Poland; European Creative Hubs Network; KONTEJNER | bureau of contemporary art praxis; Friche la Belle de Mai; bios, exploring urban culture; Public Art Lab; LAMA
