(DIS)TRUST THE STORYTELLER – THE CASE OF KRVAVICA CHILDREN\u2019S HEALTH RESORT<\/div>
2024<\/div><\/div>

Designed by Rikard Marasovi\u0107, the Children\u2019s Health Resort in Krvavica near Makarska is a legendary building from the 1960s located on the Adriatic coast. Protected as immobile cultural property, this masterpiece of late Modernist architecture has been gradually decaying since the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

This publication recounts the history of a place and of the real and parallel lives of a building originally intended for the treatment of children with respiratory diseases. The book features interdisciplinary research and texts on the building\u2019s past and on its architect, presented from various angles. It also reflects our attempts to include the participants of the citizens\u2019 initiatives for the protection and revitalisation of the building, as well as to give voice to the tenants of the adjacent apartment block, whose fate is tethered to that of the former resort. The publication\u2019s title is a reference to the ambivalent retelling and (re)articulation of recent social and personal narratives. This is a story of the loss of social and transformation of personal memory caused by radical social changes, and the consequences of these processes.<\/p>\n

PERSISTENT TRACES FROM HERITAGE TO COME<\/div>
2020<\/div><\/div>

Expanded documentation of the collaborative project Collective Domain of Cultural Memory (2018-2020)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Printed before completing the Collective Domain of Cultural Memory project, this book cannot be seen as a conclusion. Instead the book is a trajectory, a dendritic trail through the artistic practices and methods that were involved in the process of the becoming of the Collective Domain of Cultural Memory. In order to make space for discussing new ways of relating to and understanding cultural heritage, CDCM departs from three local cases in which each of the partner organizations have invested independently for years.<\/p>\n

A critical reflection on and examination of the protection of modernist architecture from the second half of the twentieth century in Croatia.<\/p>\n

A proposal for a more dissociative logic of archiving in a context of institutional neglect of modern architectural heritage in post-socialist North Macedonia.<\/p>\n

And an exploration of unorthodox approaches to cultural heritage collections in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

These independent cases are connected in their methods; they consort with cultural heritage through artistic practices.<\/p>\n

Any discussion regarding cultural heritage draws attention to the sociopolitical and cultural tendencies of the specific period from which the heritage originates as well as those of the present moment. Critical artistic practices open up possibilities for nonlinear perceptions of history. This allows us to recognize the discrepancies between the past and the present and to consider the multiplicity of viewpoints within them.<\/p>\n

Some of the essays collected in this book represent empirical and theoretical explorations of artistic practices dealing with heritage, while others emphasize the political context in which the relations between heritage and artistic practices emerge, suffer, survive, or bloom. They all offer alternative understandings of cultural heritage in Europe in today's transitional times.<\/p>\n

Even though the discourse is stretched towards the locations where each of the partner organizations operates, we see throughout these texts how questions about the status of cultural heritage cross geographical borders.<\/p>\n

What can an archive from the Institute for Town Planning and Architecture in Skopje destroyed in a fire, the neglect of Yugoslavian modernist architecture in Croatia, and depots piled high with well-preserved objects in the Netherlands teach us when redefining cultural heritage?<\/p>\n

This book presents the unsettled ideas and explorations of the founders and curators of Press to Exit Project Space: Yane Calovski, Loose Associations: Natasa Bodrozic, and Suns and Stars: Marjoca de Greef and Anastasija Pandilovska, which arose in the process of the becoming of the CDCM project. Each partner organization invited a writer; prominent and meaningful voices in the fragmented and wandering discourse of artistic affiliations with cultural heritage. Loose Associations invited Ivana Bago, Press to Exit Project Space invited Jovanka Popova, and Suns and Stars invited Lucy Cotter. Their contributions bring new light to the ongoing project.<\/p>\n

Consumer culture landscapes in socialist Yugoslavia<\/div>
2019<\/div><\/div>

Socialist Yugoslavia was a unique experiment with progressive social forms that were matched by specific urban development. Since the mid-1960\u2019s until the country\u2019s disintegration in the 1990\u2019s is a period of ambiguity: while according to some researchers, the market-oriented economic reforms brought a much needed opening and liberalization, according to others it marked the beginning of an end of the revolutionary demand for equality. Thus, the anti-utopianism of the consumer welfare reflected in
\nthe rise of the middle class with its recognisable habits and taste.<\/p>\n

Following a specific architectural typology, this book delves into this period which brought along social and economic changes.<\/p>\n

It focuses on the sports and shopping centre Koteks Gripe in Split and similar architectural complexes in Sarajevo, Novi Sad, and Prishtina all designed by the Sarajevo-based architect \u017divorad Jankovic and associates, gradually expanding towards broader considerations of the architectural practice, contention and coalescence within the Yugoslav modernist project.<\/p>\n

Motel Trogir: it is not future that always comes after<\/div>
2016<\/div><\/div>

Motel Trogir is a fine example of Yugoslav mid-20th century architectural modernism. Built in 1965 on the eastern Adriatic coast by a renowned architect Ivan Vitic, the building is a surviving artefact of the planning culture with a social ideal as its generative core. Today in a derelict state due to unresolved property issues, as a result of the non-transparent privatization of what once was societal ownership, the motel stands as a reminder of the former political economy with its different foundations and aspirations.<\/p>\n

Conceived during a period of markedly increased transit tourism in the small Dalmatian town of Trogir, the construction of the Motel had been planned in parallel with that of the Adriatic Highway. It was envisaged as one of the performative elements that would fit within the utopian vision of the Highway imagined as a feature film unfolding on the travelers\u2019 windscreens. Although visionary, the building and the belonging \u201cemptiness\u201d around it, seem like an abnormal error in the urban imagination of present-day administrators, real estate developers and entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n

This book tells the story of the 1960s in the Socialist Yugoslavia, the country in between the East and the West, between the socialist agenda and the market economy. Focusing on tourist architecture and planning, it pursues the turbulent decades that followed, reflected in Ivan Vitic\u2019s Adriatic motels.<\/p>\n

SPACES. CULTURAL PUBLIC SPHERE IN ARMENIA, GEORGIA, MOLDOVA AND UKRAINE<\/div>
2014<\/div><\/div>

Expanded documentation of the SPACES project (2011-2014)<\/strong><\/p>\n

This publication explores the development of a cultural public sphere in Central Eastern Europe. Framed by reflections on the past, it invites the reader to follow the contemporary experiences of the project SPACES \u2013 Sustainable Public Areas for Culture in Eastern Countries, which developed numerous participative artistic and cultural actions in Armenia, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine from 2011 until 2014. From underground passages in Tbilisi, Georgia, to places of memory in Yerevan, Armenia, derelict industrial zones in Kyiv, Ukraine, and \u00a0areas of urban conflicts in Chisinau, Moldova: the artistic interventions presented in this volume mirror the social transformation processes in post-Soviet Europe and the positioning of artists in the struggle for change and for new, empowered forms of citizenship.<\/p>\n

Politics of Feelings \/ Economies of Love<\/div>
2014<\/div><\/div>

project by k.r.u.z.o.k. (Irena Bori\u0107, Fokus Grupa, slobodne veze\/ loose associations)<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Politics of Feelings \/ Economies of Love publication brings about a set of reflections on the possible relation between ideology and social emotions, sexuality and nationalism, love and emotional community within nationalist and\/or market fundamentalism.
\nIn attempts to find out how these issues were tackled in film, visual arts and architecture, we are trying to draw some new lines of understanding love as a tissue in which political, social, ideological and economic meanings are inscribed.<\/p>\n

This publication is composed of visual and textual contributions which unfold different chapters on the entanglement of politics and collective sentiment, as well as love as a trigger for dedicated unpaid work.<\/p>\n
