Art in public space - from the Grounded Sun to Mesnička Street

Numerous artists and art groups had found their ideal stage for expression in Zagreb's public areas during the 1960s and 1970s, introducing them with questions regarding important topics. How do you approach the audience with art, how do you take a step back from the institutions, how do you provoke change - all of these questions had become the center stage through many performances, interventions and actions. This tour will take you through these areas, starting from the Grounded Sun and ending on Mesnička Street, and present you with the formation of new conceptual practies which are still outlined in contemporary art practices.

I was very looking forward to coming to Zagreb, especially because my mother travelled with me. My people found out everything about it, so that we could see the main stuff in the city!

Jesse Eisenberg (actor) spent the autumn in Zagreb in 2007: Zagreb is an incredible town. I enjoyed sightseeing the old parts of the town, and at night I went to clubs. I was thrilled that it was near Austria and Italy, so I visited Venice, Milan, Ljubljana, Graz, Split... over the weekends.

I am looking forward to Zagreb as a destination where I always feel good. It seems it has been too long since the last time I was here, although it was just a year or so.
