05.09 – 23.09.2017 CENTER OF SOUND, MARGIN OF SILENCE (ZAGREB, CROATIA)

The multidisciplinary art project Centre of sounds, margin of silence opens a new chapter of international cooperation, exploring the sonic landscapes of city spaces, their gravitational zones and periphery through urban centres in Croatia, Switzerland and Columbia: Zagreb, Zadar, Zurich, Santa Marta and Bogota. By soundmapping the daily life of urban centres, we aim to bring a local, familiar environment and a foreign, unfamiliar one into a hitherto unexplored comparative relation, explore their convergence and divergence points, and open the possibility of new ways of understanding, since these cities have significantly different tactics of urban planning.

First part of the project was held in January and February 2017 in Bogotá and Santa Marta with artists: Sylvia Jaimes, Esneider Alfonso Gamboa Burbano, Fernando Pertuz, Ricardo Andrés Bautista, Mirjam Wanner, Almira Medaric, Bojan Mucko, Tea Hatadi, Goran Škofić, Josip Zanki, guests artist: Natalia Guevara, Juan José Tahua and with the professors and students for the National University of Colombia in Bogotá, Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Visuales.

Second phase of the “Center of sound, margin of silence » will be held in September 2017 in Zagreb in collaboration with both, institutional and independent partners: Greta Gallery, Technical Museum Nikola Tesla, Društvo Arhitekata Zagreb (DAZ) and Croatian Association of Fine Artists (HDLU).
