• Password Printmaking

  01.-31.10.2013.

  Password Printmaking is a union of six European non-profit institutions from Belgium, Croatia, Estonia, Poland, Slovenia and Spain.
  
  Our common project promotes contemporary art, artists, cultural workers and raises public awareness of the field of the graphic arts and reproducible art practices related to printmaking. It establishes a structure for the creative integration of the organizers of graphic manifestations of tradition, residency programmes as well as exchanges within Europe, forging links between artists, theoreticians, art institutions and art education establishments across Europe.
  
  All partner institutions have a strong focus on the research, promotion, collection and/or production of modern and contemporary fine art print making and art publications. With this project, we wish to further promote the visibility of graphic and multiple arts in Europe.
  
  Aap Kaur Suvi - the workshop

  The main focus on the workshop is examining the city. City could be looked as a cybernetic system or a program, which is in continuous change and movement.
  A cybernetic system needs feedback to function and adjust itself to improve its further existence. Inhabitats of the city are part of this system and they could be looked at as sensors, but also as agents, who can provoke the program.
  In the workshop we are looking for whatever cross-sections of the city and we start to bug or debug the code. A bug is an error, flaw, or fault in a computer program or system that produces an incorrect or unexpected result. The  printed work could be seen as a bug, which understands its program (the city) but still is causing a little error and a suprise.

  Museum for Modern and Contemporary Art, Rijeka (HR) - MMSU

   

  MMSU in Rijeka founded in 1948, in its long tradition offers a committed support to innovative ways of approaching, producing and presenting art. From its very beginning the Museum has been building reputation of one of the most prominent visual art institutions in Croatia, entrusted with presentation of Croatian artists at prestigious international art events such as: Venice Biennial 1962, 1997, 2007, 2010, Sao Paolo Biennial 1967, 2004 etc. 

  The Museum rounds its programming around visual art education, parallel to different modes of exhibition concepts that address new discursive possibilities and transform it into a place of inspiration, idea exchange and active participation. Under the motto openness, creativity & engagement, together with artistic, cultural and community organizations, Museum furthers visual arts research, collaboration and exchange within the region and internationally, while aspiring to reach increasingly diverse audiences and to work in a close relationship with the community.

  Museum’s collection offers a diverse range of artistic visions with over 8,000 artworks dated from the end of the 19^th century to the present day. From 2017 Museum is located at new address, Krešimirova 26c, in ex-industrial complex Rikard Benčić. Since then, some important exhibitions were organized at MMSU in the framework of the pre-program and program of Rijeka 2020 - European Capital of Culture, i.e. Tomislav Gotovac: Crisis Anticipator - Don't Ask Where We're Going (2017), Vlado Martek: Exhibition with Many Titles and Goran Petercol: Don't Worry About Poetics, They Will Arrive on Their Own in 2019 and David Maljković: With the Collection in 2020..
