Project: “Project we need it-we do it / to trebamo-to radimo”
“We need contemporary culture and art, places of critical sociability and we need spaces adapted for their development. We do not wait for ideal conditions, we realize them. We begin to use abandoned spaces, we adapt them and use them at the same time, the content is developed together with the architecture serving it. Architecture ceases to be just a framework for the social events and becomes one of protagonists.”
The setting that unites three cultural scenes, in three old buildings, in three Croatian cities (Rijeka, Zagreb, Split) into one new place is constructed in one of the rooms of the Venetian Arsenal. At the same time, it is a mini-museum that maps history of exploitation of these buildings, infrastructure that gathers in itself contemporary events, current artists and visions of these spaces and contents in times to come. Art scene is in one room, containing works from squatters and punkers to well-known artists. Artists that participate in it with their new works do not consider it as a model of some distant buildings, but as a concrete equally real space, because of the interactions and all necessary cultural meaning created within it. Some consider it a stage of this specific national scene. Some fear it is a catacomb in which the scene has withdrawn due to the current social circumstances.
Three room walls are formed by cross-sections of the Youth Centre in Split, Pogon Jedinstvo in Zagreb and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka. The cross-sections consist of shallow niches, each representing a concrete space, whether existing or designed, with a program that either happened or is planned to happen. The Venice Exhibition is a concentrate of living processes and another way in which architecture can stimulate their development.
