sculpture network start'19 in Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb, Zagreb:

The central theme of the START'19 program at the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb is meeting and getting to know artists and people interested in three-dimensional art. It is also a chance to explore artists' portfolios and catalogues. The round table and specialized tours will be focused on a phenomenon of contemporary society which experts refer to as a society hungry for touch. The increasing presence of visual content and the inability to communicate by touch and achieve actual physical presence leads to alienation and being out of touch with society and the environment. The program will include mindful physical and tactile experiences of artworks in the permanent display, guided tours by curators with an emphasis on Carsten Höller's Double slide, the Ivan Kožarić Studio, the exhibition by Catalan artist Pep Vidal and the multisensory exhibition Josef and Anni Albers: Voyage Inside A Blind Experience. The program will include workshops for the public, a round table discussion with experts from the field of social sciences and humanities and documentary film screenings about Croatian sculptors in the Gorgona hall.

Središnja tema programa START'19 Muzeja suvremene umjetnosti u Zagrebu susret je i prilika za druženje s umjetnicima i svima zainteresiranima za trodimenzionalnu umjetnost, te pregledavanje portfolija i kataloga umjetnika. Okrugli stol i specijalizirana vodstva bave se fenomenom suvremenog društva koji stručnjaci nazivaju društvo gladno dodira. Sve veća prisutnost vizualnih sadržaja i nemogućnost komunikacije dodirom i stvarnom tjelesnom prisutnošću, dovodi do osjećaja otuđenosti i gubitka dodira s društvom i okolišem. Program uključuje svjesno tjelesno i taktilno iskustvo radova izloženih u stalnom postavu, vodstva kustosa s naglaskom na Dvostruki tobogan Carstena Höllera, Atelijer Ivana Kožarića i izložbu katalonskog umjetnika Pep Vidala, te multisenzornu izložbu Josef i Anni Albers: Putovanje kroz slijepo iskustvo. Tijekom dana će se odvijati radionice za građanstvo, okrugli stol sa stručnjacima iz područja društvenih i humanističkih znanosti i projekcije dokumentarnih filmova o hrvatskim kiparima u dvorani Gorgona.
