This December we are hosting the first module of “free_art_-_” project, @ Inquiry Inc., an independent artist space run by the artistic organisation Format C. Our theme is collaboration, in the area of contemporary audiovisual culture.
free_art_-_collab [Dec 12th - Dec 15th 2015.] is a discoursive - presentational and residential programme, oriented towards presenting local [CRO] authors who deal with contemporary digital culture, based on the principles of self-production, self-sustainability and the tactics of collaboration.

Young authors Tea Stražičić and Marta Stražičić will introduce the public to their artistic and animation practice, and we will also tackle the theme of their Schwestern Sisters collective and the collaboration with various independent artists, for this occasion specifically - the members of Squigly Lines audio-visual project.
We will point out the means of local cultural production accessible in the ephemeral and international space of the www, and the diversity of individual practices for the creation of free - liberated and approachable art.

After the artist talk, we continue by hosting the authors in a discoursive residential programme, dialoguing on the context and the focal points for this type of artistic creation, and the potential of independent self-producing and self-publishing regarding numerous open repos, open source and free softwares & web spaces.

The programme is our additional content to the presentation of The Wrong - New Digital Art Biennale exhibition [Sept 1st 2015.- Sept 31st 2016.], the largest biennale in the world (50+ curated online pavillions & Homeostasis Lab  - a public participation pavillion; 40+ IRL/AFK embassies; 90+ curators; 1000+ artists), with Inquiry Inc. space as an Osijek-based AFK/IRL embassy for the presentation of digital artworks taking part at The Wrong.
The Wrong is a contemporary art exhibition, happening both online and offline, and aims to create, promote and push positive forwardthinking contemporary digital art to a wider audience worldwide through a biennial event that gathers the best art selected by the best, while embraces the young talents of today’s exciting digital art scene.

organizers:

Artist organization Format C formed with a mission to affirm and assure the presence of all types of contemporary Art, first and foremost on our local scene, as well as to help strengthen professional and social bonds on the regional, and ultimately- the global scene.
During 2015. we exhibited or helped organize art events and projects such as /‘fu:bar/ ; Drava Art Biennale 2015. ; Glitch /Databend  ; Cultural Elevator & Ratess @ Arte Utíl at Gallery Nova, and recently we wrapped up the last [expo] part of the G /Databend educational collaborative project, and are prepping our Osijek-based embassy for The Wrong - New Digital Art Biennale, and a number of our artistic reserches. Our focus of interest is on contemporary artistic research and creative production, and we also deal with all things fringe and visionary.
We aim to create, to inspire, idealize, communicate, present and consume art.

U prosincu u Inquiry Inc., prostoru umjetničke organizacije Format C, provodimo prvi modul projekta “free_art_-_”, sa tematikom suradnji u području suvremene audiovizualne umjetnosti.

free_art_-_collab odvija se kao dodatni sadržaj predstavljanju izložbe The Wrong - New Digital Art Biennale [1.11.2015.-31.1.2016.], najvećeg bijenala na svijetu (50+ online paviljona baziranih na kustoskim konceptima i Homeostasis Lab  - pavilljon otvoren za javno sudjelovanje; 40+ fizičkih ambasada diljem svijeta; 90+ kustosa; 1000+ umjetnika), sa prostorom Inquiry Inc. u ulozi osječke AFK/IRL ambasade u kojoj možete sagledati sadržaj The Wrong-a.

Ovogodišnji The Wrong je drugo izdanje ove koncepcije pristupačnog karaktera i slobodnog pristupa i odvija se tokom tri mjeseca na oko stotinu lokacija diljem svijeta i www-a, te od ožujka i u kulturnim institucijama diljem svijeta, s prvom potvrđenom - La Casa Encendida, Madrid.
Cilj mu je međunarodnim vaninstitucionalnim bijenalnim događanjem stvoriti, promaknuti i pokazati odabranu najbolju suvremenu digitalnu umjetnost kroz prezentaciju kustoskih koncepcija i autora koji „open source“ formatom bijenala daju svoj doprinos (re)definiranju umjetnosti.

Uz kurirani sadržaj, aktivno je i nekoliko otvorenih poziva putem kojih možete sudjelovati u paviljonima svojim umjetničkim ili pisanim radom. Više na : thewrong.org/filter/submit/

Diskurzivni prezentacijski i rezidencijalni program free_art_-_collab [12.12.-15.12.2015.] orijentiran je prema predstavljanju autora i autorica koji djeluju na području RH, u sferi digitalne kulture bazirane na principima samoprodukcije, a s naglaskom na tematici samoodrživosti i taktikama suradnje i razmjene znanja.
Svoju umjetničku i animatorsku praksu i djela predstavit će mlade autorice Tea Stražičić i Marta Stražičić (Schwestern Sisters), a govoriti ćemo i o njihovoj suradnji s autorima koji stoje iza audiovizualnog projekta Squigly lines (Dražen Dukat i Karlo Rafaneli).
Prikazat će se lokalna produkcija dostupna u međunarodnom prostoru www-a, te raznolikost autorskih pristupa kojima se može generirati free - slobodna, odnosno pristupačna umjetnost.

Nakon artist talk-a, nastavit ćemo s rezidencijalnim programom kojima ćemo istražiti kontekst i izvorišne točke za nastanak ovakvoga tipa umjetnosti, kao i modele vaninstitucionalnog samoproduciranja i samopublikacije, baziranog na besplatnim repozitorijima, open source i free softverima i web platformama.

         Marta Stražičić

Marta Stražičić je rođena u Zadru 19.04.1995. Diplomirala je grafički dizajn u Osnovnoj umjetničkoj školi u Zadru 2013.
Završava prvu godinu BA programa za animaciju i nove medije na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti u Zagrebu. Osim kratkih grafičkih novela, napravila je i nekoliko kratkih animiranih filmova eksperimentirajući sa digitalnim i tradicionalnim medijima. Putovala je sa obitelji oko Pacifika, Mediterana i Kariba. Tijekom godina je prikupila mnogo “pro bono” iskustva, ilustrirajući jumbo plakate i logotipe za različite događaje i bendove. Nakon samostalnog učenja japanskog jezika od 2009. od 2013. počinje pohađati privatne satove japanskog jezika. Trenutno ju najviše inspirira nalaženje novih načina korištenja digitalne umjetnosti kroz mediji gifova, glitcheva i animacije za koje u glavnom koristi Maya 3D i Cinema 4D softvere.

organizatori:

Umjetnička organizacija “Format C” nastala je s misijom da istraži i podrži suvremeni kulturni kapital, recentnu umjetnost i sve njene nematerijalne ivice. U 2015.g. smo izlagali ili pružili stručnu podršku pri umjetničkim događanjima i projektima /‘fu:bar/ ; Drava Art Biennale 2015. ; Glitch /Databend ; Kulturni lift i Štakorica @ Arte Utíl u Galeriji Nova, a recentno smo dovršili posljednju [expo] fazu suradničkog projekta G /Databend putem premijerne izložbe u našemu prostoru Inquiry Inc., pružili podršku pri organizaciji izložbe Nezavisni prostori - prostori nezavisnih, te priredili osječku ambasadu za The Wrong - New Digital Art Biennale, kao i niz vlastitih umjetničkih istraživanja. Fokus Formata C je na suvremenom umjetničkom istraživanju i stvaralaštvu, rubnim i vizionarskim praksama.
Želimo stvarati, inspirirati, idealizirati, komunicirati, prezentirati i konzumirati umjetnost.
