The “Observatory of Artistic Work” is a long-term project whose goal is to improve the conditions for documenting and exploring the contemporary art field in Croatia and at the same time to contribute to its visibility in domestic, regional, and international context. The specific goals of the project include creating an independent central source of information on contemporary artists, curators, exhibition practices, and artistic spaces; creating a widely available information channel, educational tool, and research resource; promoting the usage of quantitative and digital methods in art (history); and promoting networking and cooperation between related (artistic, research, institutional, and non-institutional) domestic and international initiatives in the area.
The project is conceptualized and ran by author Tihana Puc, while Format C provides technical, production and administrative support.
