Miroslav Kraljević Gallery is continuing with the Open studio program in which the gallery becomes workspace for the artists while at the same time being open to the public. This year’s first program hosts avant-garde instrumental group from Zagreb: Šumovi protiv valova. Šumovi are: Hrvoje Nikšić, Hrvoje Radnić, Ivan Čadež i Jerko Jurin, who have all been active members of the local music scene for over a decade.
In their contemporary audio collages free dissonant audio landscapes, referring to the musique concrete, classic proto-electronic music compositions and 60s psychedelic music, are intertwined with percussional, pulsating and rhythmic structures inherent to kraut rock music and melodic passages typical for the aesthetics of more contemporary musical tendencies.
An intimate gallery space open to improvisation and experiment will become a perfect scenery for the band whose performances usually develop freely and spontaneously. During their stay the artists will, inspired by the situation and the atmosphere at the gallery, try to discover new musical forms and unify them in brand new compositions.
Open studio will be open for visitors on previously announced dates while final presentation will be held on March 25th at 8 PM.
* The project is supported by: City of Zagreb and Ministry of Culture of Republic of Croatia. Gallery is supported by Kultura Nova.*
