Programme



This workshop is intended to provoke thinking beyond mainstream  
heritage concepts, categories and texts while engaging with  
alternative intellectual and methodological frame-works orientated  
towards the fundamental re-conceptualisations and reconstruction of  
core heritage values, practices and ethics.


The impetus for this workshop is multiyear interdisciplinary project  
Man is Space( Vitić_dances, Another Architecture, etc.), that is  
aspired towards discovering and promotion of new models of  
interconnection between cultural practice and civic activism, and  
transparency of cultural and social housing policy. Man is Space aims  
to stimulate the discussion about the modes and possibilities of  
conservation and rehabilitation of modern Croatian architecture and  
its transformation into active cultural, touristic and economic  
capital. This project focuses metaphorically and literally on a Man as  
a spatial creature, creative creature that conquers and occupies the  
space, and is conceived to be developed through long-term research of  
all forms of creation, modelling, re-thinking and devastation of space  
as one of the basic human resources, i.e. community resource.


Finally, "Man is Space: Vitić Dances” is a community art project on  
a 10-storey condominium building in Zagreb built by the architect Ivo  
Vitić – a masterpiece of the modern architecture of the late  
1950’s, registered as a national monument  - that is in a  
deteriorating state, and threatens the lives of its 256 inhabitants.  
This project of reordering spatial and social relations, began by  
Croatian artist Boris Bakal (Shadow Casters) in 2005 by moving into  
the building and becoming deeply acquainted with its history, its  
tenants and their everyday hardship; starting a complex  
interdisciplinary endeavour that combines permanent artistic  
interventions and programmes in and around the building, with  
consistent social engagement, while aiming to raise the public  
awareness of its tenants and local community, and to restore this  
iconic building along with regeneration of material and non-material  
aspects of urban life enhanced by civic interactions and  
participation. Restoration of this building (planned for 2015) will be  
the one of the major investments (funded by co-owners and City of  
Zagreb) in social housing ever in Croatia.
