• Rijeka - Port of Diversity Project

  18.10.-02.12.2016.

  Mario Paniego will be developing a project based on the three main topics of Rijeka 2020 European Capital of Culture cultural project. MIGRATION, WATER, WORK.

  This project is about understanding migration as a phenomenon similar to water - both are moving all the time and both are creating life as they move. It's also about taking every person as a migrant - we all move from one place to another trying to improve our life. We are forced to do it in order to survive or just for the joy of discovering. From one continent to another one, from a country to another one, from a city to another one, from a neighbourhood to another one, from a house to another one, from a room to another one... I will try to bring up some art interventions and pieces focused on sharing these ideas with locals and trying to help developing Rijeka city as a port of diversity. To start with it, I am interviewing Croatians that live in the Basque Country; especially the ones located in Donostia, European Capital of Culture 2016, and soon I will do the same with migrants that live in Rijeka.

  Museum for Modern and Contemporary Art, Rijeka (HR) - MMSU

   

  MMSU in Rijeka founded in 1948, in its long tradition offers a committed support to innovative ways of approaching, producing and presenting art. From its very beginning the Museum has been building reputation of one of the most prominent visual art institutions in Croatia, entrusted with presentation of Croatian artists at prestigious international art events such as: Venice Biennial 1962, 1997, 2007, 2010, Sao Paolo Biennial 1967, 2004 etc. 

  The Museum rounds its programming around visual art education, parallel to different modes of exhibition concepts that address new discursive possibilities and transform it into a place of inspiration, idea exchange and active participation. Under the motto openness, creativity & engagement, together with artistic, cultural and community organizations, Museum furthers visual arts research, collaboration and exchange within the region and internationally, while aspiring to reach increasingly diverse audiences and to work in a close relationship with the community.

  Museum’s collection offers a diverse range of artistic visions with over 8,000 artworks dated from the end of the 19^th century to the present day. From 2017 Museum is located at new address, Krešimirova 26c, in ex-industrial complex Rikard Benčić. Since then, some important exhibitions were organized at MMSU in the framework of the pre-program and program of Rijeka 2020 - European Capital of Culture, i.e. Tomislav Gotovac: Crisis Anticipator - Don't Ask Where We're Going (2017), Vlado Martek: Exhibition with Many Titles and Goran Petercol: Don't Worry About Poetics, They Will Arrive on Their Own in 2019 and David Maljković: With the Collection in 2020..
