Oris House of Architecture: Pre-premiere / ArtiParti vol 3

 

16/12/2014

On Thursday, 4 December 2014, at Oris House of Architecture there was a pre-premiere party; we welcomed ArtiParti vol 3 – the project of the students from the Academy of Fine Arts, the Academy of Dramatic Art and the Music Academy.

The project resulted from the cooperation of the Pensat Association of Students from the Island of Hvar in Zagreb and the Libertas Association of Students from Dubrovnik. This was the third ArtiParti, the first held in Oris House of Architecture.

We had the opportunity to see the exhibition of works – sculptures, paintings, installations – created by the students of the Academy of Fine Arts, listen to the monologues delivered by the actors from the Academy of Dramatic Art and the band of students from the Music Academy, as well as the female vocal group Figurin.

The organizers say: In the society which creates little opportunity for the young artists to present their talents in their own way, due to the economic situation, disinterested public or the fact that they are underestimated, artists have to give the others the privilege to enjoy their talents. The art of these young people is uncategorised and thus worth to be presented. Their work is mostly graded and then forgotten, but in this way it can help the public and the artists themselves. ArtiParti helps to increase cultural consciousness, encourages cooperation among students and provides experience and practice. 

By the act of housing the works of these young artists, who will surely become important participants of the adult cultural scene (and not in the distant future), Oris House of Architecture marked the (pre)beginning of its activity in the best possible way.

The multimedia centre Oris House of Architecture is being completed and will open its doors at the beginning of next year. It is designed for the promotion of architecture and culture, as a place where architects, designers, business people and other interested participants from the cultural and business scene would meet and socialize.

The newcomers to our cultural scene will have a special place in Oris House of Architecture so we hope that this will not be the last time we spent time with ArtiParti members and that we will meet regularly when Oris House of Architecture is opened.
