As part of the Croatian exhibition at the 54th Venice Biennale BADco. is presenting a site-specific installation and intervention titled Responsibility for Things Seen: Tales in Negative Space, the first phase of a multi-segment project we will conclude with a premiere at the Zagreb Youth Theater in early 2012. The central concern of the project is the issue of mediated responsibility, relating to events we witness in images and different modes of spectating. The Venice installation, conceived as theater by other means, will construct the field of friction between the power of images to engage our collective imagination, to open or shut the horizon of the future, and different modes of spectating - opening a potential space of critical and transformative work of spectating.
We are inspired by the fact that our work is presented alongside the work of Tomislav Gotovac, an artist with whom we share an intuition that there is a continuity between seeing and creating, and an interest for the internal material organization of the artistic reality - what the artist had called "the steel mash".
For a detailed description of Responsibility for Things Seen: Tales in Negative Space and full credits see: BADco_Croatia_2011
The exhibition organized by the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Croatia is realized in collaboration with Croatian film clubs' association and Zagreb Youth Theater.
