SYMPOSIUM - GEFF: FROM ANTI-FILM TO LESSONS IN FREEDOM
12.02.2026. - 13.02.2026. / Dvorana Gorgona
As part of the retrospective exhibition "GEFF 1963 - 1969: from anti-film to black wave“ in the Black Box of the MSU, the Croatian Film Association, the Museum of Contemporary Art and the Tomislav Gotovac Institute are organizing a two-day symposium in Gorgona Hall, which brings together art and film historians/theoreticians, film artists and media researchers from the country and abroad. The aim of the symposium is to determine – from today's perspective and with a gap of several decades – the significance of the Genre Film Festival in the context of Croatian, regional and European culture and to value its heritage. Like the exhibition it relies on, the symposium will be an opportunity to highlight lesser-known fragments of GEFF manifestations, to analyse and synthesise, and to exchange and confront views on GEFF as an essential component of both global and local research art and culture of the 1960s.

Bauhaus Ecologies – Webs of Continuity
24.02.2026. - 24.05.2026. / MSU, 1. kat povremenih izložbi
The exhibition Bauhaus Ecologies – Webs of Continuity opens up with the question whether the historical Bauhaus can be read from an ecological perspective. In doing so, ecology is understood not only as a theme, but as a way of thinking, as a web of relations between materials and ideas, past and present practices, between art and the everyday. Within this framework, ecology is establishing connections between materials, technology and social conditions, and recycling becomes an essential method for reading and connecting artworks, the way in which forms and methods of the modernism were introduced in the art practice from the second half of the 20th century until today. In that way, history is not confined to archives, but returns to the present as a starting point for examination of space and materials, and our common world.
