Group Show - Wasser Schöpfen / ZAGRABITI

The group exhibition Wasser Schöpfen / ZAGRABITI is the culmination of The Residency chapter of One-sided Story, www.onesidedstory.comThe idea of the organizer was that each of the artists, participating in the project, could reflect upon the topic of One- Sided Story and represent this topic through the visual tradition of his/her own country, on a neutral location, in the community with local and international artists. One-sided Story – The Residency, directed by American artist Candace Goodrich, was a highly successful collaborative project based in Leipzig, Germany from May 2012 to May 2013, involving 38 artists within a year’s time, coming from Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Poland, Croatia, Israel, the UK, Canada, and the United States. The Croatian Association of Artists and the Alumni Association of the New York Academy of Art were the primary partner organizations. Residents shared a 243 square meter atelier space in Halle 14, www.halle14.org in the Spinnerei www.spinnerei.deliving and working in Leipzig, exhibiting during the Spinnerei Rundgang, as well as in other European cities including Stuttgart, Dresden, Strasbourg, Paris, and New York City. Today Leipzig is known as a place where the theory and practice of the contemporary visual art, artists, curators, gallerists, critics, collectors and many interested interlace on a high level and influence on creation of new art directions. Participation of the Croatian artists in the international project in Leipzig is very important act of promotion of Croatian art scene but also its cultural consciousness in general. For the occasion of German Reunification Day, October 3rd, and to celebrate Croatia’s entrance into the EU, One-sided Story and the HDLU have also invited special guest artists from Leipzig to exhibit in the HDLU Ring Gallery. All Leipzig artists will be present at the opening. This exhibition has been made possible by the Ministry of the Culture of the Republic of Croatia, the Goethe Institute Zagreb, FDDK e.V., and Ford Motor Vehicles.
