Rijeka. Power of Dreams
United in Diversity
Delta Lab 001, Rijeka Croatia
29.11.2019 – 10.01.2020
Three artists from Aarhus (Else Ploug Isaksen, Bodil Sohn and Kim Grønborg) and three artists from Rijeka (Petra Mrša, Dalibor Laginja and Igor Eškinja) belong to different generations, work in different media and are characterized by different registers of imagination.
What brings them together in this exhibition is the theme of the relationship between man and nature and its environment.
During a two weeks-residency in Rijeka, November 2019, HUMAN SITES sohn+isaksen has created the exhibition Rijeka. Power of Dreams. Photographs of places where ‘someone has been and something has happened’ are displayed with selected objects to uncover hidden dreams and connections.
Organizer of the programme is the Royal Danish Embassy in Zagreb in collaboration with Rijeka 2020, Sweet & Salt and DeltaLab (University of Rijeka). The program is a part of the project Rijeka 2020 – European Capital of Culture.
