Thanks to the efforts of curator Branko Franceschi, the recently renovated Sala Tiziano will be hosting the Croatia National Pavilion for the Venice Biennale. Artist Kata Mijatovic has successfully created an open global online archive that is constantly being enriched with information obtained from her facebook profile Arhiv Snova.
Dream Archive is a social sculpture representing the fulcrum of her artistic vision which makes its way around the area of social conscience. This interactive archive will be presented at the Pavilion in the form of a steel cage suspended in mid-air that will later be opened to the public for them to explore.
Moreover, a dynamic multimedia compendium of works by Kata Mijatovic rotating around the theme of dreams will be projected on monitors surrounding the central installation.
