Location: Gallery of Fine Arts

Time: January 26 - March 24, 2024


The exhibition of students' art interventions in the Museum of Fine Arts' collection display is the result of a collaborative project titled Disassemble, Assemble, Reassemble initiated between the Museum of Fine Arts, the Painting Department of the Arts Academy in Split and the Art History Department of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences in Split.

This years' second module in which the students worked with mentors and produced their first site-specific interventions has started in 2023 and has its final exhibition presentation on the occasion of the Night of Museums, January 26th, 2024. It is focused on the research and reinterpretation of part of the Museum of Fine Arts’ collection, as well as the museum space that displays artworks created in the period from the 14th c. through to the 1950s. The students of the Arts Academy were free to choose and react to individual works on display, as well as to the historical layers and character of the present-day exhibition halls, using them as an incentive for the production of their own works, and the entire process was accompanied by art history students with their interpretive texts. With such interventions, the very display of the collection acquired a completely new dynamic quality and revealed to the audience new possibilities of reading and understanding art and the museum itself, separate from the defined framework of the context of their creation and the conventional museum presentation, at the same time providing the students with the unique opportunity for creative learning different from the usual educational formats.
