Location: Cultural Institution Gallery Kula (Ulica kralja Tomislava 10)

Dates: March 10, 2026 – April 30, 2026

The exhibition at Gallery Kula presents a work by Oscar Tuazon – a construction that functions simultaneously as sculpture and architecture. It is a temporary structure that explores the relationship between shelter and the space that shapes us. Installed within the historic stone walls of the Kula tower, the installation creates a “space within a space,” emphasizing the encounter between a transient artwork and permanent architecture.

Tuazon works with raw materials such as wood, steel, and concrete, leaving joints and structural elements deliberately visible. By moving around the work, visitors become aware of their own bodies and their relationship to space, while the sense of security that architecture usually provides is both offered and questioned.

The artist’s work is also shaped by his experience of living in the Pacific Northwest and his contact with Indigenous cultures, where building is closely connected to community, environment, and collective action. In this context, Tuazon’s installation in Kula raises questions about space, community, permanence, and transience, inviting visitors to experience space not simply as an object, but as something continually in the process of becoming.

Oscar Tuazon is an artist based in Los Angeles. He is currently the director of Cedar Spring Water School in the Great Basin region of Nevada, a long-term Land Back initiative project developed in collaboration with the Goshute Tribe.

Tuazon studied at The Cooper Union and in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program in New York. He co-founded the Center for Urban Pedagogy (CUP) in New York in 2000, castillo/corrales in Paris in 2007, and the Los Angeles Water School (LAWS) in Los Angeles in 2016.

His work has been included in exhibitions such as the São Paulo Biennial, Chicago Architecture Biennial, Whitney Biennial, Venice Biennale, and Skulptur Münster. He has held solo exhibitions at institutions including the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, Le Consortium in Dijon, the Ludwig Museum in Cologne, Bergen Kunsthall in Norway, Kunsthalle Bielefeld in Germany, and Kunst Museum Winterthur in Switzerland. In 2025, Tuazon completed a major public artwork for the City of Seattle.
