ARTISTS ABOUT THEIR CREATION TIRA:
Tira is a game about the curiosity of establishing new limits in your own world. It is drawing limits for the pleasure of breaking them.

Tira is sincerity, it is the complicity of the looks.

Tira is transformation, a string becomes everything: the kiss of the grandmother you hated so much when you were little, the caress of someone who is no longer there, the realisation that you are not the woman they expected you to be, but in the end it’s not so bad…

ARTISTS AND THEIR BIOGRAPHY:
Maci got to know the circus at the age of 23. She discovered it, saw it and fell in love with it. She attended the circus school Vertigo in Turin and later she simultaneously studied at Le Lido, a circus school in Toulouse and at the Jean Jaurès University. In 2022/2023 he worked on the creation of the 27th Circ d’Hivern, “fam” of the Ateneu de Nou Barris (Barcelona).

Since she was a child, Carla has been attracted to the arts. She is born in Valladolid, Spain. She studied at the University of Fine Arts in Salamanca. Later she enrolled in the circus school Le Lido, motivated by juggling and the body as a tool for emotional language. Carla developed her work in Olot (Spain) with Iris Ziordia, known for her innovative approach to juggling and emotion.

La Barque Acide is a company born in 2018 in Toulouse, with. 9 artists the 25th promotion of Lido. The company made its debut at La Grainerie in 2021 with the show “The end is Nigh”.

“In this workshop I’ll pass on some key elements that I have discovered myself and learnt along the way of my fourteen years of aerial practice that you can implement into your everyday training. This workshop will specialise in delivering technical understanding for vertical aerials, therefore — this workshop is ideal for anyone looking to improve on rope and silk.

I will share combinations and transition as well as key conditioning techniques that can unfold into creative pathways that will aim to achieve a fluid and dynamic skillset through movement efficiency. This workshop is aimed at people with a basic knowledge of vertical apparatus. Ability to invert in mid-air is required.” — Georgina Cassels

Slobodne veze/ Loose Associations and their associates have been dealing with issues of critical reevaluation and preservation of the modernist architectural heritage of the second half of the 20th century through the activities of the MOTEL TROGIR project. The project consists of many activities and has developed a specific methodology which can be described as a combination of civic activism and scientific, publishing and educational work, including curating and producing contemporary art projects.

At the beginning of 2020, Slobodne veze were invited to (co)curate the international contemporary art biennial in Dresden OSTRALE O21: BREATHTURN. A large international exhibition took place in one of the neglected modernist buildings in the center of Dresden — the former workers’ canteen of the ROBOTRON factory, an important city point from the GDR period. The exhibition brought together over 130 artists from all over the world, and the biennale then had iterations in the Budapest Art Quarter (aqb) and in Kaunas (Kaunas 2022 European Capital of Culture ). Modernist architecture and reflections about its future (and creative reuse) is the red line that connects Dresden, Budapest, Kaunas and Split.

The meeting of the partners of the FLOWING CONNECTIONS project in Split is conceived as a sort of recapitulation of three years of cooperation, but also as a public platform for discussing common topics. In addition to the above-mentioned events, which are open to the public, an artistic residency of the KOLXOZ Colletive (Prague, Chisinau, Tiraspol) is organized, as well as a series of internal meetings, tours and networking with actors of the local cultural scene. Kaunas 2022, this year’s European Capital of Culture, is one of the project partners that, with its focus on the interwar modernism of the city, through the program line MODERNISM FOR THE FUTURE, opens up a number of interesting topics. With a number of experts, an interdisciplinary project has been developed to nominate modernist districts of Kaunas for UNESCO’s list of world cultural heritage. The lecture of Professor Marija Dremaita from the University of Vilnius will present the “phenomenon of the city of Kaunas” and its influence on the modernism of the middle and second half of the 20th century in Lithuania, touching on the “controversial” Soviet modernist legacy. The lecture is at the same time a link to the penultimate stop of the FLOC project and a contribution to bringing together geographically distant areas with similar preoccupations regarding the protection of modernist architectural and other cultural heritage.

FLOWING CONNECTIONS (FLOC) is a three-year international collaborative project supported by the European Union through the Creative Europe program. The project is co-financed by the Kultura nova Foundation, the Ministry of Culture and Media of the Republic of Croatia and the City of Split.

The conceptual backbone of all these events is experimentation with sound.

The festival begins with a collaboration with Platformat, a festival for independent culture, organized by the Platforma Doma mladih (Youth Center Platform). These two festivals together have invited the House of Extreme Music Theater by DB Indoš to the underground club Kocka, and this time with the participation of the legendary band Trobecove krušne peći. KUŽNI IFRIT is a cosmophonic performance that emerged from joint work for remote performances of DEMONI KUGE, and premiered in early 2022 in the Great Hall of Pogon Jedinstvo in Zagreb.
The unique feature of this year’s ISPOD BINE festival is that it will present local, Split artists of different generations and artistic expressions. Each of them premieres a new creative work created exclusively for the ISPOD BINE festival. On October 13 from noon to 3pm, the festival events spread throughout the city of Split, using a moving audio installation by the legends of the Split art scene, Milan Brkić and Rino Efendić.

On Friday, October 14, Gordan Tudor, a saxophonist from Split with an international career, will perform his Soliloquy at Beton Kino, and on Saturday, October 15, Toni Mijač, an artist of the younger generation, will open his multimedia exhibition “Turn into an ear” in the MKC Gallery. At the very closing of the festival, October 23, we present another legend of Split’s independent scene, Hrvoje Cokarić (c_bastard), who will give us his sound performance “armageddon torch” in Kocka.

In addition to the forces of Split, which the festival continuously supports and promotes, and encourages them to experiment with sound outside of their native artistic media, this year ISPOD BINE presents the work of Miodrag Gladović, an electrical engineer, musician, and multimedia artist, who is extremely active on the contemporary art scene. either as a member of the artistic duo Lightune.G with Bojan Gagić, or independently. With his work, engineering knowledge, and exceptional creativity, he continuously contributes to the innovation of the projects in which he participates. The combination of a punk approach and DIY ethics, two decades of musical experience in stylistically different bands and projects, incorporation and use of new technologies in artistic work, and sensibility for contemporary music and art — these are all reasons why Gladović has become one of the most prominent names of the contemporary scene, primarily experimental and improvisational music, and in Split, he will hold a lecture about his work and perform his audiovisual performance “Packmess”.

So that this year’s festival does not go without international guest appearances by established sound artists, this year we present Manja Ristić, an internationally active artist who, since her institutional training as a violinist, is now very active in the improv and experimental music scene, and is represented by the audiovisual installation “Good Water” which will be opened in the Kocka Gallery on October 21, followed by Igor Stanglitzki’s impro soundscape journey.

Finally, the festival brings musician Amy Denio from Seattle, who is best known as a saxophonist in the band Kultur Shock. This versatile artist, in addition to playing several instruments and permanently engaging in pedagogical work, also performing vocal improvisations, will be in Split on Sunday, October 23, to do a vocal improv workshop for the public, and after that a solo performance in which she will immediately incorporate recordings of vocal improvisations with the participants of the workshop.

The sound art festival ISPOD BINE was founded and led by Natasha Kadin and Hrvoje Pelicarić since 2016, it is organized by the Mavena association, and this year it is held in partnership with the Multimedia Cultural Center Split, the Youth Center Platform, the Coalition of Youth Associations and with the financial support of the City of Split and the Ministry of culture and media of the Republic of Croatia. The authors of the festival logo are Kazinoti&Komenda, this year’s visual identity was designed by Igor Stanglitzky, and the poster was screen-printed by Edi Matić, E.m.gra, while the animations were done by Tihana Mandušić.
