📷 Poetry Of Nature

Completely unexpected, a few days ago, at the beginning of this just passing week, I came across this unusual free and open "Poetry Of Nature" exhibition held in the courtyard of State Archives in Zagreb.

I went there to search for some old documents that I needed.
(And yes, of course, I found them. But, that's not the point.)

As I was at Zagreb's State Archive about ten days ago as well, when this old building at the Zagreb's Upper Town served as the perfect scene stage for filming the film by some abroad director, I noticed immediately that small change in the courtyard. Those sculptures and installations weren't here last time or at least I didn't notice them because of the movie scenes.

'Inner Mountain' made in stainless steel

The sculptures and installations are work of young Croatian artist Ida Blazicko (Ida Blažičko, born Zagreb, 1985) who took her MFA graduate degree in sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb.

At the China Academy of Art in Hangzhou, she also took a doctorate with a dissertation on "Sustainable Public Art: Re-creating Urban Environment".

Ida's sculptures of steel could be seen in public space - 'Wind' (Shanghai) and 'Wind II' (Hangzhou).

Another doctorate with dissertation "Biomimetics in the service of art" she took at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb. By now she has shown her work in more than thirty collective shows in Croatia and abroad.

Ida Blažičko is a member of Croatian Association of Artists (HDLU) and Croatian Freelance Artists Association (HZSU).

Through the following link, you may see more of her works, while this exhibition is open and free to see until October 31, 2017, at the courtyard of State Archives in Zagreb, Opatička 29.
