HDLU Osijek sixth consecutive year organized a group exhibition titled Powder keg (Bure baruta). The exhibition is aimed at young, unestablished artists who are selected through a competition. The three artists represents the independent and separate (three) artistic concepts which focus remains solely on artists no matter what they gathered under an inclusive exhibition. Exhibition purpose is to point out the existence of young, high-quality and educated artists outside the established cultural and artistic scene and serves as a platform for informing the public and the profession by their work and activities. 

Mia Stark - “Traces of movement - visualization and processuality” 

Graduation project Traces of movement combines two forms of artistic expression - dance and visual arts. Drawings and prints done in vernis mou technique are a product of spiritual and physical movement. In a meditative state dance moves leaves a trace on the surface. Drawings and prints are only one segment of the artistic work, it begins within a deep meditation, and to the final product comes a combination of dance and drawing. The movement, as something transient, is documented and its mark is permanent.

This year I had the opportunity to meet Richard Allsopp, co-founder and co-editor of the journal Perfromance Research. It was a delight to learn from him, and to listen to his lectures about performative writing.

Richard also honored me with a text he wrote about my print “Move Soft”.
