ŽELJKO BELJIAN & IVA JURIĆ - Playable Art & Artistic Games - Football Historians & Sport Installations - Manifesto - Zagreb - [ CROATIA ]

The Croatian artist duo BENJAMIN BELJIAN, better known as ŽELJKO, and IVA JURIĆ create fantastic objects that are, on the one hand, creative works of art with which one can interact. At the same time, they are also games that are meant to be played and are considered creative artwork. In other words, playable art or artistic games. The duo is deeply rooted in Zagreb’s local soccer scene and they have published several comprehensive books, research studies, and historical interviews. Additionally, through their projects, they not only seek to breathe new life into discarded items through upcycling but also revitalize abandoned sports facilities and playgrounds with new equipment or soccer goal nets. We met the two in Sarajevo during preparations for their exhibition at the Manifesto Galeria and spoke with them in an interview about their art, the ideas behind their interesting ventures, and their planned association. The audio is online, but a comprehensive page will be available soon at vagabundler.com/artisani.
