Multimedia presentations

• Video material The Ivan Mestrovic Foundation-The Mestrovic Atelier
  Zagreb, the Bogdan Ogrizovic library and reading room, April-November 2002
  Within the joint educational museum action of the Zagreb museums (18th April-18th May 2002), a multimedia event (comprising an exhibition, video screenings and fine arts workshops) called From Home to Museum was organized, aiming to give a comprehensive presentation of the Mestrovic Atelier. A special feature of the action was an unorthodox stepping out of the museum building through the video material The Ivan Mestrovic Foundation-The Mestrovic Atelier, consisting of seven video-clips of an average length of 30 seconds to 1 minute shown on a TV monitor in the window of the Bogdan Ogrizovic library and reading room (Zagreb, Preradoviceva 5) every six minutes between 4 p.m. and 11 p.m. daily, throughout the entire duration of the action. The visualization proved to be very efficient in promoting the Mestrovic Atelier and helpful to its public relations, so the screenings of the clips continued even after the end of the House action, namely until the end of November 2002, i.e. they were screened for eight months in total. The video was made by a group of authors: the TV and film cameraman Vladimir Petek, the journalist Nada First, the senior curator of the Ivan Mestrovic Foundation Danica Plazibat. Publisher: Ivan Mestrovic Foundation
