Roca Croatia Workshop
Freshly returned from Latvia, the artist attends Zagreb ExTempore 2018 where her ceramic and sound installation receives the Award of Excellence. On September 10th, the festival schedules Asan’s lecture and film screening at the Center for Culture and Information Maksimir in Zagreb and on the 7th she participates, among other European and Asian artists, to a workshop at the sanitary factory ROCA Croatia, in Zapresic. During one morning of intense work they have to face the challenge of transforming the products of the factory (sinks, toilet bowls, bathtubs) into sculptures.
Ana Maria Asan’s works-in-progress The Warrior and E la nave va (title inspired by Fellini’s film) enter both Hanibal Salvaro’s art collection. The artist takes this occasion to thank him as the organizer of the event and the ROCA team for giving her the opportunity to work with porcelain in the specific context of industrial manufacturing.
