Video and sound installation artist Toni Meštrović, a Roman J. Witt short term Visiting Artist-in-Residence at the Stamps School of Art & Design, will give a presentation on his work on Wednesday, September 23 at 2 p.m. in room 1258 of the Art & Architecture building (with support from the Arts Initiative Course Connections program).
Meštrović holds a degree in Graphic Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb, as well as a diploma in Media Art from the Academy of Media Arts, Cologne, and studied Video/Digital Imaging with Valie Export at the International Summer Academy for Contemporary Art in Salzburg. Video, sound, and audio-visual installations produced during Meštrović's postgraduate studies explore his personal perception of the sea and the island where he grew up. Recent projects involve transforming eccentric sites from tunnels in Croatia's capital to the space underneath a civic theater into instruments and sonic spaces. Meštrović lives in Rijeka and Kaštela, and is Professor at the Arts Academy University of Split in the Department of Film and Video.
