SUPERTURIST

Izložba /Superturist/ predstavlja proces i rezultate dvotjedne studentske razmjene između Akademije likovnih umjetnosti u Zagrebu i London Metropolitan Universityja iz Londona. Sedam studenata ALU boravili su tjedan dana u Londonu, nakon čega su sedam studenata LMU-a posjetili Zagreb.
Tijekom boravka na partnerskim akademijama, studenti su organizirali prezentacije svojih radova, posjećivali muzeje i galerije, te se uključivali u nastavu akademije domaćina.
Sastavni dio projekta bila su i vodstva/šetnje koje su studenti priredili jedni drugima po njima poznatom, ondnosno nepoznatom teritoriju (vodstva po gradu u kojemu žive ali i onome kojega posjećuju). Na taj način artikulirane su i moguće teme same razmjene poput turizma, prijevoda, ‘drugog’, domaćina/stranca.
Projekt je također uključivao i ‘predprogram’ u kojem su studenti jedni drugima pripremili svojevrsne ‘pakete’ koji su sadržavali slike, ilustracije, tekstove, citate, crteže, i koje su jedni drugima slali poštom prije samog susreta.
Teme projekta nisu bile zadane, iako su studenti kao polazište imali određene tekstove, kao i skup pojmova poput: jezik, prijevod, turizam, nomadizam, putovanje, spektakl, drugi i drugost, dislokacija, avantura.

Studentska razmjena i izložba /Superturist/ nastavak je suradnje koja je započeta 2005. godine, s ciljem razvijanja u dugoročni projekt razmjene između dviju akademija.

Koordinatori i mentori projekta su Ben Cain i Nicole Hewitt.

SUPERTOURIST

The exhibition presents the process and outcomes of a two-week student exchange project between London Metropolitan University and Zagreb Academy of Fine Arts. There were fourteen students taking part, seven from each University.
During the first week, students from Zagreb visited London, and in the second week the students from London came to Zagreb. During this time, besides attending presentations of each others work and being introduced to various galleries and museums, the students have participated in the ongoing programmes of the host universities.

The project has included students giving guided tours/walks (both of their home town, and the town they visit) for their visiting peers. This is a way of making the possible thematics of such an exchange manifest and articulated – i.e. tourism, translation, the ‘other’, outsider/insider.
In addition, the project has also included each group of students preparing packs of written material, images, articles, quotes, sketches, etc. that have informed their own practice. These packs of information were then sent by post to the other side prior to the visits.
The themes of the project are not specifically set, although students have been given specific texts, and have been offered the following as areas for reflection: language, translation, tourism, nomadism, travel, spectacle, other and othering, dislocation, adventure.

This is the second of what is conceived to develop into a series of ongoing exchange projects between the two Universities.

Project supervisors and coordinators: Ben Cain and Nicole Hewitt.
