Contemporary Art Exhibit on Lopud Island

The Art Pavilion is traveling to the island of Lopud, Croatia - just a few sea miles away from the UNESCO world heritage city of Dubrovnik. This distinctive location allows the artist and architect to test the conceptual nature of the project: to develop art and the spaces for art with respect for the site they inhabit. Embedded in an historic context, Lopud’s rich Renaissance heritage and lively tourist development, the pavilion is a model for art destination travel and contemporary interventions. The challenge is to make a portable and temporary museum, which sits comfortably in its surrounding natural site.

The exhibit opens on June 20 and runs through the end of October.
