MMK16 invites artist, activists, environmentalists, common-ists and survivalists to gather around the theme “Future Environments”.

MMK16 hosts three artist in residence project with the theme sound and environment.

Gijs Borstlap is coming from Amsterdam and staying for one month at C4CS in Rasoja, camping in the wild. His primary concern is to research his inner world trough an experiment: by putting himself deliberately into sort of escapist and survivalist situation, distancing himself from the city. he is sound engineer and his primary interests are to observe sounds and its connections to everyday environment.

Tin Dožić is coming for only a week residency to Culture House Lovinac for the purpose to further develop a work on 16 channels sound installation.

Building @ MMK15

For the Tiny House we decided to use a truck wheels as it allows us to carry more weight. As the size of the house is 9 by 3 meters we opted for solid and good support next to the wheels when the house is not moving.

House is all made with wood that is only treated against worms. It will be insulated with non washed, borax treated sheep wool that will be fitted in-between the construction.

During the 23rd to 29th of july when artists are visiting, unfinished side of the house will be used as the projection screen.
