Brilliant Selfportrait
Žarko Paić Transmutations of an Artistic Event Titled “The Brilliant Self-Portrait of DM” Within the contemporary ontology of the technosphere that I have developed through my philosophical research, the question of so-called human identity arises not from the autonomous logic of the so-called man and his phantasmatic world of dominion over other creatures in the…

The Ultimate Environment, 2026
On this occasion, Kula Gallery presents a work by Oscar Tuazon, a structure that can be described equally as sculpture and as architecture, though this duality is far more than a formal conceit. What we encounter is a structure poised between the load-bearing and the fragile, between shelter and gesture, between the space we inhabit…

SANSU
Cultural Topography of Pigment A sense of being “in between” seems always to lie at the heart of Jongsuk Yoon’s painting oeuvre – between two cultures, two traditions, or two different approaches to pictorial meaning. Born in South Korea, and working in Germany for almost three decades, she has developed a visual language shaped by…

Untitled 2025
»On the subsequently constructed but stationary wall of Kula Gallery, a seemingly simple sentence offers visitors an explanation of the performance: “As part of the ‘Untitled 2025’ project at Kula Gallery in Split, the performer calculates his position within the gallery – without using electronic devices – based on the temperature in Split, the presence…

Since the beginning of the eighties, the elite of the super-rich have been dreaming of colonizing outer space as a classist solution for surviving Earth’s ecological destruction. Visionary projects such as Biosphere 2 — a geodesic construction influenced by Buckminster Fuller’s architectural structures, containing seven artificial replicas of the world’s main biomes — were built…

Essentially, the work features breath marks on a glass surface that gradually fade away – a poignant reminder of the transience and ephemerality of human presence.…

The Emperor’s Dreamhouse
OBJECTS AND THINGS To Lana It is believed that Jacob Spon, a physician, archaeologist, travel writer, and one of the first researchers of Diocletian’s Palace in Split, introduced the term “archaeology” in its modern sense. Archaeology as a discipline seeks to reconstruct and interpret the lives and cultures of ancient civilizations through systematic excavations or…

BREACH OF DECOR
When examining the visual representation of the city of Split and the modern promotional and propaganda materials associated with it, it becomes apparent that everything is oriented towards presenting the city as a male-centric environment. For example, the rivalry between the Roman Emperor Diocletian and the Salona martyr Domnius is prominently featured throughout the city,…

FADENSONNEN
Shadows of the Sun While most cultural institutions in the post-pandemic period have sought to re-establish their usual operational dynamics, the Kula Gallery – a decades-long family project now under the inspired leadership of Duje Mrduljaš – has systematically expanded its activities by organising exhibitions featuring international art stars. Thanks to its historical aura and…

PLAYING A ROLE
Utilizing the techniques of bricolage, improvisation and repurposing, his works deal with the notion of artistic ecologies, utopia and speculative histories. By intervening on found objects such as old postcards and documentary photographs, mostly found on flea markets or rescued from garbage, Marko Tadić’s works give form to open fictional narratives focused on various interpretations. He often uses…
