Interview with Slaven Tolj about Art Workshop Lazareti in Dubrovnik May 2014
Slaven Tolj (born 1964) is a multimedia artist from Dubrovnik, Croatia. His artistic works incorporate themes and issues related to political transformation and the emergence of multiculturalism and globalization.
Besides his own artistic production Tolj is involved in organizational and curatorship activities. Among others he was the commissioner of the Croatian pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2005. In autumn 2012 he was appointed director of the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka.
In 1988 Tolj founded Art Radionica Lazareti in Dubrovnik (Art Workshop Lazareti) – an independent centre for contemporary art. ARL brings together artists, philosophers, writers and theoreticians, promoting an active and investigative approach to contemporary art and culture, society, politics and its inter-relations.
