About

A Bubble is a Newspaper-Laboratory; a critical and exhibition space ‘on paper’ edited in Zagreb. It is the result of an European–Adriatic collaboration between Organizam (an informal alliance which for now gathers associations UBU, Sintoment, creative team Babushke and architecture studio
Nonfunctional Bridge) from Zagreb and the Italian art critics and curators Alessio Fransoni and Ilari Valbonesi.

A(driatic) Bubble is dedicated to locations, authors and projects which significantly define a new geopolitics of Art. A Bubble wants to support the idea that the European-Adriatic region has to integrate to the economic and democratic system of the eu with an art project-oriented attitude that goes beyond the localism/globalism paradigm. The Adriatic Sea perspective is seen as the metaphor of any way of thinking that puts its foundation on the border between things.

According to these purposes we started this newspaper project concentrating on recent events and places of high symbolic content, which constitute a first platform for the discussion of this new sense that we can find in the Adriatic axis.

In this light, we focus on selected works and artists shown at The 54th International Art Exhibition, La Biennale of Venice, through the second edition of the Sounds Like Venice project (Radio); then, the City of Zagreb with its new ferment and political change marked by Croatia becoming the EU’s 28th member state and finally, the Demanio Marittimo km.278
art project by the sea in Marzocca, Senigallia (Italy).

The newspaper, like the radio, Venice or like the beach, is a place of thoughts and conversations, arrivals and departures. It is a crossroads of the imaginary place, like a border in itself, which opens up the sea to us as a “region of possibilities”: It embodies the stories of the collective journey and the landscape of transformation.
