For me, after the initial exhibition online, it is a pleasure to see the artworks moving from the 'virtual' gallery into the physical

THE MEDIA FACADE

The past year saw a range of curatorial activities that I am finally getting around to document and share online. This was an exciting project in itself because of its curatorial structure and challenges. There were two exhibition programs running on the Media Facade of the Museum of Contemporary Art Zagreb.
