Conservation-restoration of ceramic pottery from underwater archeological site Letavica on Pag
No full textU ovom će diplomskom radu biti prikazani i opisani konzervatorsko-restauratorski radovi obavljeni na keramičkim predmetima koji su pronađeni na otoku Pagu, nedaleko od rta Letavica. Jadransko more obiluje arheološkim nalazištima. Velika količina njih datira u vrijeme antike pošto su stari Grci i Rimljani kolonizirali to područje. Lokalitet Letavica je pronađen tek nedavno, 2018. godine, ali su arheološka istraživanja tog antičkog brodoloma počela vrlo brzo. Otkriveno je 400-tinjak amfora, olovna prečka sidra broda, a otvaranjem sonde u morskom mulju izronilo je 30-ak predmeta koji pripadaju kuhinjskom posuđu. Ti su predmeti poslani u konzervatorsko-restauratorsku radionicu kako bi se spriječila njihova daljnja degradacija. Ondje su bili podloženi brojnim restauratorskim procesima poput desalinizacije, mehaničkog čišćenja, rekonstrukcije, konsolidacije itd. kako bi se stabilizirao materijal i spriječilo njegovo daljnje propadanje.This thesis will present and describe the conservation-restoration works carried out on ceramic objects that were found on the island of Pag, not far from cape Letavica. The Adriatic Sea abounds in archaeological sites. A large number of them date back to antiquity, when the ancient Greeks and Romans colonized the area. Letavica is no exception. The site was found only recently, in 2018, but the archaeological research of that ancient shipwreck began very quickly. About 400 amphorae, the lead crossbar of the ship's anchor, were discovered, and by opening the probe in the sea mud, about 30 objects belonging to kitchenware surfaced. These items were sent to the conservation and restoration workshop in order to prevent their further degradation. There, they were subjected to numerous restoration processes such as desalination, mechanical cleaning, reconstruction, consolidation, etc. in order to stabilize the material and prevent its further deterioration
Fragments of time: Between photography and painting
No full textOvaj rad realiziran je u obliku patchwork instalacije – pozadina je sastavljena od dvije vrste platna koje su šivanjem spajane i sugerira da rad nije dovršen, nego da se može nastaviti nadograđivati u beskonačnost. Ovaj rad proizlazi iz razmišljanja o konceptu vremena i njegovoj interakciji s našim sjećanjima na svakodnevne trenutke koji često izmiču našoj svijesti i ostaju nezapaženi. Autorica uspoređuje načine zadržavanja i čuvanja dragocjenih uspomena putem fotografija i postavlja pitanje o onim sporednim trenucima koji su prethodili tome, a često ostaju zanemareni u našem sjećanju. Kroz ovaj rad, autorica transformira te svakodnevne trenutke, te im dodjeljuje značaj koji obično pridajemo samo „velikim” životnim događajima. Koristeći tehniku transfera fotografije na tkaninu, autorica uspostavlja vezu između fotografije i slikarske prakse. U ovom radu, fotografije koje su prenesene na platno, paradoksalno pokušavaju „ imitirati” slikarstvo, stvarajući poveznicu između ta dva medija i njihovih uloga u povijesti umjetnosti.This work was realized in the form of a patchwork installation. The background of the installation is composed of two types of canvas sewn together, suggesting that the work is not finished and can be built upon indefinitely. The work stems from reflections on the concept of time and its interaction with our memories of everyday moments that often slip away from our consciousness, remaining unnoticed. The author compares ways of retaining and preserving precious memories through photographs and raises questions about those incidental moments that preceed them,- and that are often side-lined in our memory. Through this work, the author transforms these everyday moments. She attritbutes to them significance that we typically associate only with ‘major’ life events. By transferring photographs onto fabric, the author establishes a connection between photography and painting. In this work, the photographs transferred onto canvas paradoxically attempt to mimic painting, creating a link between the two media and their roles in the history of art
Collaboration between guitar players and composers
No full textU ovom se radu prezentira istraživanje najprije o gitari kao instrumentu s mnogo specifičnih karakteristika, a onda i o načinima na koje su neki povijesno bitni umjetnici rješavali probleme koje im je uzrokovala priroda gitare. Osim strogo glazbenih tema, ulazi se i u međuljudske odnose, ekonomske aspekte glazbe i ostale okolnosti koje su pridonijele nastanku važnog dijela repertoara klasične gitare dvadesetog stoljeća
Biography and works by Pavle Dešpalj, formal and performative analysis of his concerto for alto - saxophone and strings and arrangement of the first movement of the concerto for saxophone ensemble
No full textPavle Dešpalj bio je jedan od najzačajnijih i najnadarenijih hrvatskih dirigenata sa zavidnom karijerom u Hrvatskoj, SAD-u te Japanu. U svom relativno malom opusu saksofonistima je ostavio jedno od svojih najboljih djela, koje je ubrzo postiglo popularnost u cijelom svijetu – Koncert za alt – saksofon i gudače. U ovom radu iztražit ću život i karijeru Pavla Dešpalja i formalno- harmonijski i interpretativno analizirati djelo. Zadnji dio diplomskog rada posvećen je obradi prvog stavka koncerta za ansambl saksofona. Obradom koncerta proširuje se fond skladbi i povećava se koncertna mogućnost za ovaj specifičan sastav, u ovom slučaju septet s dva sopranska, dva altovska, dva tenorska i jedan baritonski saksofon, dok u pedagošku svrhu studenti i učenici mogu upoznati koncert i kao članovi orkestra, a ne samo kao solisti što produbljuje njihovo razumijevanje djela. Također, nudi se održiva alternativa izvođenju koncerta uz pratnju ansambla pogotovo uz rijetku dostupnost komornih orkestara za izvedbe.Pavle Dešpalj was one of the most significant and talented croatian conducters with an enviable career in Croatia, USA and Japan. In his relatively small opus, he left one of his best works to saxophonists, which quickly became very popular in the entire world – Concerto for alto – saxophone and strings. In this thesis I will explore the life and career of Pavle Dešpalj and analyze the concerto. The last part of the thesis is dedicated to an arrangement of the first movement for saxophone ensemble. By arranging the orchestral part, the repertoire of this very specific ensemble (in this case, two soprano saxophones, two alto saxophones, two tenor saxophones and one baritone saxophone) is expanded, while a pedagogic use of such an arrangement is for students and pupils to get to know the Concerto as players in the orchestra and not just as soloists which deepens their understanding of the piece. Also, it is a viable alternative of performing the Concerto especially since the opportunities of playing with a chamber orchestra are rare and hard to come by
Vox populi
No full textZavršni rad Vox populi problematizira globalnu ekološku krizu kao i manjak motivacije pojedinca da pokuša pokrenuti promjenu u svijetu. Figura žene alegorijski predstavlja planet Zemlju, umornu, nesigurnu i željnu pomoći. U ruci drži crnu zastavu koja simbolizira tugu radi vlastitog propadanja, ali i poziv na revolt protiv trenutnog stanja svijeta. Autorica temeljnu inspiraciju uzima iz radova Eugènea Delacroixa i Ljube Babića, a s teorijske strane se referira na ekozofiju Félixa Guattarija i teoriju moći Michela Foucaulta. Ovaj rad primarno teži naglasiti hitnost ekološke krize i osvijestiti ljude da mogu iskoristiti svoj glas kako bi doprinijeli stvaranju boljeg društva i bolje budućnosti.Undergraduate thesis Vox populi examines the global ecological crisis as well as the lack of one’s motivation to try to initiate change in the world. The figure of a woman allegorically represents the planet Earth, tired, insecure and desperate for help. She holds a black flag in her hand that symbolizes sadness for her own deterioration. This is also a call to action against the current state of the world. The author takes her primary inspiration from the works of Eugène Delacroix and Ljubo Babić. Theory-wise, she refers to Félix Guattari's ecosophy and Michel Foucault's theory of power. This work primarily seeks to address the urgency of the ecological crisis and to make people aware that they can use their voice to contribute to the creation of a better society and a better future

Moments
No full textRad Trenutci predstavlja umjetničku instalaciju koja se sastoji od 4000 kolor-fotografija dimenzija 3 x 3 cm, otisnutih na forexu debljine 3 milimetra izloženih u neurednoj hrpi na stolu. Svaka fotografija bilježi fragmente svakodnevnog života autorice i dvadeset drugih osoba, stvarajući vizualnu masu koja izaziva promatrača na interakciju i refleksiju. Kroz ovaj rad promatrač je suočen s velikim brojem fotografija i suočen je s nemogućnošću sagledavanja cjelokupnog djela u njegovoj potpunosti. Ova masivna količina slika stvara osjećaj preplavljenosti i nemoći, evocirajući Kantovu ideju uzvišenog - iskustvo koje nadmašuje granice ljudske percepcije i razumijevanja. Fotografije su postavljene u kaotičnu gomilu, što stvara prostor za beskonačne mogućnosti gledanja i interpretacije. Rad Trenutci također istražuje koncept akumulacije, gdje gomilanje tisuća fotografija koje prikazuju svakodnevne trenutke stvara osjećaj obilja. Ova akumulacija kritizira konzumerističku kulturu i preopterećenost informacijama, naglašavajući fragmentiranost svakodnevice koja postaje nemoguća za potpuno percepcijsko obuhvaćanje. Aproprijacija je još jedan ključan element rada. Autorica preuzima svakodnevne trenutke iz svog života i života drugih, te ih prezentira kao umjetnički rad. Ovaj proces sakupljanja i reaktivacije fragmentiranih trenutaka omogućava promatraču da preispita svoje vlastito iskustvo i odnos prema prolaznim trenucima, potičući ga da razmisli o onome što obično zanemaruje. Rad otvara nove mogućnosti za razumijevanje i interpretaciju svakodnevnog iskustva, naglašavajući uzvišeno u svakodnevnom, te problematizirajući načine na koje percipiramo i doživljavamo svijet oko sebe.Moments is an art installation consisting of 4000 color photographs, each measuring 3 x 3 cm, printed on 3mm thick forex and displayed in a disordered pile on a table. Each photograph captures fragments of everyday life from the artist and twenty other individuals, creating a visual mass that invites the viewer to interact and reflect. In this work, the viewer is confronted with a large number of photographs and faces the impossibility of perceiving the entire piece in its totality. This massive quantity of images creates a sense of being overwhelmed and powerless, evoking Kant's idea of the sublime—an experience that surpasses the limits of human perception and understanding. The photographs are arranged in a chaotic heap, creating space for infinite possibilities of viewing and interpretation. Moments also explores the concept of accumulation, where the piling up of thousands of photographs depicting everyday moments creates a sense of abundance. This accumulation critiques consumer culture and information overload, highlighting the fragmented nature of daily life, which becomes impossible to fully grasp. Appropriation is another key element of the work. The artist takes everyday moments from her life and the lives of others and presents them as an artistic endeavor. This process of collecting and reactivating fragmented moments allows the viewer to re-examine their own experiences and relationship to transient moments, encouraging reflection on what is usually overlooked. The work opens up new possibilities for understanding and interpreting everyday experiences, emphasizing the sublime in the mundane and problematizing the ways in which we perceive and experience the world around us
Gothic windows on residential architecture in Split
No full textU diplomskom radu obrađuje se tema gotički prozori na stambenoj arhitekturi u povijesnoj jezgri grada Splita. Dan je i kratak povijesni pregled grada te njegov srednjovjekovni razvoj. Iako su pojedini prozori do sada publicirani i obrađeni u sklopu istraživanja pojedinih građevina, velik broj njih nije nigdje dokumentiran. Ne postoji njihov katalog niti je na nivou grada istražena njihova tipologija. U ovom radu dokumentirani su gotovo svi gotički prozori na stambenoj arhitekturi grada Splita. Kataloški su obrađeni, čime je uključena fotodokumentacija, navođenje lokacije i katastarske čestice građevina te pozicije na kojoj se prozori nalaze na građevini, evidentiranje stanja prozora, navođenje bibliografije i detaljan opisa prozora. Metodom komparativne analize utvrđeni su tipovi prozora i tipološke karakteristike gotičkih prozora u Splitu te njihovih elemenata, njihove sličnosti i razlike. U rad je uključen i Pojmovnik koji sadrži brojne nazive i definicije arhitektonskih i dekorativnih elemenata koji se nalaze na prozorima.The thesis paper deals with the topic of Gothic windows in the historical centre of the city of Split. A brief historical overview of the city and its medieval development is also given. Even though some windows have been published and processed within the research of certain buildings, a large number of them have not been documented anywhere. A catalogue of them does not exist, nor has their typology been researched at the city level. In this paper, almost all Gothic windows in the residential architecture of the city of Split are documented. They have been catalogued, which includes photo documentation, indicating location and cadastral parcel of the building, as well as the position of the windows on the building, recording the condition of the windows, providing a bibliography and a detailed description of the windows. Using the method of comparative analysis, the types of windows and typological characteristics of Gothic windows in Split and their elements, their similarities, and differences were determined. The paper also includes a Glossary containing numerous names and definitions of architectural and decorative elements found on these windows
