Useless, Leisure and apple

Siniša Labrović /1965/ was not originally trained as a visual artist; he took a degree in croatian language and literature at the faculty of philosophy in Zagreb and took up an artistic career only later in 2000.
Labrović`s artistic practice, though romantic in a way, however, often discomforts audiences especially by their unexpected involvement in his performances or by introduction of issues, which are either a poignant reminder of croatian past or its current status quo.
Labrović has participated in many shows and events home and abroad. in 2009 at the 11th Istanbul biennial he presented the work (book) „lisansustu egitim/postagraduate education. in 2012 he represented Croatia at the 13th Venice architecture biennale, titled Common Ground, together with Pula Group, Hrvoslava Brkušić, Igor Bezinović and Boris Cvjetanović.

Cyberfeminism grants emancipatory power to modern technology, but only as long as all people can access it, regardless of their class status, religious beliefs, cultural identifications, sexual orientation and/or gender.
