Sažetak
The performance of Tomislav Gotovac “I love you Zagreb, ” performed at Zagreb’s Republic Square in 1981, signifies the commencement of using the artist’s body as both subject and object in the work of art in this region. After a period of exploring body art practices in the eighties and nineties, in Croatian contemporary art the relation towards the body started to be redefined both through interdisciplinary art practices as well as through research processes of artists themselves. This process corresponds to developments in world art, reinforcing radical body practices, as they can be found in the works of Orlan, Oleg Kulik or Ron Athey. Three artists’ works are particularly important for the following approachvto rethinking the body within contemporary theory: Maja Rozman, Marko Marković and Martina Mezak. The article will attempt to determine and explain the potential connectionbof awareness, interaction, initiation and body, as can be found in traditional and contemporary art in Croatia.
