M1: Motherboard: Art Research on Urban Space and Territory
Branka Cvjetičanin
Abstract
Motherboard is an artistic research focused on the relation
between urban space and territory. It looks into global
geopolitical discourses, associated economic trends and
their relation to the new periphery. Initially, it is a story of
the US Embassy and its relocation from the Zagreb city
centre to Buzin city periphery. In the middle of agricultural
fields, there is today Thomas Jefferson Street and the area
transformed into a potent and penetrating international
corporation business zone. Militant architecture of the
US Embassy, security measures, traffic junctions, large
number of storage areas, and local residents who are
extensively trying to adapt to new economic circumstances
by selling their land, testify to the amended typology which
reveals strange symbiosis of those two parallel worlds.
