On May 11, the opening of the series of exhibitions called "Perspectives" is announced in the curatorial engagement Dalibor Prancevic, which will include interventions in the space by four visual artists from Split - Vedrana Perkova, Viktor Popović, Neli Ruzic i Loren Živković Kuljiš. The building of the Croatian Home in Split is an undisputed architectural masterpiece of Kamil Tončić (1878 – 1961), an architect and cultural worker who greatly owed the city of Split to numerous types of his own involvement. At the dawn of the twentieth century, Tončić strongly provoked the citizens of Split with his architectural lexicon of Art Nouveau stylistic provenance - which in critical newspaper articles was at first suspiciously described as a determinant of modernity. After a long period of various functions throughout the past century and finally a thorough renovation throughout the current century, the building was reopened with programming activities with a strong emphasis on music production and performance. However, with its special appearance, the building has also become a desirable venue for visual arts events. It is significant that the Croatian House was actually inaugurated in 1908 with the First Dalmatian Art Exhibition, so historical strongholds with visual articulations in its space are justified and desirable, the curator explained to us Dalibor Prancevic.
