Initiated by Zagreb's UpArt project and the city-wide platform Artupunktur currently taking place across the capital, the Pupoljci art installation is promoting the planet-friendly concept of upcycling by transforming the Grič tunnel into a riot of colour and imagination.
The perfect showcase for UpArt, a creative collaboration that explores an ecological approach to art, Pupoljci has been fashioned from discarded plastic bags and tarpaulin, broken umbrellas and scraps of metal. The material was collated by leaving the minimal ecological footprint.
Several art collectives and organisations are coming together this autumn to position Zagreb as a creative centre and key player in the contemporary cultural scene in Central Europe. Artworks are being displayed in unusual urban spaces – the Grič tunnel beneath the Upper Town was used as a bomb shelter during World War II and a venue for raves in the early days of techno.
