doc. art. Iva Ćurić

She was born in 1984 in Zagreb. She graduated in 2010 from the Academy of Fine Arts, Department of Graphic Arts, in the class of prof. art. Ines Krasić. In her artistic practice, she deals with the transdisciplinary field in which she explores phenomena related to the concepts of illusion and reality, space and liminality. She performs works in various techniques and media, which in the broadest framework includes the media of graphics and spatial installations. She has exhibited her works independently and collectively at numerous exhibitions and festivals in the country and abroad. She is employed at the Department of Education, as an assistant professor where she teaches graphics. Through teaching and professional practice, she collaborates with experts from various scientific fields. She is a student of the postgraduate doctoral study of Fine Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts, University of Zagreb.

In her artistic work, she explores the spatial behavior of information with a special emphasis on depopulated areas. She analyzes the relationships between physical and virtual spaces, exploring how contemporary media and tools affect the perception of empty spaces, especially in the zones of liminality, with an emphasis on the dynamics between the past and the future. Her works are performed in various techniques and media, including graphics, drawing, and video, which she most often shapes into spatial installation formats.

As part of the courses in the field of printmaking, practical classes are carried out aimed at developing practice and ideas within the technological possibilities of different graphic techniques, which enables experimentation and innovation in the teaching process. The courses offer intermedia, experimental and research forms of artistic expression and independent research within the context of contemporary printmaking.
