Speaker: Alem Korkut
Alem Korkut is a sculpture artist as well as an associate professor at ALU in Zagreb.
Alem Korkut’s contemplation of sculpture stays within the spatial, tactile and material, all the way to the dematerialization of the sculpture. No matter what materials, genres and methods he uses, from the classical sculptural form (relief and three-dimensional sculpture), through video projections that he exhibits as independent works, to interactive objects with electronic components.
