The Checkpoint exhibition was presenting three curatorial concepts,
each exploring the art of the mid 90ies in Croatia, in the time of
transition and war. The exhibition was conceived during the
wartime and realised just after the war has officially ended.
The Exhibition was intending to show a brief moment of time/space,
on hold, between a massive wave of changes occurring in early and
mid 90ies.


The title of the project, Checkpoint had its impulse in the situation of
Croatian territory which was divided by many military checkpoints
which were limiting the movement of people and goods through the
country for a long time.
The catalogue holds three chapters, Interstice, Tetragramme and
Fragments, each responding to one exhibition segment and
presenting respectful artists, whos works were critical of the
political, social and cultural situation and the circumstances in the
country.

The exhibition was the second annual exhibition of the Soros Center
for Contemporary Art – Zagreb.
The curators of the exhibition Darko Šimičić, Jadranka
Vinterhalter and Janka Vukmir
were on the staff of the SCCA –
Zagreb, now the Institute of Contemporary Art.
