This award has been given since 2002, when it was established by the Institute of Contemporary Art as part of the international network YVAA – Young Visual Artists Awards, which by now consists of organizers of similar awards 12 European countries.

 

The initiative to call it the Radoslav Putar Award reflects the desire of the Institute of Contemporary Art to promote clear attitudes, active participation and high professional standards, as tools for affirming democratic processes interdependent with the development of culture, cultural institutions and arts in Croatia.

 

Radoslav Putar (Varaždin, July 20, 1921 – Zagreb, July 18, 1994), a famous art historian and art critic, significantly directed the Croatian cultural scene towards the contemporary art language. His work is also important from a social point of view because he promoted the ideas of democracy and advocated dialogue, tolerance, freedom of expression and openness to other cultures. Today, it is difficult to imagine the extent to which his work was heroic, and we can confidently say that his contribution to theory and practice is a key segment of contemporary Croatian art and culture.

 

The Radoslav Putar Award consists of a two-month stay at the Residency Unlimited in New York; http://residencyunlimited.org/, in the term in agreement with RU; solo exhibition at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Zagreb during 2023; multi-original production in collaboration with Gallery S from Koprivnica, and a place in the jury of the Radoslav Putar Award 2023.
