_EXPLANATION_
Urban Festival (UF) was founded in 2001 by gathering international and
Croatian artists working with diverse art forms (performance, visual and
sound installations, dance, urban interventions,  web projects, etc.)
with basic tendency to "infiltrate" art in urban life, to change urban
landscape and human behavior patterns in it by using urban
infrastructure - streets, squares, buildings, shopping malls, the
traffic network.  During four years of its existence, UF has focused on
concrete issues concerning particular public places, and, simultaneously
raising general matters on public, publicity and public space. After
working on different levels, using various methods and including diverse
specific themes, this year we have decided to conclude one part of this
"research" and to direct program towards the articulation of a clearly
visible need: pointing out new possibilities of urban and culture
development throughout reanimation of unexploited, vacant spaces and
their transformation in dynamic urban zones - by using cultural events
as catalyst for possible changes. According to that, UF 2005 will be
part of the project "Invisible Zagreb", which is initiated by Platform
9.81 to experiment with innovative ways of culture programming and space
implication of culture, focusing mostly on larger ex-industrial and/or
ex-business spaces, such as factories, transportation points, storages,
etc., but also including other abandoned venues (like ex-cinemas and
similar smaller places). UF 2005 is going to be the central and largest
event in the serial of temporary inhabitations of those places that
will, by using space resources of unused or underused eastern, ex
industrial zone of City of Zagreb, put in the center of the public
interest of the city questions of transition and transformation of these
spaces, with the specific stress on their cultural usefulness. In two
festival weeks we will try to create new culture, art and entertainment
zone, new public gathering-place and space of new social attractions.
Through this specific form of "temporary colonization", we are going to
put clear and strong light on the need for creation of new model of
exploiting industrial architecture of Zagreb. We will try, out of almost
forgotten and in itself collapsed east "cityplex", to create a new
"cultureplex".

_OBJASNJENJE_
Urban Festival (UF) je osnovan 2001. godine okupljanjem medjunarodnih i
hrvatskih umjetnika razlicitih umjetnickih praksi (performans, vizualne
i zvucne instalacije, ples, urbane intervencije, web projekti itd.) s
onovnom tendencijom da "infiltrira" umjetnost u urbani zivot te da
koristenjem gradske infrastrukture (ulica, trgova, zgrada, shopping
centara, prometne i komunalne mreze...) promijeni urbani krajolik i
obrasce ljudskog ponasanja u njemu. Tijekom cetiri godine postojanja UF
se fokusirao na partikularitete pojedinih lokacija i, istovremeno, na
opca pitanja javnosti i javnog gradskog prostora. Nakon rada na
razlicitim nivoima, koristenja raznolikih metoda i propitivanja
specificnih tema, ove smo godine odlucili zakljuciti jedan dio
"istrazivanja" i usmjeriti program prema artikulaciji jasno uocljive
potrebe da se ukaze na nove mogucnosti urbanog i kulturnog razvoja kroz
reanimaciju podiskoristenih i praznih gradskih prostora, kroz njihovu
preobrazbu u dinamicne urbane zone - koristenjem kulturnih dogadjanja
kao katalizatora mogucih promjena. Stoga smo odlucili UF 2005 uciniti
dijelom projekta "Nevidljivi Zagreb", pokrenutog od strane Platforme
9.81 s ciljem iznalazenja inovativnih postupaka stvaranja kulturnih
programa i njihovih prostornih implementacija, fokusiravsi se uglavnom
na vece eks-industrijske i /ili eks-gospodarske prostore, kao sto su
tvornice, gradska transportna cvorista, skladista itd., ali i druge
napustene objekte (bivse kino dvorane i slicni manji prostori). UF 2005
ce biti sredisnje i najvece dogadjanje u nizu privremenih naseljenja tih
prostora koje  ce, koristenjem prostornih resursa podiskoristene i
neiskoristene istocne, eks-industrijske zagrebacke zone, smjestiti u
srediste javnog interesa pitanje tranzicije i preobrazbe tih prostora,
uz specifican naglasak na njihovu kulturalnu upotrebljivost. U dva
festivalska tjedna pokusat cemo stvoriti novu kulturnu, umjetnicku i
zabavisnu zonu, novo javno okupljaliste, prostor nove drustvene
interakcije. Kroz ovu specificnu formu "privremene kolonizacije", bacit
cemo jasno i jako svjetlo na potrebu za stvaranjem novog modela upotrebe
zagrebacke industrijske arhitekture. Pokusat cemo iz gotovo
zaboravljenog i u sebe urusenog istocnog "cityplexa" stvoriti novi
"cultureplex".
