Marko Tadić's FungaRobo exhibition at Trotoar Gallery explores urban futures through artistic ecologies
FungaRobo, a solo exhibition featuring the work of Marko Tadić, is currently on display at Trotoar Gallery in Zagreb for an undetermined duration. Tadić, who was born in 1979 in Sisak and now resides in Zagreb, constructs an imaginative city through collage, drawing, animation, and sculpture, reinterpreting modernist archival images from Zagreb in the 1950s and 1960s. The exhibition showcases mycelium-inspired figures that imply a reconfiguration of space. Curator Marco Scotini emphasizes Tadić's ability to transform objects into innovative forms. The artist explores themes related to post-socialist urban environments and ecological crises. Tadić completed his painting degree at Florence's Accademia di Belle Arti in 2006 and has participated in international exhibitions, including the 57th Venice Biennale. He also teaches at NABA in Milan and Zagreb's Academy of Fine Arts, with his works included in numerous collections.
