About the Panelists
Vjeran Pavlinić, a former film editor, trash drummer, and organiser of obscure concerts; today a film archivist dedicated to the restoration of Croatia’s film heritage.
Marko Zeman (born 1975, Zagreb, Croatia) is a visual artist working primarily in the medium of painting, but also in the media of drawing, collage, and posters. He is interested in the exploration of form and the painting process, instinctively using various materials in his works. He frequently depicts his immediate surroundings, his personal perception of everyday and ordinary motifs, doing so with a subtle dose of humour. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb in the class of Zlatko Keser, and graduated in 2010, under Zoltan Novak. He has been exhibiting his work continuously since 2008, and has held solo exhibitions at the Varaždin City Museum (2024), the Croatian Association of Artists’ Karas Gallery in Zagreb (2020), the Močvara club in Zagreb (2020), and the SC Gallery in Zagreb (2013), among others. He was an award winner at the 7th Biennial of Painting in 2024, and won the HPB (Croatian Postal Bank) purchase prize in 2009. His works belong to the collections of the Varaždin City Museum, the HPB, the Vatroslav Lisinski Concert Hall, the Erste Fragments in Zagreb, and private collections. In addition to his work as an artist, he is also engaged in design and pedagogical work. He currently teaches at the Academy of Fine Art in Zagreb, Croatia.
