Abstract: This paper presents a study of an artistic and cultural event, the project Murtić 100, marking the centenary of the birth of one of the most significant abstract painters of the re-gional and international visual arts scene – Edo Murtić. The study shows to which extent rep-resentative exhibitions and cultural events strengthen art and visual culture through in/formal education. The main instrument of the study was a survey examining who constitutes today’s audiences, how much they are educated in the field of fine and visual arts and how they un-derstand the concept of abstract painting and the role of a visual artist as a pedagogue in the system of museological and gallery practice. The study is divided into two segments. The first segment pertains to the research conducted in Zagreb during the project Murtić 100, which was held in the course of May and June 2021 in several prominent exhibition spaces (the Meštrović Pavilion, the Lauba Gallery, the Department of Prints and Drawings, the Academy of Fine Arts of the University of Zagreb, the symposium Gesture and Freedom, etc.), and it shows the effect of the topic of abstract painting on the audience. The second segment of the study will be implemented in Belgrade in 2023, when the project Murtić 100 moves to the Museum of Contemporary Art. Apstrakt: U radu je predstavljeno istraživanje o umetničkom kulturnom događaju, projektu Murtić 100 kojim je obeležen jubilej stogodišnjice rođenja jednog od najznačajnijih slikara ap-strakcije regiona i međunarodne likovne scene, Ede Murtića. Istraživanje prikazuje u kojoj meri reprezentativne izložbe i kulturni događaji podstiču osnaživanje likovne i vizuelne kulture kroz in/formalno obrazovanje. Glavni instrument istraživanja bila je anketa koja je ispitivala ko je sadašnja publika, kakvo je njeno obrazovanje iz likovnih i vizuelnih umetnosti, razumevanje pojma apstraktnog slikarstva i uloge likovnog umetnika kao pedagoga u sistemu muzeološke i galerijske prakse. Istraživanje je podeljeno u dva segmenta. Prvi istraživački deo je obavljen u Zagrebu, za vreme dešavanja projekta Murtić 100 koji se održavao tokom maja i juna 2021. godine na nekoliko najznačajnijih izložbenih prostora (Meštrovićev paviljon, Lauba, Kabinet za grafiku, Akademija likovnih umjetnosti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu, simpozijum Gesta i sloboda i dr.) i prikazuje efekte teme apstraktnog slikarstva na publiku. Drugi deo istraživanja će se realizo-vati u Beogradu 2023. godine kada se projekat Murtić 100 seli u Muzej savremene umetnosti. srp Keywords: abstract painting, museological and gallery practice, audience, artist-pedagogue Ključne reči: apstraktno slikarstvo, muzeološka i galerijska praksa, publika, umetnik-pedagog. application/pdf 3869602 bytes All rights reserved https://phaidrabg.bg.ac.rs/o:30846 cobiss:108639241 info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceProceedings Perspective of art education - reflections and outcomes : thematic proceedings Perspektive umetničkog obrazovanja - refleksije i ishodi 2022 Bosnar, Maja Refleksije o in/formalnom obrazovanju - Javni čas apstrakcije
