Inauguration of the intervention on the Faculty of Philosophy building’s facade, University of Split, by academic artist Viktor Popović, "Untitled” (ST3 Archive: Contents), was held on Tuesday, January 19, and will remain there until February 1. Second part of the installation is set in the Kula Gallery, conceptually connecting two, seemingly separate, city units.

- This is an artistic provocation and I am glad that the University is spreading positive vibrations, particularly in the field of art. Our University is strong in the region, leading not only in the STEM field, but in also paying great attention to social and humanistic activities. This kind of artistic expression means a lot to our University. It is symbolic that this exhibition is realized at the moment when the University left the entire building to the Faculty of Philosophy, so that our professors and students could work in even better conditions. This work of art on the facade gives a new dimension, not only to the building, but also to what we want, and that is to be even better, present more quality and further education. We wish to nurture the philosophy of “universitas”. This term does not refer only to the university, but to the transfer of knowledge to students and the creation of new values working together - said Rector Ljutić, saying that there are positive indicators of realising cooperation between the University of Split and Humboldt University in Berlin.

Faculty of Philosophy’s Dean Vickov said that this installation is an actual revolutionary intervention, given the fact that it is projected on the building’s facade.
- The Faculty of Philosophy strives to act as a flagship of humanistic thought and action, so with this exhibition we wanted to show that we continue to act as an incubator of culture in this area. We have already set up exhibitions inside the building and in this context it is extremely important that after 15 years of the Faculty’s operation, we have the entire building in Poljička at our disposal, for which we are grateful to Rector Ljutić - said Dean Vickov. She pointed out how proud she was of the fact that Viktor Popović, academic artist and full professor at the Academy of Arts, is the author of the exhibition and its curator Assoc. Prof. Dalibor Prančević Ph.D. from the Faculty’s Department of Art History.

Viktor Popović said that, with sentences written on the Faculty of Philosophy’s facade, he wanted to make people aware that the perception of history and city planning assumptions are not sufficiently applied to today's projects and urban development.
With the intervention on the faculty building’s facade, a new exhibition project "Rapper", designed and moderated at the Faculty of Philosophy by Assoc. Prof. Dalibor Prancevic Ph.D. was launched. Prancevic pointed out that Viktor Popovic problematizes the city-planning and architectural heritage from the late 1960s and during the 1970s. From the archival document “SPLIT 3-Basic urban solution-Textual part: preliminary technical description and report from November 1969, Popović selects a few sentences that he applies to the recognizable facade, turning it into an active drawing questioning the appearance and nature of the city today. That transfers the inert aesthetics of the architectural exterior into a platform of extremely dynamic public discourse. What is more, in the Kula Gallery, by artistically re-elaborating Zvonimir Buljević's photographs that document the construction of Split 3, Viktor Popović points out the importance of protecting carefully designed and defined urban units, alluding to the vital need of more appropriate valorisation of this segment of urban planning in Split on all its levels. 

Artistic intervention on the Faculty of Philosophy’s facade was organized by the Faculty and the Croatian Association of Fine Artists Split, whose leader Vice Tomasovic also greeted the opening of this exhibition, while the part of it held at the Kula Gallery was organized by cultural institution of the same name.
