In the book FICTION RECONSTRUCTED the point of departure is a difference between Eastern and Western Europe that I try to conceptualize philosophically, insisting on a difference- a critical difference within and not a special classification method marking the process of grounding differences. This book can be perceived as a radical theorization of a particular (Eastern European) position; here positioning means repoliticization.( Marina Gržinić).

Galerija Marino Cettina, Dante Alighieri 20, Umag, Croatia.

The Gallery [Dante] Marino Cettina situated in the small town of Umag, on the Adriatic Sea, on the Istrian Peninsula, in Croatia, is solely and purely devoted to contemporary art productions. The Gallery [Dante] Marino Cettina is considered to be one of the first, if not the very first, private galleries for contemporary (fine) arts and visual(s) in the (former) Eastern European context.

The gallery was founded in 1985 by Marino Cettina, who passed away in 1998. Gallery [Dante] Marino Cettina was from the start to follow his visions, ideas and powerful obsessions, becoming a place of strength, of conceptual thinking and of an explosive mixture of East/West/North/South arts projects that challenged the idea of what is today contemporary visual arts, what is the function of the private gallery and how to define the art system in itself, as well as radical systems of thinking and acting in the field of art and culture.

The policy of the Gallery is to present to the art public in Croatia established international artists, to promote young emerging artists at home and abroad.

Through the essays presented, the book opens up future perspectives in art and culture via important writers, curators, art critics, theoreticians and artists from Europe and the USA.

The book GALLERY [DANTE] MARINO CETTINA
Future Perspectives is therefore, at the same time,
a testament and a manifesto for art, art criticism
and cultural strategies for the third millennium.
