SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture)
SARAJEVO CONCEPTUAL ART TOUR (galleries, art and arhitecture)
Art is not the first thing that comes to our minds when we think about Bosnia and Herzegovina and Sarajevo, but we assure you that Sarajevo has one of the best art scenes in region. In this tour we will visit few locations in Sarajevo that are related to conceptual and contemporary art, we talk to local artists and art curators. Conceptual art is a direction in modern art from the early 1960s to the mid 1970s.
It emerged as an artist's desire to dematerialize the subject of artistic activity, using non-traditional artwork and materials (polaroid, art, film, video, body art, happening, urban action). Join us in this awesome tour! We start every day at 1pm, except on Sunday, in front of our colorful office and tour agency.

Brodac Gallery
Contemporary art gallery Brodac is located in an old building that has a story, and a soul. It used to be an prison during Austro- Hungarian occupation. Now it is turned into a cozy place where you can visit contemporary Bosnian art exhibition every once in a while. They also serve an amazing local craft beer Gelender.
45 minutesFerhadija Pedestrian Street
Ferhadija runs west to east, from Vječna Vatra and the point where it meets Titova St., all the way to Gazi Husrev-Begova St., where it then turns into Sarači St. and continues east. On Ferhadija street we will see Sarajevo Roses, a concrete scar caused by a mortar shell's explosion that was later filled with red resin. Mortar rounds landing on concrete create a unique fragmentation pattern that looks almost floral in arrangement. Because Sarajevo was a site of intense urban warfare and suffered thousands of shell explosions during the Siege of Sarajevo, the marked concrete patterns are a unique feature to the city.
30 minutesGalerija Java
The gallery works extensively on supporting and promoting both BiH and international artists, as well as collaborating closely with artists who work in various artistic mediums and represent the contemporary art scene.
