Furthering a better cross-cultural understanding between Germany and Croatia is the main goal of the Counterparts program  , an initiative supported jointly by Roland Berger Strategy Consultants and the Goethe Institute in Croatia. The program has been instrumental in expanding and modernizing the Dubrovnik city libraries, the cultural heart of this ancient city. Most recently, the strategy consultancy has directed its assistance toward realizing a unique art exhibition in the Zagreb Museum of Contemporary Art.

For the exhibition entitled "Criss-Cross – Five Positions in Croatian and German Contemporary Art" Nada Beroš, Senior Curator of the museum, selected 11 artists from Croatia and Germany.

The exhibition compares and contrasts works by Lovro Artuković, Plamen Dejanoff, Nina Fischer & Maroan el Sani, Kristian Kožul, Kristina Leko, Marion Porten, Antje Schiffers, Julia Schmidt, Sonja Vuk, Slaven Tolj, all of whom are internationally renowned artists with distinguished careers.

The exhibition will be on display until December 30 in the Museum of Contemporary Art, Zagreb
