vacations and cultural funding / production / distribution.

on ones that fills the gap between those two art-worlds and

Croatia, enjoying the free position of the cultural periphery and

criteria [that depend on geo-political position of the art-producer]

circles.

Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_area)

A grey area is a term for a border in-between two or more things that
is unclearly defined, a border that is hard to define or even
impossible to define, or a definition where the distinction border
tends to move. There are several flavors of grey areas:

â A grey area of definitions signifies a problem of sorting reality
into clearly cut categories. Example: where is the border between
erotica and pornography?

â A grey area of law is an area where no clear law or precedent
exists, or where the law has not been applied in a long time thus
making it unclear if it is applicable at all.

â A grey area of ethics signifies an ethical dilemma, where the
border between right and wrong is blurred. Example: is killing always
abominable?

Grey areas are widely accepted in democratic societies and have a
clear connection to the notion of tolerance, whereas in societies of
totalitarianism, grey areas are typically not accepted on any level.

Many people accept grey areas as a natural part of the human
experience, whereas others may react with suspicion and a feeling of
deficients or incompleteness of any thought-system (or paradigm)
accepting grey areas.
