Dr. Franjo (Franz) Kresnik (born Wien 1869 - died Rijeka 1943) was an excellent physician and a Central European intellectual, a bohemian mind whose two loves in life made him very special. His ...passions were medicine and violin making. Most of his life was spent in Susak (now a part of Rijeka, Croatia), where he worked, played music and studied the art of making stringed instruments. He visited Cremona on several occasions and studied a number of violins, drawings and tools made and used by old masters. For his profound knowledge of Cremonese violin making the Italians dubbed him "Uomo che legge violini" (The Man Who Can Read Violins). In his workshop he made fifty-two violins, two violas, two cellos and a string quartet. Some of these instruments are still played in Europe and America. The remaining violins and possessions (tools, manuscripts, drawings, literature and countless diplomas and certificates) have been kept in a memorial room at the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral in Rijeka. In addition, a street near the Faculty of Medicine in Rijeka is named after Franjo Kresnik.
Matija Kresnik – Prosen (1821 – 1890) je bil mlinar, valhar in bukovnik starega kova. V knjige si je pogosto dal uvezati prazne liste, na katere je prepisoval razne pesmi, tudi Vodovnikove.
This chapter examines how the militant body has been articulated and disciplined in culture and media in postwar Germany by taking up representations of Ulrike Meinhof's body, which was found hanging ...from the window grillwork in Stammheim Prison on May 9, 1976. More specifically, it compares such representations to those of other prominent leftists, particularly Joschka Fischer, Germany's Foreign Minister and Vice Chancellor from 1998 to 2005. One of the most protracted reflections on Meinhof's life and death is the Tanztheaterstück titled Ulrike Meinhof, choreographed by Johann Kresnik. Playing off of familiar photographs of the German Far Left, Kresnik's dancers depict the articulation and disciplining of the militant body. Comparing the disparate representations of Meinhof and Fischer also reveals a cultural anatomy of protest and resistance that discloses the sexual politics that have shaped militant acts as well as postmilitant memory associated with the Red Army Faction.

Cacciatori previews an exhibition in Croatia that explores the doctor and luthier Franjo Kresnik's deep connection with Cremona and its violin making tradition. Rijeka and Cremona, two communities ...brought together by the violin and by the eclectic figure of Franjo Kresnik - are seeking to remember his creative work and research as well as the years that led up to the bicentenary celebrations and the founding of the violin making school. With this in mind, the Maritime and History Museum of the Croatian Littoral in Rijeka, the European Capital of Culture 2020, and the Museo del Violino in Cremona, are promoting an exhibition entitled Violins Beyond Borders: Stradivari in Rijeka - Kresnik and Cremona in Italy.

Santi examines the life and methods, as well as the legacy to the lutherie world of Franjo Kresnik, who wrote detailed analyses of instruments and their construction, but has almost been forgotten ...today. The year 1937 was a busy one for Cremonese lutherie. Two hundred years after Antonio Stradivari's death, the city staged a retrospective exhibition of the master's work that attracted 100,000 visitors -- around a third of whom came from abroad. From this, the seeds were sown for what became the Cremona International School of Violin Making, which opened its doors just one year later. The first tutor at the school was one Carlo Schiavi who, extraordinarily, had only just finished his own training -- originally he was appointed to assist Simone Fernando Sacconi, but took on the principal teaching role when Sacconi dropped out.
Dance pioneer Johann Kresnik brings his newest mix of dance and documentary, "Hotel Lux," to the Volksbuhne in Berlin this month. The ballet concerns a home for foreign refugees in the Stalinist ...Soviet Union.
