Pored galerije, kao najznačajnije delatnosti, naša izdavačka aktivnost se nije ograničila samo na Remont Art Magazin koji u kontinuitetu izlazi već 7 godina, tako da smo u toku 2006. publikovali nekoliko veoma značajnih publikacija u štampanom i elektronskom obliku. Galerija Remont je u toku 2006 godine nastavila sa uspešnim radom, organizovali smo 14 samostalnih i grupnih izložbi domaćih i inostranih umetnika, 6 prezentacija i video projekcija kao i nekoliko gostovanja po Srbiji i Evropi. Pored galerijske aktivnosti naša izdavačka aktivnost je tekla uporedo sa ostalim delatnostima. Remont Art Magazin se uključio u projekat “documenata 12 magazine” koji je prateći program Kaselskih Documenta 12 i osmišljen je sa ciljem povezivanja najrazličitijih umetničkih magazina i publikacija sa svih kontinenata. U protekle dve godine Documenta 12 su pozvale preko 90 magazina, online i štampanih medija da aktivno uzmu učešća u osmišljavanju programa i tri publikacije/magazina, koje će biti predstavljene na samoj izložbi u Kaselu od juna do oktobra 2007. U toku 2006. uspešno smo priveli kraju prvu fazu projketa DOKUMENT 2000, prve srpske internet baze podataka o savremenoj umetničkoj sceni (www.serbiancontemporaryart.info). Od kako je otvoren javni prostor REMONT- nezavisne umetničke asocijacije, februara 2000, paralelno sa svim aktivnostima, Remont je prikupljao dokumentaciju o umetnicima. U našoj ad hoc formiranoj arhivi nalazi se veliki broj kataloga, knjiga, portfolia, cd- a koji predstavljaju vredan dokument o dešavanjima na aktuelnoj domaćoj i regionalnoj umetničkoj sceni. U saradnji sa katedrom za Istoriju moderne umetnosti Filozofskog fakulteta u Beogradu, angažovani su studenti - mladi istoričari umetnosti u sređivanu ove dokumentacije. Jedan od rezultata njihovog rada predstavlja i postavljanje web baze podataka sa osnovnim informacija o umetnicima (biografije, popisi izložbi, preview-i najznačajnijih radova) koji su aktivni od 2000. Cilj projekta je dostupnost informacija širem krugu lokalnih i internacionalnih art profesionalaca. DOKUMENT 2000 je baza podataka o aktuelnoj savremenoj umetničkoj produkciji u Srbiji nakon 2000. godine. Predstavljeni umetnici su sarađivali i sarađuju sa REMONT- nezavisnom umetničkom asocijacijom www.remont.co.yu. Na web strani su dostupna skraćena portfolia izabranih autora a prošireni podaci kao i portfolia većeg broja autora u elektronskoj formi nalaze se na DVD diskovima u prostorijama REMONT-a. Baza se kontinuirano dopunjava, a podatke možete pretraživati po ključnim rečima. Prošla godina protekla je i u znaku dva velika projekta koje je Remont u saradnji sa inostranim partnerima realizovao u Beogradu i Zrenjaninu. U aprilu smo u saradnji sa Public Art Lab-om iz Berlina organizovali Mobilni Studio na najprometnijem mestu u gradu, Trgu Republike. U toku sedam dana beogradskoj publici se predstavilo dvadesetak umetnika a izložbe, prezentacije, diskusije i performanse je videlo više hiljada ljudi. Maj je protekao u znaku organizovanja prvog dela uvodne sesije trening programa za menadžment u kulturi - European Diploma (Srbija i Crna Gora 2006.), koja je ostvarena u saradnji sa fondacijom Marcel Hicter iz Brisela. Boravak grupe od dvadesetak mladih evropskih kulturnih menadžera, operatera i profesionalaca u našoj zemlji bio je dvostruko koristan: bila je to prilika da se nova internacionalna generacija polaznika iz svih sektora kulture upoznaju sa radom kolega iz Srbije, ali i da ovdašnji profesionalci kroz razgovore, predavanja razmene iskustva i informacije kako sa njima, tako i sa vrhunskim eksperstko-predavačkim timom koji vodi ovaj jedinstveni trening program. Pored Remonta, kao glavnog realizatora programa za Beograd i Srbiju, u projekat su bili uključene i partnerske organizacije i pojedinci iz Zrenjanina, u kom je takođe bio organizovan jedan deo sesije. Galerija je po drugi put za redom učestvovala na VIENNAFAIR predstavljajući srpsku umetničku scenu internacionalnoj publici. Na poziv organizatora i uz sponzorstvo Erste Bank Group publici su se predstavili renomirani beogradski umetnic srednje i mlađe generacije Mrđan Bajić, Uroš Đurić, Talent Factroy, Petar Mirković i Ivan Zupanc. Najavu o učešću galerije Remont i kraćei prikaze srpske umetničke scne objavili su brojni elektornski i štampani mediji, između ostalog i jedan od najpoznatijih evropskih magazina SPIKE. Na samom sajmu podeljeno je preko 200 primeraka dvojezičnog Remont Art Magazina. O izuzetnoj važnosti učešća na ovom sajmu govori i podatak da smo dobili nekoliko poziva za učešća na sličnim sajmovima koji se organizuju širom Evrope. Brojni ostvareni kontakti i ugovorene izložbe i gostovanja još jedno su potvrdili neophodnost izlaska domaće umetničke produkcije u internacionalne tokove.. Na domaćem planu fokus naših napora i dalje je problematizovanje pitanja tržišta i profesionalizacija celokupnog art sistema. Akcije koje kontinuirano sprovodimo imaju za cilj podizanje nivoa svesti kako kod nadležnih institucija tako i kod najšire publike o neophodnosti stvranja i zakonskog regulisanja tržišta umetničkih dela. Saša Janjić 4 06 Review The mere fact we have survived seven years in ultimately inconvenient social and economic circumstances indicates a success. Moreover, along with conducting the REMONT Gallery as our primary task, we have succeeded in maintaining the publishing activity. Besides the REMONT Art Magazine, which has been continuously issued for all these years, we have produced a number of important printed and electronic publications in 2006. During last year REMONT has continued its successful work – we organised 14 solo and group exhibitions of local and international artists, 6 presentations and video projections, as well as several artistic presentations in Serbia and abroad. Our publishing activity was also successful – REMONT Art Magazine was included in DOCUMENTA 12 MAGAZINE (a programme of Kassel Documenta 12), which is aimed at connecting various art magazines and publications from all continents. During the last two years Documenta 12 have invited over 90 printed and online media to take part in programming the magazine and selected three publications that will be presented in the course of exhibition in Kassel from June to October 2007. During 2006, REMONT successfully finished the first phase of DOCUMENT 2000 project – the first Internet database of Serbian contemporary art (www.serbiancontemporaryart.info). Ever since the opening of its public space in February 2000, REMONT – independent artistic association has been gathering the documentation on artists in the course of its everyday work. Our ad hoc archive already includes a number of catalogues, books, portfolios and optical media – a valuable document on happenings on contemporary local and regional artistic scene. In collaboration with the Department of History of Modern Art at the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade, a number of students have been engaged in systematisation of this material. One of the results of this work is the online database, offering basic information on artists (biographies, list of exhibitions and previews of most significant works) active since 2000. Aim of the project is to make these information available to a wider circle of local and international professionals. DOCUMENT 2000 is a database on Serbian modern artistic production since 2000, featuring artists that have been collaborating with REMONT - independent artistic association (www.remont.co.yu). The web page contains brief portfolios of selected artists, while detailed info and portfolios of a larger number of artists are available on DVD’s in REMONT office. The database, which includes a search engine, is continuously updated. The last year was also denoted by two major projects that REMONT realised through international partnership in Belgrade and Zrenjanin. In collaboration with Public Art Lab from Berlin we organised the MOBILE STUDIO on the busiest spot in Belgrade downtown – Trg Republike. During seven days in April, some twenty artists were presented to Belgrade audience and several thousands of spectators attended the exhibitions, presentations and discussions. In May REMONT co organised the first part of the opening session of an international training programme in cultural management – European Diploma (Serbia and Montenegro 2006) with Foundation Marcel Hicter from Brussels. The stay of a group of twenty young European cultural managers, operators and professionals in our country was of double benefit. Firstly, it was a chance for a new generation of international cultural managers to get familiar with their Serbian colleagues. Secondly, the local professionals were given an opportunity to exchange their experience with both the participants and the highly skilled lecturers who lead this unique training programme. Besides REMONT, as the chief organiser of the Belgrade/ Serbian programme, this project included partner organisations and individuals from Zrenjanin, where a part of the session took place. For the second time in a row, REMONT Gallery participated in VIENNAFAIR presenting the Serbian art scene to the international audience. Upon the invitation of the organisers and with a support of Erste Bank Group, distinguished artists of young and middle generation – Mrđan Bajić, Uroš Đurić, Talent Factory, Petar Mirković and Ivan Zupanc presented their works. Info on participation of REMONT Gallery, followed by brief reviews of Serbian artistic scene, was published in a number of electronic and printed media including one of the most renowned European magazines - SPIKE. Our representatives also gave away over 200 copies of the bilingual REMONT Art Magazine to our international colleagues. The importance of our participation in VIENNAFAIR is best reflected in the fact that we were invited to exhibit at a number of other similar fairs held across Europe. Numerous contacts and contracted exhibitions confirmed the necessity of participation of Serbian artists and art organisations in such events. Back in the local field, our attempts are still focused on the issues of art market and introduction of professional standards in the whole system of art production. The actions we continuously take are aimed at alerting the institutions and the public to the importance of establishing a factual and legal background for the art market. Saša Janjić One Way Tictket - Milena Maksimović Izložba fotografija “One Way Ticket” predstvalja scene iz svakodnevnog života zajednice kineskih imigranata u Srbiji, tačnije u Beogradu i Pančevu. Imajući u vidu da fotografija kao medij koji govori nekodiranim jezikom, te svojom tautološkom prirodom i prijanjanjem referenta kao njenim imanentnim svojstvom, može upućivati i izazivati kritički intoniran društveni komentar samo kod onih koji su i inače skloni kritici, dakle i u stvarnosti (Breht je gajio antipatiju prema fotografiji, zbog njene slabe kritičke snage), umetnica bira jednu od svima poznatih ali najmanje javno komentarisanih društveno političkih tema aktuelnog istorijskog trenutka Srbije. Upravo hladno, gotovo dokumentaristički beležeći sekvence iz života Kineza u Srbiji, u situacijama u kojima ih najčešće srećemo, ona provocira prevashodno posmatračevo polje kulturnog interesa i znanja (ono što Bart naziva studiumom), odnosno, poziva na preispitivanje problema klasne i rasne segregacije kineskih imigranata u jednoj sredini duboko natopljenoj predrasudama. U klimi gde su Kinezi de facto diskriminisani i gde su široko rasprostranjene optužbe koje idu od onih na račun njihovog izgleda, higijene, pa do onih na račun njihove navodne organizovane perfidne strategije osvajanja ostatka sveta posredstvom dampinga i misterioznog fenomena neumiranja u imigraciji kao trika za ilegalni ulazak drugih pomoću papira umrlog, i gde su veoma često i javna pominjanja Kineza obojena manje ili više očiglednim rasističkim tonom (pominjanje Kineza u jednoj popularnoj pesmi kao nekoga ko dobro plaća za fiktivni brak; senzacionalni naslovi ogromnim slovima na prvoj strani novina o Kinezu vinovniku saobraćajne nesreće, iako se slične vesti inače ne nalaze na naslovnicama), otvaraju se i opštija pitanja mehanizama formiranja stereotipa, kao i brojnih mistifikacija o određenoj etničkoj grupi stvorenih na osnovu ličnog iskustva sa procentualno veoma malom skupinom njenih predstavnika. Koliko je prisutna potreba za egzotizacijom drugosti, a koliko potreba za “posrbljavanjem” domaćih Kineza kroz nadevanje srpskih imena i pridobijanjem za srpsku kuhinju i navike, kako se oni osećaju u susretu sa evropskom reprezentacijom sopstvene drugosti kroz popularne predstave Orijenta, koliko je to za njih uvredljivo i da li je uopšte, da li je politička korektnost tek licemerno ruho u javnim istupima ili viši kulturni stupanj...

Having in mind that the medium of photography, which uses an uncoded language and through its tautological nature and involvement of a referent as its immanent feature invokes a critical social commentary only in those already inclining to criticism, i.e. in reality as well (Brecht had an aversion to photography because of its weak critical power), the artist chose a well-known, yet the least commented social issue of Serbian contemporary historical moment. Photographing the sequences of life of the Chinese in Serbia in a cold, almost documentary style, she provokes the spectator’s basic field of cultural interest and knowledge (which Bart calls studium), i.e. suggests the re-examination of class and racial segregation of Chinese immigrants in an environment burdened with prejudice. In a social climate where the Chinese are de facto discriminated and often offended regarding their looks and hygiene, accused of their so-called strategy for flooding and conquering the rest of the world by cutprice policy and mysterious phenomenon of “immortality” as a trick for enabling entries of new immigrants using the passports of the dead, where racist tone is sometimes used even in public discourse (mention of a Chinese as a person paying well for a fake marriage in a popular song, sensationalist headlines about a Chinese causing a car accident, although such news are not usually in the headlines), in such a climate some general issues of creation of stereotypes are raised, as well as issues of myriad mystifications of an ethnical group, derived from personal experience with a small number of its members. How offensive do they find it, if at all? Is political correctness merely a hypocritical decoration of the public discourse or it denotes a higher cultural level...?

Works of French artistic group Le dernier Cri (Les Religions Sovages & TV Cults) and Swiss artist Marcel Spuehler (HIT/Schlager) were presented in the course of a programme dedicated to presentations of international art scenes in Remont Gallery. Le Dernier Cri su osnovani 1993. godine na ruševinama pariske undergroud fanzin scene iz osamdesetih. Publikovali su preko 140 knjiga a tokom svog, sada vec decenijskog rada, kreirali su prostor prepoznatljiv po eksperimentisanju u grafici, filmu i izdavastvu. Beogradskoj publici su prezentovani video radovi Les Religions Sovages & TV sekte na kojem je radilo trideset umetnika. Le Dernier Cri were founded in 1993 on the debris of Paris underground fanzine scene of the 1980’s. They published over 140 books and throughout their work managed to create a space easily identifiable by experimenting in the domains of graphics, film and publishing. Belgrade public watched the video works Les Religions Sovages & TV Cults, made by some thirty artists. Marsel Spiler je umetnik koji se u svom radu ogledao u različitim vidovima kreativne prakse i to od animiranog filma, skulpture i crteža, pa do radova u poliesteru i kompjuterskoj grafici. Dominanta koja se provlači kroz čitav Marselov životni opus su video radovi akcionističke body art prakse, gde Spiler transvestira, realizujući svoju animu, prateći kamerom kroz decenije sve promene na njoj. U svojim video radovima, krenuvši u mladosti od “drag queen” tipa, on godinama razvija personifikaciju svoje anime kroz razne transformacije u izrazito ,,trash” i psihodeličnom duhu. Marcel Spuehler is an artist of enormous technological knowledge, which he uses in various forms including animation (drawn and puppet), sculpture and drawing, as well as works in polyester and computer graphics. The dominant and continuous line of his opus consists of works in the domain of actionist body art, a sort of transvestitism depicting his anima through the lifetime, documenting all changes in it with a video camera. Playing a role of “drug queen” in his early body art videos, he personifies his anima in the following years through transformations in the spirit of trash and psychedelia. 10 03. 02. i 09. 02 Le dernier Cri: Les Religions Sovages & TV Cults Marcel Spuehler: HIT/Schlager Arts Not Dead - Branislav Jakić Na platno velikih dimenzija Branislav Jakić projektuje podražavan položaj raspeća ekspresionističkim stilom . Na lice Hrista nalepljen je transparentan lik umetnika čije facijalne ekspresije upućuju na umirućeg čoveka. Minimalne diferencijacije ovih stanja, koja se mogu iščitati, nadomeštene su velikom brzinom njihovih smenjivanja. Ova agresivnost, ponovljena u dimenzijama (280x280cm), na minimalnoj udaljenosti projekcije od ulaza i audio zapisu - urlajućem glasu umetnika, remeti uobičajenu galerijsku i muzejsku percepciju i recepciju umetnosti. Posetiocima je pristup umetnosti ne samo auditivno i vizuelno, već i bukvalno, fizički onemogućen. Ipak, namera umetnika ne iscrpljuje se u izbacivanju publike iz galerijskog prostora. Ona se u potpunosti ispoljava u konačnom isključivanju umetnosti iz prostora navodno rezervisanog za njene potrebe. Iako naglašava da čovek treba da ubije neku ideju kako bi ona vaskrsla (Umetnost je mrtva! Živela umetnost!), Jakić ne elaborira do kraja problem umetnosti danas, niti nudi moguće projekcije. Međutim, usmeravajući nas ka neminovnosti radikalne transformacije umetnosti, on ukazuje na neophodnost njene definitivne smrti, kao nužnom preduslovu za usaglašavanje umetničke produkcije, prezentacije, percepcije i recepcije sa potrebama savremenog trenutka. Mara Prohaska Marković 10. 02 – 20. 02 On a large screen, Branislav Jakić projects a crucifix expressionistic in style. Christ’s face is overlapped with the transparent image of the artist himself whose facial expressions suggest the look of a dying man. The great velocity of changes compensates minimal differentiations of these expressions that can be detected. This aggressiveness – multiplied by the means of dimensions (280x280cm), at the minimal distance of the screen from the entrance and an audio record i.e. the screaming voice of the author – interferes with the usual gallery and museum perception and reception of art. Not only that visitors’ hearing and seeing are under attack, they are physically prevented from approaching the work of art. Still artist’s intention is not exhausted in the plain exile of visitors from the gallery space. His intention is fully expressed in the final banishment of Art from the space supposedly reserved for Art’s requirements. Although he emphasises that an idea should be killed in order to be born again (Art is dead! Long live Art!), Jakić does not fully elaborate the problem of today’s Art, nor he offers plausible solutions. Still, shifting us towards the inevitability of the radical transformation of Art, he indicates the necessity of its certain death as the necessary precondition for the compliance of artistic production, presentation, perception, and reception with the requirements of the present moment.

Contact: [email protected] 12 Lavirint - Jelena Radović i Tanja Marković Rad je koncipiran kao lavirint sastavljen od površina tila, razapetih od plafona do poda galerije, na kojima su odstampane ‘teorijske parole’ (citati i kratke refleksije filozofa, istoričara i teoretičara kulture i umetnosti i samih umetnika). Položaj teksta u prostoru ukazuje na pravac kretanja kroz lavirint. Izbor tekstova je takav da oni jedni druge preispituju, komentarišu i osporavaju i time dovode do “stranputica” i ponovo vraćaju na početne premise – kao u svakom lavirintu. Osnovna namera rada je da publiku suoči sa odnosima čulne percepcije i tekstualnih značenja. Odnosi među njima nisu čiste opozicije, pa se publika suočava sa materijalnom čulnošću značenja i semantičkim potencijalnostima čulnog. S obzirom da je rad koncipiran i kao kulturna, a ne više čisto umetnička praksa, njegov cilj je da publika ovim odnosima preispita i svoje šire kulturalne pozicije, koje uvek nastaju u previđenom ili osvešćenom prepletu čulnog i semantičkog. Rad je zamišljen tako da posmatrač, prolazeći kroz slepe ulice, prateći i isčitavajući objekte, ne nađe lako najkraći put do izlaza iz klaustrofobične situacije lavirinta. Tumaranje i lutanje tako postaju modeli saznavanja teorijskog konteksta, konteksta koji u ovom radu, osim što je objekt percepcije, postaje i neki novi tekst za širi umetničko-teorijsko-politički kontekst. Masovni mediji i svet reklamne industrije oblikuju strukturu i kapacitete naših sve fragilnijih dugoročnih i kratkoročnih individualnih memorija. U takvom informatičkom i medijskom okruženju slike sveta postaju sve sitnije fragmentisana znanja, koja su naizgled međusobno nepovezana, osim uvek mogućim arbitrarnim vezama koje proizvodi tržište. Kratka forma teorijskih rečenica odgovara optimalnoj, podnošljivoj količini informacije. Rečenice su birane tako da budu razumljive i mimo konteksta tekstova iz kojih su istrgnute. Rad postavlja sledeća pitanja: na koji način kontekstualizovati savremeni umetnički rad; gde naći tačke oslonca za adekvatnu interpretaciju; kako teorijski umrežiti set stavova koji rad proizvodi ili doslovno nudi čitanju; u kojoj fazi percepcije počinje proizvodnja značenja/znanja/moći; i sl. Instalacija La- virint bavi se ovim pitanjima, komplikujući probleme iz ranijih radova i nastavlja da istražuje funkcije pogleda u/kroz/preko objekta.

The Maze - Jelena Radović i Tanja Marković The work is conceived as a maze made of cloths stretched between the gallery ceiling and the floor, each cloth bearing printed “theoretical slogans” (short reflections and quotations by philosophers, historians and theorists of art and culture and artists themselves). The position of text in space suggests the path through the maze. The choice of texts is such that they question, comment and deny each other, often misleading and bringing one back to previous points – as in any other maze. The basic intention of the work is to confront the visitors with relations between sensory perception and textual meanings. They are not in full opposition, so the audience is confronted with the material/sensory aspect of semantics and semantic potential of the senses. Since the work contains a social aspect in addition to the artistic one, its aim is to lead the public to questioning their own cultural positions, which are always the result of either overlooked or conscious weave of sensory and semantic details. The work is conceived so that a visitor, passing through dead-end streets, following and reading the textual objects, cannot find an easy way out of the claustrophobic situation of the maze. Wandering and straying thus become the models of learning the theoretical context, a context that in this work, besides being the object of perception, becomes a new text for a wider artistic-theoretical-political context. Mass media and the world of advertising industry form the structure and capacities for our increasingly fragile long-term and short-term individual memories. Such an environment makes our notion of the world fragmented into tiny pieces, which do not seem to be interconnected, except by possible arbitrary links created by the market. The short form of theoretical sentences fits the optimal, bearable quantity of information. The sentences were chosen according their comprehensibility outside the original context. The work raises the following questions: How to contextualise a contemporary artwork? How to establish the foundation for an adequate interpretation? How to make a theoretical network of views which this work creates and literally offers for reading? In which phase of perception does the creation of notion/knowledge/power start? In the installation entitled The Maze, we asked these questions, combining problems we dealt with in our earlier works and proceeding with investigation of the functions of view into/through/ over an object.

Belaj - Marko Stojanović Bele instalacije, “Belaji” kako ih je sam autor, Marko Stojanović, nazvao, predstavljeni ovom prilikom, segment su njegovog opusa za koji sam tvrdi da o njemu ne bi znao šta da kaže. Naravno, da ne bi, jer je radom već ponudio bogato razuđen iskaz i asocijativni kontekst. Beli materijali (so, šećer, brašno, mleko u prahu, …kokain …) različite granulacije, čvrstoće i ukusa predstavljeni su najsličnijim mogućim prostornim pojavama – u količini i obliku. Na razlike među njima ukazuju nijanse odsjaja (ili emisije) i imena materija otisnuta u njima identičnim fontom. Iza vizuelno uočljivih razlika otkrivaju se (ili prizivaju) i poznate i pretpostavljene različitosti njihovih ukusa i dejstava. Tako ahromija postaje panhromija, jer iz beline izranja bogati spektar nijansi koje reflektuju i emituju različiti granulati. Ako se belini kao osnovni kvalitet pretpostavi bezličnost nastala stapanjem različitih komponenti spektra, onda se Stojanovićev autorski pristup može definisati kao negiranje bezličnosti ukazivanjem na bogatstvo identiteta i diferencija u belom svetlu. Filozofska, teozofska, metafizička, i/ili dijalektička razmatranja i spekulacije, kao primarne referade belih radova prethodnika, da pomenemo samo Maljeviča i suprematizam, ili konceptualiste, ipak ne zadovoljavaju u potpunosti autorovu potrebu za definiciju posebnih identiteta i svojstava. Stojanović stoga uvodi i dvostruku subjektivnost svakog od kvaliteta (identiteta): subjektivnost materije po sebi i subjektivnost objekta dejstva – posmatrača ili degustatora. Tako uvodi element ugođaja odnosno uživanja kao korektiv merljivog fizičkog svojstva ili dejstva. To nije hedonizam u svom negativnom (osuđujućem) vidu, već dodatna mera subjektivnosti u kojoj se traži istina. Uživanje dopunjava istinitost utiska, te se do zadovoljenja dolazi otkrivanjem subjektiviteta kroz subjektivno dejstvo i pristup. Kada se Markova vokacija za dizajn sagleda iz tog rakursa otkriva se njegov lični pristup i stav prema brendizaciji - može, ali samo uz poštovanje identiteta - diferentiae specificae- onog što se brendira i onog kome je brend namenjen i predstavljen. Intelektualna i etička odgovornost moraju biti i čulno opažljive, kako u artes minores 20. 03 – 07. 04. tako u ARTES (MAIORES) i uopšte. Dejan Radovanović P.S. U ličnom čitanju prva asocijacija koja se javila piscu ovih redova je lik ostarelog Kazanove /Marčela Mastrojanija u filmu Noć u Verneu Etorea Skole. Maska i kostim Gabriele Peskuči dale su tada tridesetak nijansi prašinaste “bele” popadale po ocvalom zavodniku. Izvanredna vizualizacija poruka o nevinosti stečenoj vremenom (možda mudrošću), odnosno prevejanoj nevinosti. Dalji tok asocijacija doveo je do ovog čitanja. P.P.S. Film je snimljen 1982!

It is quite understandable, since his work already offers a richly diverse expression and associative context. White materials (salt, sugar, flour, powdered milk... cocaine...) of different grain types and sizes, hardness and flavour are presented in as similar as possible shapes and quantities. Differences between them are suggested by nuances in the ways they reflect the light and by names of the matters imprinted in them using a common font. Along with the visible differences, some known and presumed qualities such as flavour and effects are revealed (or evoked) as well. Therefore, these achromatic matters become panchromatic, because their whiteness reflects and emits a variety of colour nuances. If whiteness is amorphous because it includes all segments of visual spectrum, then Stojanović’s approach can be defined as negation of amorphousness through pointing to the richness of identities and varieties inside the white light. Philosophical, theosophical, metaphysical and/or dialectical considerations and speculations, which were primary topics of white art pieces by predecessors such as Malevich and other suprematists, as well as conceptualists, were insufficient to satisfy the author’s need for defining specific identities and qualities. This is why Stojanović introduced double subjectivity of each quality (identity): subjectivity of the matter itself and subjectivity of the spectator or degustator. This is how he introduces the element of mood, i.e. enjoyment as a corrective to measurable physical quality or effect. It is not hedonism in the pejorative sense, rather an additional touch of subjectivity in quest for the truth. Enjoyment completes the truthfulness of the impression, so satisfaction is achieved by revealing the subjectivity through subjective action and approach. If we look at Marko’s dedication to design from such an angle we can easily recognise his personal approach and attitude towards branding – it is OK as long as it includes the identity, differentia 20. 03 – 07. 04. specifica of what is to be branded, as well as a consumer that the brand is aimed at and presented to. Intellectual and ethical responsibility must be available to senses in both artes minores and ARTES (maiores) and in general. Dejan Radovanović P.S. The first clue to my personal reading of this work was the character of aged Casanova (Marcello Mastroianni) in Ettore Scola’s That Night in Varennes. The make-up and costumes by Gabriella Pescucci cast dozens of nuances of powdery “white” upon the withered seducer. Exquisite visualisation of innocence gained over time (maybe by wisdom), i.e. cunning innocence. Further clues and associations led to this final reading. P.P.S. The film was made in 1982!

Ove fotografije funkcionišu kao „originalni vizuelni predlošci ličnih nesanica“ same umetnice. Veliki digitalni print dokumentuje kretanje unutar jedne prostorije ka prozoru i predstavlja sukcesivno snimljene i sadržajno vezane zamrznute kadrove sa te putanje. Narativnost i linearnost, na koje upućuje njihov kontinuirani raspored, pojačane su podražavanjem filmske trake, kao i titlom-citiranim segmentom priče „Beni hara po Dablinu“. Titl nas uvodi u priču o anksioznom pojedincu, koji je ispunio sve društvene standarde za postizanje uspešnog i srećnog života, dok pitanja o konačnim uzrocima njegovog nezadovoljstva ostaju nedovoljno saglediva. Istovremeno, kako bi se izmestilo iz uobičajene reprezentacije stvarnosti putem fotografije, u nekim kadrovima uhvaćena je neobično dinamična igra svetlosti i senke. Na taj način, dočarane su pukotine u realnom prostoru koje uvode u subjektivni, lični, nerealan svet, čime je postepeno, na drugoj strani galerije, i kontinuitet u vremenu diskretno narušen. Oštre i zamagljene fotografije diskontinuirano u nizovima postavljene nagoveštavaju permanentno izmicanje realnog i rasplinjavanje subjekta u psihološkom, mentalnom, emotivnom i biološkom smislu. Slično konstruktivističkoj fascinaciji mašinama u vizuelnim predlošcima Nine Todorović dominira prisustvo aparata, ali na jedan drugačiji način. Direktno pojavljivanje i upotreba mašina u konstruktivističkoj umetnosti sa početka 20. veka ukazuje na specifičan humanistički pristup mašini kao sredstvu za menjanjem sveta i ostvarenjem utopijskih vizija o boljem životu čoveka u svetu koji ga okružuje. U radu Geometrija nesanice ova neposredna slika aparata izostaje. Preovlađujuća plavičastosrebrnasta svetlost je boja noćne gradske svetlosti koju emituju televizori, kompjuteri, mobilni telefoni... Njihovo samo indirektno prisustvo kroz senke i svetlost je znak odsustva u realnom i usmerenosti, aktivnosti, uključenosti u virtuelni svet. Takođe, ova isključiva posrednost je duplirana namerno samo pretpostavljenim prisustvom autora/ subjekta, što govori i o njegovom izmenjenom položaju u automatizovanom svetu aparata u kome fundamentalna filozofska i egzistencijalna pitanja o slobodi postaju irelevantna. Istrajavanje umetnice u apostrofiranju posrednosti doprinosi stvaranju napete atmosfere koja se ispostavlja kao simptom dolazećeg emotivnog, duhovnog i fizičkog nestajanja.

Geometry of Insomnia - Nina Todorović Constructivist, visually arranged geometrical compositions, photographed from the extreme low angle, carried out from secular architectural structures are the focal point of the work The Geometry of Insomnia by Nina Todorovic. These photographs function as “the original visual patterns of personal insomnia” of the artist herself. A large digital print documents movement inside a room towards a window and represents frames of the course of the movement, which are recorded in succession and internally bond by its subject matter. The narrative and linear nature of it, is amplified by the means of imitating the film tape and by the title – a cited fragment from the story “Benny Forays Dublin”. The title is the foreword to the story of an anxious individual who fulfils all of the standards that should promise a successful and happy existence. However, the questions on the substantial origins of his discontent remain unanswered. At the same time, in order to remove itself from the domain of expected representation of reality by means of photography, an unusually dynamic play of light and shadow is captured in some shots. By these means cracks in the real space become visible inviting us into a subjective, personal space beyond reality, while on the other side of the gallery the continuity of time is discreetly disturbed. Sharp and blurred photos arranged in discontinuous lines suggest permanent slipping of the reality and psychological, mental, emotional, and biological dispersion of the subject. Similar to Constructivist fascination by machines in the visual patterns by Nina Todorovic presence of gadgets is dominating though in a different manner. In Constructivist art from the beginning of the 20th century obvious appearance of machines as subject matters testifies of the specific humanistic approach in which the machine is the means for changing the World and carrying out with the utopian vision of a better life in the existing world. This direct image of the machine is omitted in the work The Geometry of Insomnia. A silver-blue light is the colour of the city at night, lightened by television sets, computers, cell phones… Their indirect presence through shadows and light is the sign of absence from the real world and steering ac- tivities towards participation in the virtual one. In addition, this exclusive indirect presence is deliberately duplicated by the supposed presence of the author/subject that says a lot about its altered position in the mechanised world of machines in which fundamental philosophic and existentialistic issues of freedom become irrelevant. The perseverance of the artist in emphasising indirectness brings out the intense atmosphere as a symptom of approaching emotional, spiritual, and physical vanishing.

Josip Broz Tito 1980-2006 - Dragan Srdić Dragan Srdić je već dve decenije prisutan na beogradskoj umetničkoj sceni ali spada u autore koji izlažu retko, i dugo se bave razvijanjem jednog projekta. Po obrazovanju istoričar umetnosti, Srdić se kao vizuelni umetnik još sredinom osamdesetih opredelio za dve linije razvoja. Jedna, koja je posle par akcija zapostavljena, bavila se remake-om nekih od ključnih radova jugoslovenske umetničke scene 70 –tih (Triglav - grupe OHO, intervencija na pešačkom prelazu kao karakterističan motiv Julija Knifera...). Druga, koja je prisutna i dan danas, je rekontekstualizacija predmeta i objekata pronađenim na otpadima ali sa jasnim i jakim kulturološkim impilkacijama. Od 90-tih godina koristi isključivo “otpad” koji je u vreme Titove vlasti imao značenje društvenog statusa i pripadnosti ideologiji tog vremena - zvezde petokrake, biste zaslužnih revolucionara i spomen ploče koji su bili deo obaveznog mobilijara svake društvene institucije. Sredinom 90-tih postojao je i mali iskorak kao reakcija na ratno okruženje -delovi ili namerno oštećena (neiskorišćena) municija teškog naoružanja – bombe, rakete... Kroz svoje dve samostalne izložbe, ČAS ANATOMIJE u Kulturnom centru Beograda, 2000. godine i JOSIP BROZ TITO 1980 – 2006, u Remont galeriji, razvija projekat koji je istoričar umetnosti Lidija Merenik nazvala AUTODESTRUKCIJA ISTORIJE (UMETNOSTI). Na ČASU ANATOMIJE, na otvorenom stolu sličnom operacionom, izložene su pretesterisane, izbrušene, izbušene, oskrnavljene biste: Tito sa skinutim skalpom, bez nosa, bez glave. Na izložbi u Remont galeriji slični i isti delovi prethodne instalacije su “sahranjeni”, postavljeni u monumentalni stakleni sarkofag pokriven teškom mermernom nadgrobnom pločom na kojoj piše JOSIP BROZ TITO 1980 – 2006. Grubo isečene biste, odlivci radova poznatih i priznath umetnika poput Antona Augustinčića, Ota Loga, Lojze Dolinara ili Borisa Kalina (neki od istovetnih odlivaka se nalaze i u stalnim postavkama muzeja), ukazuju na društvenu i kulturnu klimu nakon Titove smrti, 1980. godine. Ova kriticka refleksija na društvo posle 80 tih prikazana u monumentalnoj providnoj kutiji – sarkofagu pokrivenoj teškom mermernom pločom i natpisom JOSIP BROZ TITO 1980 – 2006, direktno ukazuje na ovo vreme koje karakteriše novo pozicionirenje prema bliskoj prošlosti, uništavanje dokumenata zarad stvaranja nove istorije. Uništavanje i bes iskaljen na umetničkim objektima od strane NN lica, najverovatnije samo zbog administrativnog otpisa i lakšeg transporta, odraz su vremena i potisnutog nezadovoljstva, destrukcije i autodestrukcije iskazane prema vlasititoj prošlosti. Mada su se ova izvorno umetnička dela na otpadima našla početkom devedesetih, danas, intervencijom umetnika, govore i o uništavanju dokumenata, brisanja istorije, zarad stvaranja jedne nove pozadine slike koja omogućava i novo, često lažno predstavljanje ili “stariju i lepšu” prošlost. Vandalizam prema nesumnjivo kvalitetnim radovima, fizičko oštećenje i deformisanje predmeta koji čine kulturnu tradiciju, prekida jedan prirodan tok razvoja društva i stvara uslove za inflaciju vrednosti.

Josip Broz Tito 1980-2006 - Dragan Srdić Although present on the Belgrade art scene for two decades now, Dragan Srdic is an artist who rarely exhibits and takes a long time to build up a project. An art historian by vocation, in mid eighties Srdic oriented himself towards two lines of development. One line, from which he turned away after several events, was concerned with the remakes of some crucial art works of the Yugoslav art scene of the seventies (Triglav – by OHO group, an intervention on the pedestrian crossing which resembled a characteristic motive by Julije Knifer, etc.). The other, current line is concerned with re-contextualisation of things and objects found on garbage dumps bearing clear and strong cultural implications. Since the nineties he exclusively uses “junk” that, during Tito’s reign, represented social status symbols and implied loyalty to the ideology of the time – five-legged stars, busts of renowned revolutionaries and memorial plates which were obligatory parts of the inventory of any social institution. In mid nineties he makes small step forward as a reaction to a war stricken environment – parts or deliberately damaged (unused) ammo of heavy machinery – bombs, rockets… Through two solo exhibitions – THE ANATHOMY CLASS in Belgrade Cultural centre in 2000 and JOSIP BROZ TITO 1980 – 2006 in Remont Gallery, Srdic pursues the project which art historian Lidija Merenik named THE AUTHODESTRUCTION OF THE HISTORY (OF ART). In THE ANATHOMY CLASS on an open table similar to an operating table Srdic displays sawed, desecrated busts: Tito with his scalp, without the nose, without the head. On the exhibit in Remont Gallery some similar and some of the same parts of the previous installation are “buried”, placed in a monumental glass sarcophagus covered with a heavy marble tombstone inscribed with the heading JOSIP BROZ TITO 1980 – 2006. Roughly cut busts, casts of the sculptures of the well-known and renowned artists as Anton Augustincic, Oto Log, Lojze Dolinar and Boris Kalin (some of the identical casts are in permanent museum displays), reveal the social and cultural climate after Tito’s death in 1980. This critical reflection of the society after the eighties is displayed in a monumental trans- parent box – the sarcophagus covered with a heavy marble tombstone with inscription JOSIP BROZ TITO 1980 – 2006 – implicitly stand for the time characteristic for its relation towards recent past in which documents are destroyed in order to create new history. Destruction and rage upon objects of art manifested by unidentified perpetrators, possibly as the result of administrators write-off and easier transport, are reflections of the time and suppressed discontent, destruction and auto destruction pointed towards ones own past. Although these originally works of art were found on dump yards in the beginning of the nineties, today thanks to artist’s intervention they speak of destroying documents, of attempts to rewrite the history in order to create a new background for the image of the new and often false representation of “an older and better” past. Vandalism towards undoubtedly valuable works, physical destruction and deformation of objects which are parts of the cultural tradition interferes with the natural course of development of ones society and creates conditions for inflation of values.

Pored ordinarnih svakodnevnih poslova, mali tim (Filip - softver inženjer, Staša - animator i ja), je odvajao i malo vremena za maštanje o radu na sopstvenoj produkciji kompjuterskih igrica. Filip je krstio taj trio imenom “Talent Factory“. Ali kratko je to trajalo, a ništa od planova nije javno realizovano. Na desetogodišnjicu svog rada pod pseudonimom “Talent“ odlučujem da usvojim ime “Talent Factory“ za novoformirani tim. Tek pridošli član bila je Dejana Momčilović, modni dizajner, dok su dotadašnja dva člana otišla svako svojim putem. Tandemu se nekoliko narednih godina pridružio Vlastimir Polić, skenerista i operater, dok je Pavle Ćosić gostovao na nekoliko performansa. U tom periodu, “Talent Factory“ kako-tako funkcioniše kao kolektiv sve do Dejaninog istupanja iz grupe 2000. godine. Od tada pa do maja 2006. godine, ja ću biti jedini preostali član fantomske grupe “Talent Factory“. 29. 05 – 09. 06. Studirao grafiku i fotografiju na Fakultetu primenjenih umetnosti u Beogradu. 1986 1996 radi kao član grupe Talent. 1996 - 2006 pod pseudonimom Talent Factory. Samostalne izložbe: 2006.

Veza/Connection, II Međunarodna konferencija za umetnost i kulturu , Beograd Kontakt: [email protected] U euforičnom početku, delovanje grupe nije imalo rok trajnosti, ali kako su se naslućivali veliki nadolazeći problemi, naprosto, na toj konzervi je morao da se utisne neki datum. “Talent“ je trajao deceniju, toliko je trebao trajati i “Talent Factory“. Radove sačinjene uglavnom kombinacijom materijala biološkog porekla i nekih otpadaka industrije, zamenili su radovi drugačijeg izgleda i filozofske pozadine, mada su senzibilitet i neke karakteristike ranih radova neznatno evoluirali. Ali jasno definisana linija između ideja ova dva perioda nije povučena. Ipak, “Talent Factory“ je bio naslednik Talentovog testamenta. Ako se danas osvrnem na taj period u cilju traženja odgovora na pitanje da li je “Talent Factory“ bio grupa ili projekat, nisam siguran da je moj odgovor moguće koristiti kao relevantnu činjenicu. Za mene je to turobno razdoblje. Zato je bolje da citiram novinarku čijeg se imena ne sećam: “Gospodine Periću, “Talent Factory“ je sve ove godine bio poznat brend. Sada ga gasite. Zašto nam to radite i šta dalje?” Kako god, u taj brend sam uložio mnogo velikih očekivanja, vremena, sav novac, zdravlje. Na kraju sam ostao sam kao opljačkano gnezdo. Dosta više o “Talent Factory-ju“. The End. 30 10 years of Talent Factory If my memory serves me well, I was employed as the art director in Revision Advertising Agency back in 1995. Besides the ordinary daily tasks, a small team including Filip (IT engineer), Staša (animation artist) and I took some spare time to dream about an independent computer game production. Filip named the trio Talent Factory. However, it did not last and we made no final product. On the10th anniversary of my work under the pseudonym Talent, I decided to adopt the name Talent Factory for my newly formed team. Dejana Momčilović (fashion designer) became a new member while Filip and Staša had left in the meantime. For a couple of years the duo collaborated with Vlastimir Polić (computer operator), while our friend Pavle Ćosić joined us for a couple of public performances as a sound artist. Talent Factory functioned more or less as a collective until Dejana left it in 2000. After that, I remained the only member of the phantom Talent Factory group until 2006. In the euphoric beginning, the group had no validity date. However, as problems piled up, some sort of “valid until...” label had to be stuck on the can. Since Talent lasted for a decade, Talent Factory should have lasted for the same period. The works that mainly combined biomaterial with industrial rejects were replaced with those of different shape and philosophic background. On the other hand, the sensibility and some other characteristics of earlier works were insignificantly altered, so there was no clear borderline between these two periods. After all, Talent Factory was the legitimate heir of Talent. Looking back at that time trying to answer a possible a question whether Talent Factory was a group or a project, I am not sure if my answer would be relevant. For me it was a gloomy and difficult period. I would rather quote a journalist whose name I cannot remember: “Mr. Perić, Talent Factory has been a well known brand for all these years.

The End. 32 Buđanje proleća - Toma Pan 05. 06 – 09. 06. O izložbi Tome Pana u Remontu On Toma Pan’s exhibition at Remont Toma Pan je dugo i studiozno radio na ilustracijama za omot albuma “Buđanje proleća” grupe Jarboli. Paralelno sa tim Jarboli su na Popboks sajtu započeli akciju “Radio Jarboli” u kome su objavljivali jedan internet “singl” mesečno za koji je Toma Pan pravio crtež - omot. Dodajmo tome i plakate za koncerte koje je Toma vredno pravio. Na taj način, Pan je razvio poseban crtački jezik kojim je vizuelno odredio jednu celu fazu u radu grupe Jarboli. Toma Pan has worked meticulously, and for a long time, on the illustrations for the album cover “Buđenje proleca” (“The Spring Awakening”) for the Jarboli band (The Masts). Parallel to this, the Jarboli band started an action “Radio Jarboli” on the Popbox website where they published one internet “single” per month and Toma Pan did a drawing – cover for it. The concert posters Toma diligently worked on could be added to this list too. In this way, Pan has developed specific drawing language which visually defined a whole phase in the work of the Jarboli band. Izložbu u Remontu uopšte nisam video. Nalazio sam nekako, preko hiljadu kilometara daleko (to nije ništa – Boris se, na primer, nalazio preko 10 hiljada kilometara daleko i time postavio svetski rekord). O izložbi su, naravno, stizale glasine i izveštaji. Biće da je to bila jedna odlična prezentacija kada se setim tih nasmejanih lica sa fotografija na otvaranju ili pohvalne reči kojima su se svedoci izražavali o postavci. Toma Pan se tako potvrdio kao jedinstven, jedan jedini takav na celom svetu i vrlo dragocen od neprocenjive vrednosti. Itekako… Daniel Kovač, Jarbol I didn’t see the exhibition at Remont. I was absent, about a thousand miles away, that is nothing – Boris (one of the band members), for instance, was more than 10 thousand miles away and thus he set the new world record. Of course, various rumours and reports about the exhibition reached us. When I recollect those smiling faces in the photographs from the opening or the words of praise about the show expressed by the witnesses, I may conclude that it had been an excellent presentation. Thus, Toma Pan has confirmed himself as a unique figure, the one and only in the whole world and quite precious, priceless. Indeed… Daniel Kovač, a Jarbol 34 Imunnalimun - Aleksandar Jordačević Na početku zamišljen kao solo projekat, a kasnije prerastao u grupu mladih kreativaca. Imunnalimun (imun_na_limun) je nastao kao potreba za očuvanje kreativnog, individualnog mišljenja i izražavanja u trenutku kada je teško postati “IMUN” na svet i medije koji nas okružuju. Deluje u obliku internet prezentacije radova iz oblasti vizuelnih komunikacija Aleksandra Jordačevića i prijatelja (ljudi iz sveta dizajna i umetnosti) i teži da postane arhiva kreativnosti. Kako svaka arhiva ima tendenciju širenja tako je i ova otvorena je za sve kreativne ljude koji na svet gledaju drugačijim očima. Imunanalimun ima takođe za cilj da mlade autore i njihove radove galerijski i preko interneta u vidu različitih projekata, predstavi široj javnosti kako u zemlji tako i inostranstvu. U galeriji Remont je naša grupa na izložbi nazvanoj “Exhibition with the 3 stripes” prvi put predstavljena javnosti uz podršku jednih od naših najznačajnih dizajnera Slavimira Stojanovića i Vladana Srdića. Planned as a solo project at first, Imunnalimun (imun_na_limun, Serbian expression for immune_to_lemon) eventually developed into a group of creative young individuals. The project is stressing the need for preservation of creative individual thinking and expression in times when it is hard to stay IMMUNE to the world and media that surround us. Imunnalimun is organised in the form of a web presentation of works in the domain of visual communication by Aleksandar Jordačević and his friends (coming from the world of design and art), aiming to become an archive of creativity. Since every archive has a tendency to grow, this one is open to all creative people having different points of view upon the world. Imunnalimun also aims at presenting young authors and their works to the local and international public in the form of on-site and on-line projects. The group’s first public appearance took place in Remont Gallery and was entitled Exhibition with the 3 Stripes. The exhibition was supported by two distinguished Serbian designers – Slavimir Stojanović and Vladan Srdić. www.imunnalimun.com www.imunnalimun.com Aleksandar Jordačević, Nis, SRB [email protected] Aleksandar Jordačević, Nis, SRB [email protected] Miha Bevc, Ljubljana, SLO miha.

(Njujork kao) Open Market kustos Jovana Stokić Izložba koja bi predstavila umetnike koji su prisutni na savremenoj njujorškoj likovnoj sceni reflektuje specifičnu situaciju. Paradigma open marketa ukazuje na prirodu razmene koja je prisutna u svetu umetnosti danas. Kada je u prolece 2005, Muzej Moderne Umetnosti odlučio da se nađe u središtu savremene produkcije, i organizuje svojevrsni salon umetnika koji žive na širem području Njujorka (PS 1: Greater New York 2005) na konkurs je poslalo radove oko 2000 umetnika. Izabrano je njih 150. Prva odlika open marketa je – postoji ponuda, kao što postoji i potražnja. Kompeticija je, moguće, najveća na svetu. Po otvaranju izložbe, velika većina umetnika je već imala svog galeristu, što znaći da im je omogućeno da prodaju svoje radove. Open market – pijaca na otvorenom – i jeste i nije institucija. Institucija je utoliko što poseduje uređenost, ali i nije, pošto je nestalna, jedan dan je postavljena, pa se razmontira i pređe na neko drugo mesto. Menjaju se vlasnici tezgi, menja se roba, menjaju se kupci. Na ovoj pijaci ima više dobitnika - oni koji imaju prave, zvanične tezge za prodaju, neće morati da stoje oko tezgi i nude svoje proizvode, sa kartonskih kutija, oni ce moći da podignu cene; oni koji ućare tako čto kupe sa tezge pre nego što se preseli u supermarket. I oni koji prodaju umetnost, pre nego što se ubajati, i tako uhvate zudnju kupaca za određenim sezonskim proizvodom. Zgodno je da je open market drugačiji od sterlinog supermarketa – drčniji, bezobrazniji, prljaviji. Samo, oni koji se bune protiv uređenog koji hoće da daju popust uprkos očiglednoj logici prodaje. Umetnici koji nemaju samo za cilj da se njihova roba nađe na rafovima (art) SUPERMARKETA, oni koji uživaju u ritualu koji prati razmenu, u hvaljenju i kuđenju, u cenkanju i ponosnom odbijanju bedne i nedostojne ponude, biće ovde predstavljeni. To su umetnici koji se suprotstvljaju uravnoteženoj razmeni novca i (umetničke) robe, koji ne nude svoju robu “budzašto”, oni samo kritički sagledavaju ovu razmenu. Priznajući da se tako mora delati da bi se postajalo, ovi umetniici razmenjuju umetnost za novac, ali pokazuju da razmena može da 19. 06 – 07. 07. bude i znatno dinamičnija – razmena ideja, vizuelnih jezika, načina i predstava. Jovana Stokić Umetnice: Jenny Perlin Chloe Piene Aida Ruilova 38 (New York as) Open Market curated by Jovana Stokić Ironically, the continuing technological and communicational advances in our globalized present do not guarantee equal opportunities for all. Instead of generating a trans-national community with a shared set of aesthetic and perceptual foundations, the artworld remains structured as a set of multiple hegemonic systems. In order to fight against marginalization of the art scenes that do not belong to the most privileged centers, I would like to contribute to the open exchange between New York and Belgrade. Firmly believing that both artist community and general audience in Belgrade should have the opportunity to see firsthand and without delays the innovative art production from the “center of the artworld, New York” this show will present a group of leading emerging artists of the New York art scene. This exhibition will focus on the artists who established themselves on the New York art scenes, but are at the same time critical of the art market as it is today. Paradigm of the “open market” points to nature of the exchange in the art world. I offer a following allegorical story about the power-relationship in the New York art scene. When, in the Spring 2005, Museum of Modern Art decided to put itself in the epicenter of contemporary production by organizing an exhibition of the emerging artists from New York City area (the exhibition “Greater New York”) more than 2000 artists sent their proposals. Only 150 of them were chosen to show the works. This is how the logic of the open market is manifested: where there is demand, there is supply. After the show opened, the vast majority of artists found their own galleries, which provided them to be able to sell their works. Open market, literally meaning “market on the open air,” is, and, in the same time, it is not an institution. It is an institution because it possesses certain regulation. But, it can be dismantled so easily and the owners of the “booths” in the “open-air market places” are changing, whiles the merchandise and the buyers also change rapidly. In this “open-air market” there are those who posses the official stands, and those who have to be satisfied with marginally placed, improvised card boxes. Those with official places can raise their prices, while everybody’s in a hurry to 19. 06 – 07. 07. sell art that is still fresh - in order to capture buyers urge to posses the new seasonal products. It is funny that “open market” art logic is different from the neutral supermarket - it is bolder, cheekier, and dirtier. Those who fight against the “order of things,” those who are ready to give a discount against the logic of profit are causing problems. The most interesting challenging art practices stem from the artists who don’t have as their only goal to be found on the shelves of (art) SUPERMARKET. This show will present artists who enjoy rituals that surround the logic of exchange, those who enjoy bargaining, but also refuse” indecent proposal” that would compromise their critical stance. These artists confront the balanced exchange of money and art-as-merchandize by challenging the nature of power relations within these transactions. The artists who admit they need to trade art for money in order to produce new art undoubtedly show us that that the dynamic lies in exchange of ideas, visual poetics, modes and representations.

Međunarodna umetnička radionica REAL PRESENCE 6 otvorena je 21. avgusta učešćem oko 150 internecionalnih i domaćih mladih umetnika koji su tokom deset dana trajanja realizovali radove u brojnim izložbenim prostorima i na javnim lokacijama Beograda. U okviru radionice u Galeriji Remont je otvorena izložba tri italijanske umetnice: Concette Modice iz Milana, Carmen Colibazzi iz Rima i Terese Capasso iz Napulja. Tri umetnice koriste različite izražajne medije, poput fotografije, instalacije, crteža, ali ih povezuje kolaborativni rad uspostavljen tokom radionice Real Presence i reference na kulturnu sredinu u kojoj se nalaze. Rad Concette Modice nosi naslov „Živi se samo jedan put 2#” i odnosi se na sve one izreke koje potenciraju činjenicu da se stavri dešavaju samo jedan put. Svojim radom ona dovodi do paradoksa rečenice i izreke ovog tipa beskrajno ih kopirajuci i umnožavajuci. Takođe dovodi u vezu intimno i kolektivno iskustvo, istovremeno referiše na činjenicu da je po istorijskim podacima Beograd bio bombardovan 40 puta i da svako individualno prođe kroz život veliki broj dramatičnih i teških momenata. Drugi rad nosi naslov „Pisma” i govori o gubljenu memorije i trajnog zapisa: to su pisma pisana pepelom sagorelih predmeta koji su pripadali njenoj porodici. Rad koji je realizovala Carmen Colibazzi je inspirisan susretom sa Beogradom kao specifičnom kulturnom sredinom i referira na realno i simbolično kretanje kroz ambijent grada. Ritualne akcije kretanja i šivenja čine da rad nastane kao performans / instalacija koju je realizovala u Remontu na dan otvaranja izložbe. Za svoje radove, pretežno objekte i instalacije, koristi platno i niti kojima konstruiše figure i forme koje asociraju na fragmentarne tragove postojanja i prisutnosti. Teresa Capasso se bavi fotografijom i tokom radionice u Beogradu realizovala je seriju radova sa Carmen Colibazzi, koja se nadovezuje na njene predhodne serije koje naziva „Book stories”. To su imaginarne priče koje umetnica „piše” kroz medij fotografije, dakle u ovom slučaju radi se o priči o devojci koja naga spava, sanja i šeta Beogradom. International artistic workshop REAL PRESENCE 6 was opened on 21st August and gathered around 150 international and local young artists, who realised and exhibited their works in many galleries and other public spaces in Belgrade during next 10 days. In the course of the workshop, three Italian artists Concetta Modica (Milan), Carmen Colibazzi (Rome) and Terese Capasso (Naples) exhibited in Remont Gallery. The artists used different media such as photography, installation and drawing, yet their artworks were interlinked due to collaboration they established during the REAL PRESENCE workshop and references to the local cultural environment. The work by Concetta Modica is entitled You Only Live Once 2# and refers to various proverbs insisting on the fact that things happen just once. She makes paradoxes out of such proverbs by endlessly repeating and multiplying them. She also makes the connection between the intimate and collective experience, referring to the fact that Belgrade was bombed 40 times through its history and that everyone experiences a number of hard times personally. Her other work is entitled Letters and deals with loss of memory and permanent records: these are letters written by ashes of burnt objects that belonged to her family. Carmen Colibrazzi’s work was inspired by her encounter with Belgrade and its specific cultural environment and refers to both real-life and symbolic movement through the city ambient. Ritual actions such as walking and sewing are used in making of the performance/installation realised in Remont Gallery on the exhibition’s opening day. Her works, mainly objects and installations, are using canvas and threads for making figures and forms evoking fragmented trails of existence and presence. Teresa Capasso deals with photography. During the Belgrade workshop, she produced a series of collaborative works with Carmen Colibrazzi as a sequel to her previous series entitled Book Stories. These are imaginary stories “written” by the artist through the medium of photography, in the particular case it is a story about a girl sleeping, dreaming and walking nude through Belgrade. Dobrila Denegri Concetta Modica Carmen Colibazzi Teresa Capasso Concetta Modica Carmen Colibazzi Teresa Capasso Dobrila Denegri 42 Teresa Capasso Carmen Colibazzi U kustos Miroslav Karić Izložba se bavi istraživanjem/vizuelizacijom odnosa u okviru fenomena unutrašnje spoljašnje tačnije analizom/likovnim prikazivanjem različitih uodnošavanja elemenata unutrašnjeg i spoljašnjeg prostora kroz njihove konflikte, susrete, spojeve i dijaloge. Radovi mladih beogradskih umetnica Jovane Stojanović, Ivane Stojaković i Ane Petrović realizovani kroz medij objekta/skulpture/ instalacije svaki na svoj način predstavlja specifičan doživljaj/tumačenje relacija između onoga što se najčešće definiše (ali ne i nužno) kao realno, opipljivo, poznato, otvoreno ili kao nestvarno, nedokučivo, skriveno, zatvoreno. Jovana Stojanović u seriji radova koji čine simbiozu crteža i objekta, priču o odnosu dve suprotnosti gradi na ispitivanju pre svega njihove vizuelne konfrontiranosti koju ostvaruju u međusobnoj komunikaciji. Ideja suprostavljenosti »spolja – unutra« izražena kroz likovne/skulptorske odnose/kontraste svetlo-tamno, transparentno-zasiceno, glatko-izgravirano, tesno – prostrano, otvoreno-zatvoreno, organsko-neorgansko u radu Stojanovićeve čini istovremeno i momenat njihovog zbližavanja opredmećenog u “pregovaračkom procesu” oblika i površina krajnosti od kojih nijednoj nije data prednost, nego su izmirene, učinjene jednakima, dopunjujućima i neraskidivima… Ivana Stojaković u instalaciji pod nazivom “Kocka” istraživanje relacije spoljašnje – unutrašnje, doživljava, kako sama ističe, kao preispitivanje (ne)ograničenosti i (ne)uslovljenosti čovekove slobode kako u fizičkom tako i u duhovnom smislu. Precizno dimenzionirana, ali neugledne, nerafinisane spoljašnjosti Stojakovićkina kocka jasno aludira na momenat limitirajuće/sputavajuce/ trosne/propadljive vanštine koja predstavlja dijametralnu opoziciju onome što krije njena magična unutrašnjost u koju posmtarač može da zaviri, a njegov pogled zapravo oko u susretu sa ogledalima bude multiplicirano, oslobođeno i da se kreće poput Redonovog čudesnog oka-balona prema beskonačnosti. Takva odudarajuća/suprotstavljena izvanosti, unutrašnjost ipak ne opstaje i ne postoji bez nje. Spoljašnost postaje bitna jer je fizički štiti, ali i kroz intervenciju u vidu pogleda izvana, nužna jer je ispunjava i daje određena značenja, koja kod nekog mogu da probude 18. 09 – 29. 09. asocijacije na romantičarsko nesputano, intuitivno unutrašnje oko, a kod nekog opet na onespokojavajući sistem kontrole Orvelovog Velikog brata… Ana Petrović u svom radu “Prebivališta” odnos spoljašnje/unutrašnje doživljava/promišlja kroz jedno postapokaliptičko viđenje/sliku života na zemlji. Ideju o “Prebivalištima” dobija, kako kaže, posle jednog sna u kome je Sunce nestalo sa lica Zemlje, a svetlost i bivstvovanje se preselile u unutrašnjost, uzrokujući njenu vanjsku pustoš...Realizujući je kao skulpturu/prostornu instalaciju i vizuleno je koncipirajući kao svojevrsno “drevno stanište/arheološku iskopinu” umetnica relaciju vanjskog i unutrašnjeg istražuje kroz njihovu kontrastnost, ali i istovremenu uslovljenost i povezanost u (ne)iznenadnoj zameni uloga i pozicija u kojoj su se našli. Inverzija koja je dovela u fizičkom smislu do obrta u poretku stvari, nije označila prestanak jednog i početak drugog sveta, ona predstavlja samo produžetak nečeg što je ranije već postojalo, čiju bitnost, veličinu, sjaj, formu i život će otkriti neki novi preokret ili nečija radoznalost…. Iako različiti u pristupu, poimanju unutrašnjeg i spoljašnjeg prostora, njihovog sučeljavanja, interakcije i uvezivanja, radove tri umetnice ipak ujedinjuje jedno: dovoljno su intrigantni da kod svakog ko ih posmatra ne ostave ravnodušnim ono sto zaprvao i najbolje beleži i doživljava fenomen unutrašnje/ spoljašnje tačnije pogled i maštu. Miroslav Karić Umetnice: Ana Petrović [email protected] Ivana Stojaković ivana.stojakovic@gmail. com Jovana Stojanović [email protected] 44 In curated by Miroslav Karić This exhibition deals with research/visualization of relations in the frame of the innerouter phenomenon, to be precise, investigation/figurative representation of various relationships for elements of inner and outer space through their facing, interactions and connections. The works of young Belgrade artists Jovana Stojanovic, Ivana Stojakovic and Ana Petrovic, realized through medium of object, sculpture, installations, each in its own way stands for a specific experience /interpretation of relations between what is most frequently (but not necessarily) defined as real, tangible, familiar, open or as unreal, intangible, obscure, closed. Jovana Stojanovic in series of her works creates a symbiosis of drawing and object, a story of relationship between two opposites made on the grounds of investigation of, after all, their visual confrontation realized in interpersonal communication. The idea of opposites >inner-outer<, expressed by artistic/sculptural relations and light and dark contrast, transparently-satiated, smoothengraved, narrow-wide, open-closed, organic-inorganic, in Stojanovic work you simultaneously encounter the moment of their closeness, embodied in the “negotiating process” of form and surface to the extremity, and none of them has an advantage, but are reconciled, made equal, complementary and unbreakable. Ivana Stojakovic in installation named “Kocka” “The Cube” searches for the inner-outer relations which she realizes as questioning the (un)confined and (un)conditional human freedom, both physical and spiritual. Precise dimensions, but with seamy, unrefined appearance Stojakovic’s cube clearly alludes to the moment of limited, encumbered, scruffy, decaying facade, which stands for a diametrically opposite to what its magical inside has hidden, so the observer can peek inside, a his/her look, i.e. his eye, looking at mirrors will be multiplied, released and will be free and, like Radon’s magical eye, move towards the infinity. Such differentiation/oppositeness to the outer, the inner still cannot live and exist without it. The outer surface becomes important since it protects it physically, and through the intervention of the view outside, it is necessary, for it fulfills and assigns a specific value and someone can 18. 09 – 29. 09. associate it with romantically unhindered, intuitive inner eye, and someone may have in mind a discomforting system of control with Orwell’s Big Brother. Ana Petrovic in her work “Prebivališta” “Inhabitances” experiences/conceives the inner/outer relations in one post-apocalyptic vision/image of life on earth. She gained this idea of “Inhabitances”, after a dream when she saw sun disappearing from earth sky, and light and being have moved into the inner space, causing its outer barrenness. Forming it as a sculpture/special installation and transforming its visual concept into a unique “ancient habitat/archeological excavation”, this artist researches the relation of inner and outer by means of their contrast, but at the same time simultaneously conditions and connects them into a (un)surprising exchange of roles and positions where they have found themselves. The inversion, which physically caused the reverse process in the order of things, didn’t distinguish between the beginning of new and the end of an old world. It just stands for the continuation of something that has existed before, and its importance, glory, size, form and life will be rediscovered by some new revolution or someone’s curiosity. Though different in approach, the notion of their inner and outer space and their relation to the conflict situations, encounters, connections and dialogues, these three artists’ works are united in one thing: they are intriguing in that way so no one facing them can not be indifferent which is the important thing when you want to experience and remember the phenomenon of outer/inner-the spectacle and the imagination.

Kao jednu od opcija istorijskog isčitavanja nudi „ezoterijski misaoni tok“ (sa precizno definisanom simbolikom), čijeg prisustva smo svesni samo kroz njegovu destruktivnu formu, koja po autoru i jeste osnovno obeležje istorije. Ovaj rad je jedna vrsta umetničke inicijacije koja u sebi sadrži tajnu koja je dostupna onima koji mogu da je transponuju u svome duhu, nezavisno od društvenih, fizičkih, političkih, kulturoloških i bilo kojih drugih određenosti.

It offers a possibility of reading the history as an “esoteric mind flow” (along with precisely defined symbolism), of whose presence we are being aware only in its destructive form, which, according to the author, is the main characteristic of history. This work is a kind of artistic initiation, which includes the secret available to those who can transpose it in their own spirit, independent of social, physical, political, cultural and any other determinants.

Ja i ti - Arno Oehri Arno Oehri (1962), multimedijalni umetnik iz Lihtenštajna, prvi put izlaže u Beogradu, ali ne i na srpskoj umetničkoj sceni (Međunarodna multimedijalna kolonija Tršić, 2005). Grafičar po obrazovanju, poslednjih godina se uglavnom bavi videom i digitalnom umetnosću, a radovi koji se predstavljaju u okviru izložbe ”ja & ti” nastali su upravo tokom boravka u Srbiji. „ja & ti” je mise-en-scene bazične ljudske tragedije. Dve osobe, jedna naspram druge, deklarativno izgovaraju „ja”, zahtevajući odgovor druge osobe „ti”. Zamagljena slika polako prelazi u oštar fokusirani lik 2 oponenta. Između dve projekcije, izloženi intenzivnom zvuku posetioci vide crno-bele sekvence scenarija prirodnog amfiteatra Kulturnog centra u Tršiću. Tenzija i unutrašnji konflikt su prisutni u Srbiji čak i danas, mnogo godina posle krvavog balkanskog konflikta. Instalacija nije povezana sa skorašnjom istorijom Balkana, ali stoji kao primer elementarnog i neizbežnog konflikta “mene” sa “tobom”. Na izložbi su bila prikazana i dva video rada „Srpska šuma” i „Srpski rekvijem” 16. 10 – 03. 11. Rođen 1962. u Lihtenštajnu. Obrazovan je kao grafičar, od 1986. radi kao slobodan umetnik. Od 1994. stvara dokumentarne video zapise u vlastitoj režiji. Izložbe: 2006. „The house”, videoinstalacija, Kunstraum Engländerbau, Vaduz, Lihtenštajn 2005.

In 2005, he participated in the International Multimedia Colony organised in Trsic. A graphic artist by vocation during the last years Oehri was mainly engaged in video and digital art projects, and the works that he showed on the exhibit “Me & You” were created during his stay in Serbia. “Me & You” is a mise-en-scene of the basic human tragedy. Two persons, facing each other, are declaring “Me” and the answer expected from the one another is “You”. A blurred image slowly comes into focus until it becomes the sharp image of two opponents. Between two projections, visitors are exposed to a disturbing sound and what they see are black and white sequences of the proscenium of the natural amphitheatre in the Cultural Centre in Trsic. Tension and inner conflict are present in Serbia even today many years after the gruesome Balkan conflict. The installation has nothing to do with recent history of Balkan’s but it stands for an example of the elementary and inevitable conflict between “Me” and “You”. Two other video installations were also shown at the exhibit – “The Serbian Forest” and “The Serbian Requiem” 16. 10 – 03. 11. Born 1962. in Lichtenstain. He was educated as a grafic artist and since 1986. he works as freelance artist. Since 1994. he creates documnetary videos.

Kao hiperaktivan autor, često se predstavljao publici pokazujući kontinuirani razvoj i dosledno prateći inovativan odnos pre svega prema materijalu. U poslednje vreme, kao zreo umetnik, dozvolio je sebi da pokaže i svoju drugu pasiju – fotografije. I kroz fotografske radove Joksimović pokazuje istu istrajnost i senzibilitet koji se vidi u njegovim skulptorskim ostvarenjima. Fotografije nastale tokom Joksimovićevog boravka u Japanu prošle godine, izražavaju dugogodišnju praksu i potrebu za dnevničkim beleškama, bez pretenzija da budu vrhunsko umetničko delo per se. Kao serijal, fotografije jasno iskazuju specifičan savremeni trenutak zemlje sa jakim i karakterističnim kulturnim identitetom. Japan je danas neobično mesto sudara tradicije i tekovina modernog zapadnog (globalnog) društva. Relativno kratak boravak u toj zemlji otkrio je autoru slike rascepa i prožimanja ovih paralelnih svetova, kao i pokušaje njihovog usklađivanja, posebno vidljive u japanskoj provinciji i gradu Otawara u kojoj je Joksimović najviše i boravio. Rodjen 1960. godine. Živi i radi u Beogradu. 1986. zavrsio Akademiju likovnih umetnosti u Beogradu. Od 1992. godine radi na vajarskom odseku Akademije likovnih umetnosti.

Kao rezultat toga nastali su ovi fotografski zapisi koji se čuvaju i odustaju od bilo kakvog strogog komentara zadržavajući pravo da budu samo deo onog ( ličnog ) sveta u kojem se upisuju i skladište osnovni likovni refleksi. 56 06. 11 – 09. 11. Photos from Japan - Zdravko Joksimović Well-known Belgrade sculptor Zdravko Joksimović is positioned on the artistic scene since the mid 1980’s, when he and a group of his colleagues started a new wave of looking upon sculpture. Being a hyperactive author, he exhibits quite often, showing continuous development, while keeping an innovative approach to the material. In recent time, as a mature artist, he decided to go public with his other passion – photography. Joksimović’s photographic works show the same persistence and sensibility common to his sculptures. Photographs taken last year during Joksimović’s stay in Japan show his long term practise and need for making diarylike records, however not burdened with pretensions to become superior artworks themselves. Presented as a serial, these photographs clearly state a specific contemporary moment of a country with a strong and characteristic cultural identity. Today’s Japan is an unusual place, where tradition collides with modern western (global) society. A relatively short stay in that country revealed images of both division and overlapping of these parallel worlds to the author, as well as attempts to harmonise these opposites, all of which are clearly visible in the provincial town of Otawara, where Joksimović spent most of his time. Born in 1960. 1986. Graduated from teh Academy of Fine Arts, Belgrade. Appointed senior lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade, department of sculpture since 1992. Solo exhibitions: 2002. “Sculptures”, Zvono gallery, Belgrade 2003. “Sculptures”, H2O gallery, Barcelona 2005. “Sculptures”, Museum of contemporary art salon, Belgrade Group exhibitions: 2003. “Positive/Negative” 44.

Art in Serbia 19892001”, Museum of contemporary art, Belgrade Contact: [email protected] The Japanese experience has only reinforced author’s wish to record some of these symptomatic scenes of “clash between the worlds”, their interweaving and equilibrium. Such a wish resulted in these photographic records, which abstain from any strict commentary, holding their right to be merely a part of a (personal) world in which the basic visual reflexes are recorded and stored. 58 06. 11 – 09. 11. Majska luča Njegoševa i Koprena Težak umetnosti (Kraljevo) 10. 11. Majska luča Njegoševa The May Light of Njegoš Petar Petrović nije ime koje se slučajno nalazi u većini primera za popunjavanje obrazaca. To jeste jedan društveni obrazac. Majska luča Njegoševa je idealna prilika da svoje umetničke fantazije utemeljimo u delu koje je u srcu naše narodne kulture, koje je dovoljno žilavo da se bori sa demonima sadašnjeg vremena. Njegoš je klasika koja ima preteču u kamenu a grane u Bogu. Aktuelnost, borba istoka i zapada, čovek i njegove dualističke prirode, muka i teskoba do konačne pobede - opstanak... Petar Petrovic is a name one may find on the most of the examples for how to fill a form application, and that is not by pure coincidence. It is a social model. The May Light of Njegos is an ideal opportunity to set up our artistic fantasies in the work of literature, which is at the hart of our national cultural past and is tough enough to fight the demons of our present. Njegos is a classic with precedents in stone and branches in God. Up-to-date qualities, the battle of East and West, the Man and His dualistic nature, the anguish and the suffering until the final victory – the survival… U filmu koji u podnaslovu ima odrednicu poetsko dokumentarni, zastupljene su biografske činjenice u istorijskom trenutku, sobi, ali provučene kroz filter fantastičnog, slikovitog doživljaja. Šest celina ili poglavlja oslikavaju Njegoševe stvaralačke faze, koketiraju sa sadašnjicom, profilišu višeslojnost ličnosti koja je kadra da bude i pesnik i vladar. Žitije u pokretnim slikama 2006. The film, which is subtitled as a poetic documentary, contains biographic facts in a historical moment, in a room, sieved through a fantastic, picturesque experience. Six parts and chapters depict creative phases; flirt with the present, presenting us with the profile of the individual that was capable of being a poet and a ruler. It is a biography in moving pictures of 2006.

Muzej je vizuelizovani sistem zbirki i predmeta, i kao osnovno obeležje ima želju za saznanjem sveta. Saznanje kao osnovna potreba čoveka i jedan od predmeta humanističkih nauka u teoriji muzejske komunikacije proizilazi iz označenog predmeta preko kojeg spoznajemo realnost ili prošlost stvarajući referentne sisteme vrednosti. Muzej - privatna/javna memorija? Kućni muzej, kao jedna lična priča, u galerijskom prostoru postaje javni fenomen, gde se privatno transformiše u javno, nudeći se posmatraču na uvid u formi male intimne muzejske postavke. Fotografije nađenih predmeta, sami predmeti i dokumenti postaju artefakti koji pored toga što su dokumenta porodične istorije, predstavljaju svedočanstvo o jednom vremenu. Arheološkim procesom arhiviranja predmeta na samom objektu Katarina Šević i Gergely László rekonstruišu prošlost koristeći privatnu istoriju porodice Šević. Sociološki i antropološki problemi nasleđa istaknuti su u prvi plan, sa posebnim akcentom na to kako jedna kuća može postati svojevrstan muzej, svedok istorijskih procesa sa slojevima nasleđa koji na najbolji način opisuju proteklo vreme. Tri sloja nasleđa, pre-Šević, Šević i post-Šević period su mnogo više od ličnih memorabilija, oni su paradigma cele jedne epohe i civilizacijskih tokova uopšte. Dokument kao artefakt? Savremena umetnost je već odavno inkorporirala savkodnevne predmete u umetničku praksu kao legitimne objekte koji sa svoje strane doprinose osećaju jačeg sintetizovanja realnosti. Predmeti iz svakodnevnog života kao dokumenti su nosioci informacija o sećanjima, objekti koji memorišu prošlost. Oni nose jaka emocionalna obeležja sa specifičnim potencijalom da u određenom kontekstu, izloženi na uvid javnosti, budu prepoznati kao nosioci kolektivnog sećanja. Oni su podjednako i lični i javni u zavisnosti od konteksta i načina na koji ih posmatramo. Pitanje nasleđa je na Balkanu oduvek predstavljalo problematično polje, što zbog različitih istorijskih i kulturoloških uticaja, što zbog pogubnih ideoloških modela. Home Museum je projekat koji se na veoma suptilan način bavi škakljivim temama kao što su repatrijacija i restitucija. Na taj način se na mikro planu kroz umetničku praksu refletkuju globalni procesi koje prevazialze uske balkanske okvire i banalnu svakodnevicu. Poseban kvalitet ovog projekta predstavlja činjenica da je urađen u saradnji dvoje umetnika koji potiču iz različitih kultura sa različitim iskustvima i upravo taj aspekt garantuje objektivnost.

Kontakt: [email protected] 62 13. 11 – 25. 11. Home Museum - Katarina Šević, Gergely László curated by Saša Janjić What is museum? A museum is a visualized system of collections and objects, whose main characteristic is a desire to comprehend the world. Comprehension, as a basic need of human being and one of the humanities’ subjects in the theory of museum communication, comes from the marked object, which enables us to recognize reality or past that therefore creates referent value systems. Museum – private/public memory? The Home Museum, as a personal story, becomes a public phenomenon in gallery space, where private gets transformed into public while offering the viewer an insight to the form of a small intimate museum display. The photographs of the found objects, the objects themselves and the documents, all become the artifacts that, besides them being the family history documents, represent the record of one period in time. Using the private history of the Sevic family, Katarina Sević and Gergely László are reconstructing the past by means of archeological process that consists of archiving objects at the very facility. The sociological and anthropological problems of heritage are brought to the foreground where special emphasis are on one house that can become a certain kind of museum, a kind of whiteness of the historical processes with all the segments of inheritance, which best describe the time that has passed by. The three segments of heritage, pre-Sevic, Sevic and post-Sevic period are much more than the personal memorabilia; they are the paradigm of one whole epoch and civilization courses in general. Documents as artifacts? Contemporary art has long ago incorporated everyday objects into the art practice, which, as legitimate subjects, are contributing to the stronger notion of reality synthesizing. Just like documents, objects from everyday life are bearers of memory information, object that memorize the past. They carry strong emotional marks with a specific potential and can be recognized as carriers of collective memory when exposed to public eye in particular context. They are both personal and public, which only depends on the context and the way we look at them. Either because of the different historical or cultural influences, or because of the destructive ideological models, the question of 13. 11 – 25. 11. inheritance was always a problematic issue at the Balkans. The Home Museum is a project that covers delicate topics like reparation and restitution in a very subtle way. In such a way, global processes that surpass narrow Balkan frames and banal daily routines are reflected through the art practice on the micro plan. Special quality of this project lies in the fact that this project has been carried out by two artists who originate from different cultures with different experiences, and that aspect alone guaranties objectivity.

Revolucija počinje porazom geometrije, imaginarnim urušavanjem «prijetećeg grada» koji usisava u spektakl svojih slika. Tada se moja pasivnost odstranjuje u kaosu fraktalne žudnje, uzvisujući ludilo nekom histeričnom gestom kojom lomim odraze u labirintu od stakla. Sve počinje hipertrofijom crteža, otvaranjem linije prema crnoj rupi koja ga zavodi, poništava i na drugoj strani izbacuje kao kretanje koje demijurški rekreira uspavani svijet, odstranjujući iluziju stabilnog toposa. U tim ću točkama naseliti svoj trag, izblijedjele znakove pisma, čija je funkcija također poraziti Euklida i njegovu surovu arhitekturu vidljivog. Opipljivost prolaza u dodiru probušenog betona iza kog se nalazi odgovori na sve konfuzije. Znam, možda nije jasno, ali, pogledaj bolje! Zidovi se moraju probijati i razbijati. Počinješ bušenjem da bi ih na kraju potpunu urušio. Sav se svijet nalazi s druge strane, u prolazu, u procijepima gdje se ukida mnoštvo i hijerarhija granice. Tijela će prestati biti prozirna pozornica za okrutnu igru disciplinirane sputanosti, pogleda koji razara taktilnu intimnost, ostvarujući se kao agresivno konzumiranje. Otvaramo se k teatralnosti afekata te raskidamo s terorom anonimnih gradova i ulica bez lica. Već sada mogu osjetiti nihilističku svečanost eksplodirajućeg svemira, raskoš njegove metamorfoze u nevidljivu materiju lišenu traume trajanja. Još samo jedan potez, jedan nervozan okretaj bušilice i novogradnja će se urušiti, a apatiju njezina izobilja nadvisit će askeza praznine. Kinetikom svoje fantazije neću pristati na poraženu gomilu bez sjećanja. Braniti ću se tamo, u tamnoj rupi koju nisi dao zazidati, u pukotini koja će metastazirati kao crno sunce što guta okoštala tijela. Da, baš tamo, u slučajnosti poteza, u nemiru jednog duha koji se ne odriče traganja za drugačijom anatomijom svog prostiranja. 27. 11 – 15. 12. Spartak Dulić rođen je 1970. u Subotici.

Kontakt: [email protected] Andrej Mirčev 66 inst R – 4... aaaa - Spartak Dulić Walls to Break I let myself play the game of dissolving the space by provoking the absent, which makes me take repeating jumps into the empty fields and time behind the walls. Revolution begins with the defeat of geometry, with imaginary fall of the “threatening city” that absorbs us into its spectacular imagery. It is then that my passivity vanishes in the chaos of fractal desire, sublimating the madness with a hysterical action aimed at breaking the reflections inside a glass maze. Everything starts with hypertrophy of a drawing, opening the line towards a black hole that seduces it, cancels it and ejects it on the other side in the form of a movement which demiurgically recreates the sleeping world, removing the illusion of a stable spot. In these spots I will settle my trace, paled graphemes intended for defeating Euclid and his cruel architecture of the visible. Tangibility of the passage in the touch of drilled concrete, behind which lie the answers to all the confusion. I know it may be unclear, but take another look! The walls must be penetrated and demolished. You start with drilling, eventually tearing them down. The whole world is on the other side, in the passage, inside the cracks where multitude and hierarchy of the border are cancelled. The bodies will stop being a transparent stage for a brutal game of disciplined restraint, a look that destroys the tactile intimacy, carried out through aggressive consuming. We are opening ourselves towards the theatricality of affects, discontinuing the terror of anonymous cities and faceless streets. I can already feel a nihilist celebration of the exploding Universe, luxury of its metamorphosis into an invisible matter deprived of the trauma of existence. Just one more stroke, another nervous spin of a drill and these new buildings will be demolished, while apathy of their plenty will be surpassed by ascesis of the void. By kinetics of my fantasy I will not accept the defeated lot without memories. I shall defend myself there, in a dark hole which you prevented from being filled, in the crack which will metastasise as a black 27. 11 – 15. 12. sun devouring ossificated bodies. Yes, precisely there, in the randomness of strokes, in the restlessness of a mind unwilling to give up searching for a different anatomy of its spreading.

Željka Momirov, Bez naziva Era Milivojević, Bez naziva 70 Marko Crnobrnja, Tatin kaiš Mobilni studio U periodu od 11. do 17. aprila, 2006. godine u Beogradu je realizovan internacionalni projekat Mobile Studios. Projekat, nomadskog karaktera, pokrenula je berlinska asocijacija Public Art Lab, a partner u Beogradu je bila nezavisna umetnička asocijacija Remont, koja je za ovu priliku angažovala jednog od najperspektivnijih mladih kustosa, Maju Ćirić. Tokom 7 dana, Beograđani su imali priliku da budu gosti neobičnog mesta, neutralnog prostora za umetničke akcije, susrete i diskusije, smeštenog na najprometnijoj lokaciji u Beogradu, uglu Knez Mihailove i Trga Republike. U pomenutom periodu u tri specijalno urađena arhitektonska objekta (kontejnera), predstavili su se kreativci različitih generacija i senzibiliteta, reprezenti tekućih savremenih ideja, kustosi, teoreticari, art zurnalisti... Mobile Studios je nakon Beograda Beogradu, svoj put nastavio ka Bratislavi, Budimpešti i Sofiji. Umetnici/učesnici u projektu: Mrđan Bajić, Žana Poliakov, Uroš Đurić, Saša Marković Ganeša, Škart, Dorijan Kolundžija, Bogomir Doringer, Maja Josifović i Dimitrije Tadić, Tobić Tobić, Pavle Ćosić i Tana, Ana Nedeljković, Mobileye, Digit group, Blink art, DezOrg, Izvanredni Bob, Šobaja... 11 – 17. april Drugačija ge(nea)ologija Mobile Studios u Beogradu je bio zamišljen kao eksperiment u javnom prostoru čiji je glavni cilj bio da se dođe do različitih ge(nea)ologija savremene srpske umetničke produkcije. Kuratorski koncept je bio baziran na tri osovine: 1. umesto da proizvodi reprezentacije, sadržaj studija je generisao iskustvo; 2. umesto da je usmeren na gledaoca, cilj projekta je bio da se posmatrači uključe kao učesnici; 3. umesto da bude rezultat ideološke interpelacije, studiji su predstavljali indeks čiste kreativnosti. Počevši prvog dana sa instalacijom novih medija i završivši se interaktvnim modelima spomenika koji nikad nisu imali priliku da budu napravljeni, usled komplikovane političke situacije tokom 90ih godina prošloga veka, Mobile Studios su bili jednistvena intervencija u javnom prostoru. Njena jedinstvenost se sastojala u specifičnom obrtu koji je svojstven većini projekata o kojima je reč. Studio za razgovor je predstavljao scenu za kreativne dijaloške forme kao što su projekat sećanja, skype ispovesti i aukcija u ilegalnoj poslastičarnici. Jednom rečju, projekat je bio baziran na estetici dijaloga koja predstavlja izazov ontološkoj ograničenosti konvencionalne umetnosti koja se bazira na objektu! Maja Ćirić 72 Gostovanja
