Proyect Jaume Sabartes, 2005. Barceelona

 This piece was born from my encounter with this public space (Plaza Jaume Sabartes) that was close to my house and it was a strange and ackward space. After some research we discovered that the Picasso Museum expropiated the area to extend the museum. That has happenned in 1996 and at this moment in time (2005) nothning was done, people lost their houses and the space was a wasted area in downtown Barcelona.

The project presented at the II Games of Ephimeral arts in Barcelona gave the neighbours and option to present their thoughts and ideas about this space.The results were sent to the local goverment for consideration.

Talking to my mother, 2004. Serbia.

 This is probably my first oficial public intervention where I tried to get to the street the installation done for the Yugoslavian Biennial 2004. I wanted to convey my primal idea about What unifies different cultures using their oral tradition. The first project took place in Toronto as an installation of drawings based of my exploration of Chinese, Spanish and English proverbs. As a result of that work I was invited to present the work in the biennial using the proverbs common to serbians, croatians and kosovars.

 

Exchanging my drawings with people in the streets of Belgrade for a proverb.
