KUSTOS KAO FOTOGRAF: OTVARANJE IZLOŽBE
CURATOR AS PHOTOGRAPHER: THE EXHIBITION OPENING 

Tim #1 Postavka i izložba/ Team #1 Installing the artwork and the exhibition

Na dan otvaranja Mikser Festivala, rano ujutru, okupili smo se da bismo postavili instalaciju koja nosi naziv E=>1/2/3. Majin tata je bio glavni za izvođenje radova i zato smo mu veoma zahvalni. 

Takođe, jastuk je izgledao bolje nego što smo očekivali pa su neki želeli odmah da ga „isprobaju”. 

Postavljanje je prošlo uspešno, pa smo na dan otvaranja imali gotov rad uz dodatak izvođača koji su udahnuli život ovom projektu. I njima smo veoma zahvalni, pogotovo u momentima kiše i vetra kada nije bilo najzahvalnije biti napolju.

S obzirom na vremenske (ne)prilike, nekoliko puta smo pomerali rad iz magacina na otvoreno, pa se od danas nadamo da će nas vreme „poslužiti”. 

U timu su se takođe dogodile neke nesuglasice koje su u fazi rešavanja i mi se nadamo da ćemo uspešno privesti ovaj projekat kraju u narednih par dana…

At the opening day of the Mikser Festival, early in the morning, we gathered in order to set up the installation entitled E => 1/2/3. Maya's dad was in charge of the works, so we are very grateful to him.
Also, the big pad looked better than we expected and some immediately wanted to "try it out".
The setup had successfully passed, and we did everything before the opening with the addition of the performers who gave life to this project. We are very grateful to them, especially at times of rain and wind when it was not very rewarding to be outside.
Due to weather conditions, we moved the artwork several times from the warehouse to the open, and as of today, we hope that the time will be favorable.
The team is also facing some difficulties as conflicts arose and we are at the stage of resolving the problems and we hope to bring the project to a successful end in the next few days...

I...počelo je! / And...it started!

Iako je postavljanje izložbe dva dana pred otvaranje bilo haotično i zaista u nekim trenucima naporno, ipak je sve bilo spremno za samo otvaranje. Naša kamera opskura funkcioniše baš onako kako smo zamislile, i prvi dan izložbe već smo uspele da eksponiramo i prvu fotografiju – jedan od 6 prizora Savamale koji će popunjavati 6 praznih ramova okačenih na jednoj stranici kamiona. Naš Petar volonter nam dosta pomaže u tome da za vreme trajanja izložbe sve teče po planu, objašnjavajući posetiocima srž ovog  rada, kao i način na koji ga treba „konzumirati”. Moje ushićenje oko ovog rada je najviše bazirano na činjenici da  nastajanje našeg rada i dalje traje, ono nije završeno otvaranjem izložbe. Sa nestrpljenjem čekamo svaki naredni dan da vidimo kakva je nova fotografija onog prizora Savamale koji  taj dan kadriramo!

Although the set up of the exhibition two days before the opening was chaotic and at times really exhausting, at the end everything was ready for the official opening. Our camera obscura works exactly as intended, and on the first day of the exhibition we have managed to expose the first photograph - sight of one of the 6 chosen scenes of Savamala. With those photographs we will fill up six empty frames which are hanging on one side of the truck. Our volunteer Petar is helping us a lot during the exhibition, in order to make sure that everything is going according to plan. He also explains to visitors the core of this work, and the way it should be "consumed". My elation over this work is mostly based on the fact that the creating of our work is still in process, it was not ended with the opening of the exhibition. We are waiting enthusiastically for each day, to see how does our new photograph of the scene in Savamala look, the one which we are framing , on that specific day!

TIM #4 / TEAM #4

1 DAN DO OTVARANJA IZLOŽBE
1 DAY LEFT UNTIL EXHIBITION OPENING

Plutajući svetovi / Floating worlds

Juče je, posle prethodnog dana nezgoda i odlaganja, otvoren Marikin rad za publiku koji nosi naziv „Plutajući svetovi“. Pored rada „Put svile“ Nemanje Čađe, i Marikin rad je fiksiran što se ispostavilo kao sjajna karakteristika. Naime, kako su vremenske prilike bile nepovoljne, ostali radovi su prebačeni u magacin gde su izloženi „tik“ uz bazar i koncertnu binu, dok je Marikin rad je ostao napolju, blizu mosta, gde čak i pruža zaštitu prolaznicima od kiše.

Postavka iz kontejnera*

Od velike pomoći bila je volonterka Dragana Ljubenović koja je pomagala u postavljanju instalacije. Ona nadgleda postavku i upoznaje posetioce sa njenim sadržajem. Timski rad se i u ovom slučaju pokazao kao najplodonosniji, a i najzanimljiviji.

Marika, Andrej i Dragana*

Yesterday, the day after the accidents and postponing the opening, Marika's work, entitled "Floating Worlds", was opened for the public. Like the artwork "Silk Road" by Nemanja Cadjo, Marika’s work is also fixed which turned out to be a great feature. In fact, as the weather was unfavorable, other artworks were transferred to the warehouse where they were set close to the bazaar and the concert stage, while Marika's work remained outside, near the bridge, where it even protects passersby from the rain.
The volunteer Dragana Ljubenović was of great help, she assisted in setting up the installation. She oversees the setting and introduces visitors to its content. Teamwork in this case, proved to be most fruitful, and very interesting.

Postavka rada Panic box! / Setting of the art work ‘’Panic box’’!

Juče i danas ste imali priliku da vidite kako izgledaju govotovi i spremni radovi na kamionima. Međutim, proces postavke je bio  dugačak i naporan,pa ipak isplatilo se :) Dan pred otvaranje, kamioni su stigli rano ujutru i svi timovi su došli da provere da li su dobili dobar kamion.

Akcija počinje! Kamion je parkiran, proverili smo kako se namešta ograda od prikolice i sad  “trk” po materijal. Nemanja i ja sa prevoznikom po drvene ploče, dok Amalija ide po autolak i crnu foliju. Ovaj materijal nam je potreban kako bismo oblepili i ofarbali svaki deo podupirača ,,kutije'' koji nisu već u crnoj boji.  Sav materijal je prikupljen i dovezen u zgradu NELT-a gde su parkirani kamioni.  Sad nas čeka ozbiljan posao.  Majstori su tu da pomognu, ipak, i nas troje smo imali pune ruke posla. Nemanja je sa majstorima nameštao konstrukciju, dok smo Amalija i ja farbale grede i išle do radnje kad nešto zafali. Predveče smo povezali zvučnike i projektor i tada nam je laknulo –  celokupna instalacija izgleda upravo onako kako je planirano! Ostalo je samo sa nestrpljenjem da sačekamo otvaranje  izložbe. Ako  još uvek niste posetili Mikser  svakako vas pozivamo da to što pre učinite i vidite ishod napornog rada svih timova :)

Čekanje kamiona u 7:00 ujutru 

Kako dovući sad ovolike ploče..

                                                                 Ma šta je to za njih....

                                                           Amalija mi pokazuje ,,grafiti'' tehniku 

                               Postavlja se kutijaa....                                          Krov konačno!

                                                           Ostali su još samo detalji...



Today and yesterday you had a chance to see how artworks on truck look like when everything is already done. However, the process of settings was long and tiring, but it was worth it :) The day before the opening of the Mixer festival, the trucks arrived early in the morning and all the teams had come to check if they got a good truck.

Action begins! The trucks was parked and we are checking how it works fence of trailers, now we are running to get the materials. Nemanja and I went to take the wooden panels while Amalija went to pick up the black paint and black foil. This material we need to make every part painted, box'' which are not already in the black. All the material is been collected and transported to the building NELT where the parked trucks. Now we have a serious job. Experts are here to help, however, and the three of us were extremely busy. Nemanja has adjusted the construction with the craftsmen, and we Amalija and I painted the planks. Everything is finally over and the whole installation looks exactly as we planned! Now we just have to wait the opening of the exhibition. If you have not visited the exhibition yet, we invite you to do so soon as possible and to see the outcome of the hard work of all teams :)

Tim #7 Kontejner je stigao! / Team #7 The container has arrived!

Pre neko jutro smo se članovi tima broj 7 i ja uputili ispod Brankovog mosta ne bismo li dočekali kamion koji je prevozio kontejener, a predstavlja bazu Marikinog rada. Malo nakon što je kamion stigao, hitro smo se uputili ka njemu da bismo proverili da li je kontejner isporučen u stanju kao što je dogovoreno. 

Ubrzo posle toga, krenuli smo sa davanjem instrukcija o tačnoj poziciji koji će zauzeti, a naišli smo na dobru saradnju sa vozačem kamiona koji nam je preparkiravao kontejner nekoliko puta i svakom ponaosob pokazivao kako se isti otvara i zatvara. 

Proces je prošao glatko i za tili čas smo bili gotovi što je značilo da je Marika imala sve uslove da počne da radi na samoj instalaciji...

A few days ago the members of the team 7 and I went under the Branko’s bridge in order to wait for the truck that was transporting the container which is the base of Marika’s work. Shortly after the truck had arrived, we quickly headed toward it and checked whether the container was shipped in the state as agreed. Shortly after that, we started giving instructions on the exact position, and we came across with good cooperation with the truck driver who was moving the container several times and showing each and every one of us how it was supposed to be opened and closed. The process went smoothly and in no time we were finished, which meant that Marika had all the conditions to begin to work on the installation...
