Iz perspektive jednog kamiona / From the perspective of the truck

Izložba je prošla, a evo kako je ceo dogadjaj ,,doživeo'' umetnicki rad ,,Panic box'' :)

kako je ,,on'' to video

zvuk koji je pratio animaciju dodatno je zaintresovao posetioce

i za kišu ima rešenja :)

javno vodjenje, Srdjan i Andrej pričaju o radu ,,Panic box''

Ipak je najbolje izgledalo noću

Komentar dečaka sa balonom: ,, Dzaba joj što paniči kad nema kud'' 

The exhibition is over, and this is how the whole event was experienced by truck :)

Tim #7 Približavanje kraju / Team #7 Coming to an end

Marika je juče posetiocima objašnjavala ideju svog rada kao i priču koja se krije iza, što je posebno bilo zabavno mališanima koji su imali priliku da i sami pomeraju "plutajuće svetove".

Nakon toga je sledilo javno vođenje od strane Srđana i Andreja koje je, uprkos kiši, bilo veoma posećeno. Kada su došli do našeg kontejnera, Andrej je dao uvodnu reč oko same izrade rada te je prepustio reč Mariki koja je znatiželjnoj publici ispričala kako je došla na ovu ideju i zbog čega je ona značajna. Publika je bila veoma zadovoljna Marikinom pričom, kao i samim vođenjem. 

 

U ranim jutarnjim satima Marika je napustila Beograd, a njen rad će još danas biti izložen u okviru Mikser Festivala. Ovo nezaboravno druženje svi ćemo pamtiti kao jedno predivno iskustvo.

Yesterday Marika explained to the visitors the idea of her work and the story behind it, and it was particularly fun to kids who have had the opportunity to move the "floating worlds."

After that, a public guidance followed which was led by Srdjan and Andrej and it was well attended, despite the rain. When they came to our container, Andrej gave an opening statement about the making of the artwork and Marika continued with telling the curious audience how she came up with the idea and why it is important. The crowd was very pleased with Marika’s story and therefore guidance.

Marika left Belgrade early this morning and her artwork will be on display today at the Mikser festival. This will be remembered as a wonderful experience and an unforgettable adventure.

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...

Kafa sa tehničarom/ Coffee with the technician

Jutro je i pada kiša, Nemanja i ja se nalazimo sa tehničarem Nešom na jutarnjoj kafi.  Amalija, nestrpljivo iščekujući ishod našeg dogovora, u stalnom je kontaktu  sa nama putem telefona.  Sve troje naravno imamo gomilu pitanja na koja Neša strpljivo odgovara iako je, sigurna sam, bar nekoliko puta pomislio da se šalimo. Na primer, veoma ga je razveselilo moje superinteligentno pitanje: ,,A koliko košta ekser?'' Ipak, sve je lakše kada se razgovara sa profesionalcem. Konstrukcija će biti zaista ,,Panic box.'' Crna drvena  kutija na čijoj zadnjoj stranici se projektuje animacija S obzirom na to da smo se oko svega dogovorili,  sada možemo bezbrižno da rešavamo dalje obaveze, zadovoljni  ishodom sastanka sa tehničarem i bogatiji znanjem o tome koje su sve ,,mogućnosti'' drveta.  :)

Nemanja i Neša prave skicu konstrukcije

A rainy morning, Nemanja and I are meeting with Nesha, technician, for a coffee. Amalija is in touch with us over the phone, eager to know the outcome of the plan. We have a bunch of questions that Nesha answers patiently, although he was probably a couple of times thought that we are joking. For example, he was very amused by my extremely ‘’intelligent’’ question: ‘’ how much does it cost spike? '' However, everything is easier when you talk with a professional. Since we all worked out, we can safely continue to solve our further obligations, satisfied with the outcome of the meeting with and with additional knowledge about the possibilities of wood. :)

Počeci druženja tima br. 2 / The beginnings of team ‘’ No.2’’

Nakon prvog sastanka sa svim timovima koji se održao 29. aprila u Mikser House-u, članovi tima broj 2 koji čine umetnik Nemanja Nikolić, kustoskinja Amalija Stojsavljević i saradnica kustosa/dokumentarista Tanja Đorđevic, odnosno ja. Još uvek pod euforijom od prethodnog sastanka gde smo čuli ideje svih timova, nastavili smo druženje u galeriji U10 gde Nemanja radi. Kako to već obično biva pri svakom upoznavanju, dok smo povezali ko koga sve poznaje i ko je gde radio, postajalo je sve jasnije da će tim funkcionisati opušteno i bez tenzije. Nemanja nas je upoznavao sa svojom idejom za Mikser. U pitanju je  animacija inspirisana scenom iz filma ,,Ptice’’ Alfreda Hičkoka, konkretno –  scenom sa glavnom junakinjom u govornici. Zaintresovane ovom temom Amalija i ja smo ga maltretirale sa gomilom pitanja u vezi sa radom. Nemanja je strpljivo odgovarao, iako je bilo vrlo jasno da smo mu se popele na glavu, stoga, mala oda Nemanji na stprljenju. :)

Nakon završetka prolećnih praznika naš tim se 6. maja ponovo okupio u Mikser House-u. Raspoloženi i entuzijastični članovi tima su se nakon kraćeg odmora ozbiljnije posvetili projektu. Razmatrali smo i osmišljavali šta nam je sve potrebno za izložbu. Kao što i svaki iole dobar plan mora da se najpre formuliše, i mi smo proces izložbe postavili na papir. Amalija i ja smo pisale, a Nemanja je shodno svom interesovanju, naravno, crtao :) Došli smo do zaključka da kamion mora da se pokrije i da se napravi konstrukcija poput cirade za kamion koja će sama po sebi praktično dati iluziju telefonske govornice. Popisivali smo potrebni materijal, a kasnije davali ideje kako bismo mogli to da nabavimo. Od početne tačke na papiru, kada je sve još uvek izgledalo teško izvodljivo, do druge kafe u već radnoj atmosferi Mikser House-a uspeli smo da pronađemo veliki broj rešenja.

Kako bismo lakše vizuelno zamislili celu postavku, došli smo na ideju da obiđemo lokacije gde će biti smešteni kamioni. Podstaknuti entuzijazmom, a i velikim brojem ideja, sve lakše smo nalazili rešenja za nedoumice koje su nas u pocetku kočile. Počeli smo da radimo i stvaramo kao tim, sve nestrpljiviji da realizujemo rad :)

Following the first meeting with all the teams which was held  29.04.2013 in MixerHouse, members of team ‘’No 2’’ which consists of Nemanja Nikolic (artist), Amalija Stojsavljević (curator) and  Tanja Djordjevic, myself(associate curator / documentary), still under the euphoria of the previous meeting where we heard the ideas of all teams, we  continued to socialize in the gallery ‘’U 10’’, where Nemanja is working. As it is usually the case when we first meet somebody, we talked about who knows the same people and we exchanged our previous experiences, and it soon became increasingly clear that the team would operate in a relaxed and tension-free atmosphere. Nemanja told us about his idea for the Mixer festival. It is an animation inspired by a scene from the film, ''The Birds'' by Alfred Hitchcock, particularly the scene with the main character in a phone booth. Amalija and I took great interest in this issue, tortured him with a bunch of questions about the work, to which Nemanja patiently answered, even though it was very clear that we tired him, so we wish to thank him for his unbelievable patience :)

After the end of spring break,on the 6^th of  May, our team was brought together again in the ambient of Mixer House. After a short break, full of enthusiasm and in high spirits, team members became more serious  and committed to the project. We considered all the things needed for the project. Since every good plan needs to be precisely brainstormed, we put the whole process  on paper. Amalija and I wrote, and Nemanja , of course, drew:) We came to the conclusion that the truck has to be covered and that we need to create structures such as tarpaulins for trucks, which itself will practically give the illusion of a phone booth. We decided on the necessary material s, and then we talked about ways of getting them. Although it all seemed hardly possible at the starting point, after only a few hours, in the working atmosphere of  Mixer House, we managed to find great number of solutions.

In order  to visualize  the entire setting, we came to the idea to visit the locations where trucks  would be located . Inspired and motivated, we  easily found solutions to dilemmas that initially held us back . We started to work  and create as a team,  excited and impatient to implement the project :)

Prvi susret tima 3 / The first meeting of the Team 3

Nekoliko dana posle prvog zvaničnog susreta svih timova u Mikser house-u 29. aprila , tim 3, koga čine umetnica (snimateljka, direktorka fotografije) Bojana Andrić, kustoskinja Kristina Grebenar i ja, saradnica kustoskinje Anđela Milinković, se našao u jednom foto-studiu u 

 Zemunu, da se malo bolje upozna i da započne uobličavanje inicijalnog Bojaninog koncepta.

                                                                       Bojana i Kristina

                                                                           Bojana

Prvi susret, kao što i dolikuje, je prošao manje radno a više opušteno. Kristina i ja smo se našle ispred Madlenianuma, i zajedno otišle do Bojaninog studia „Omnibus”.

Studio se nalazi u živopisnoj zemunskoj uličici, sa pogledom na kej. Unutra ima million čuda, gomila nekih kamera, reflektora, presa, mračna komora, instrumenti… pravi kreativni haos.

Pošto smo Kristina i ja ispipale sve te zanimljive stvari, i usput zapitkivale Bojanu čemu ovo ili ono služi, sele smo sve tri da porazgovaramo o dva Bojanina koncepta koja je imala u vidu za predstojeću izložbu. 

Jedan bi se bavio čuvarkućama u Savamaloj, a drugi bi bio transformisanje kamiona u kameru opskuru. Obe ideje su nam, svaka na svoj način bile zanimljive, ali je i Bojani, i Kristini i meni, koncept velike kamere opskure postavljene u Savamaloj bio daleko intrigantniji i veći izazov. 

Pričale smo neko vreme o mogućoj realizaciji tog koncepta, javila su se neka pitanja o tehničkim aspektima te realizacije, zabeležile smo neke najvažnije dileme koje se tiču ovog projekta, a na kraju smo čak i među sobom raspodelile prve obaveze.

Trebalo je napraviti tačan matematički proračun na osnovu koga bi kamera opskura bila funkcionalna, i taj deo posla čekao je Bojanu. Kristina i ja smo u sledećih par dana bile zadužene da napišemo kratak info ovog rada tj. najavu za novinare i da po Bojaninom javljanju tačnih proračuna, krenemo dalje putem realizacije projekta.

Krenulo je super zanimljivo i opušteno, a bogami i aktivno!

 

A few days after the first official meeting of all teams in Mixer house on 29 of April, a team number 3, consisting of artist (director of photography) Bojana Andric, curator Kristina Grebenar, and I, associate curator Andjela Milinkovic, was in a photo-studio in
 Zemun, where we got together to meet each other a little bit more and to start shaping the initial Bojana`s concept for the exibition.
The first meeting, as it should be, was more relaxed then hard-working. Kristina and I met each other in front of Madlenianum and together we went to Bojana`s “Omnibus” studio.

The studio is located in a picturesque alley of Zemun, overlooking the quay. The studio was full of wonders, lying around there were a bunch of cameras, lights, presses, one darkroom, instruments ... and so on… a real creative chaos.
Kristina and I kept asking Bojana what this or that thing is used for, and after we satisfied our curiosity, all three of us started to discuss two concepts that Bojana had in mind for the upcoming exhibition.
One of two concepts deals with guard-houses in Savamala and the other concept would be to transform the truck into a camera obscura. Both ideas sounded great to us, but Bojana, Kristina and I, finally decided that the concept of a large camera obscura installed in Savamala was far more intriguing and challenging.

We talked for some time about a possible implementation of this concept, there have been some questions about the technical aspects of the implementation, we have written down some of the most important dilemmas relating to this project, and in the end we even have split some assignments among us.
We had to have an exact mathematical calculation based on which the camera obscura was to be functional, and that part of the job was waiting for Bojana. Kristina and I in the next few days were in charge to write the brief info of this work, that is , a short announcement for the press and to the emergence of Bojana`s accurate calculation, we were about to continue with the process of project realization.
Project started in a super interesting and relaxed way, but also in a very active one!
