Tuesday 29 May - ABOUT AND AROUND CURATING AT MIKSER FESTIVAL - EXHIBITION OPENING


- The use of video as a media (narration) in order to give voice to two topics: 1) the position of a curator, or culture in general in Serbia today and 2) Savamala district as historical, artistic, urbanistic challenge of the future.

The participants of the project had an opportunity to make a video (duration 90''), according to their own criteria and technical skills, according to the two topics listed above.


- After the debut screening of the short videos, merged into one, integral video lasting 13', the participants had an opportunity to describe, rate, criticise other participant's' work. By a random choice, each participant was in the position of a critic, and just after the initial screening, had 15' to make a comment on one other participant's work in five sentences. 

The video Waiting (2012, 10' 35'') by Jelena Micić, installed from the opening of the festival, could now be correlated to the newly presented group video.

About and around curating at Mikser festival 2012 is presenting an installation: two video (art)works, space of the exhibition and the urbanistic context of Savamala.
