Najnovije! Dve knjige su pre nekoliko dana izašle iz štampe u izdanju Trećeg Trga - Priče o sreći Bojana Babića, u ediciji Sa Trećeg Trga, i Udica Zehnije Bulića u ediciji Desant. Noć, gradske ulice i neonska svetla su mi trenutno najzanimljivi motiv... | The Newest! Two books came out a few days ago, publisher Treci Trg (Third Square), Belgrade.

„Kako prezentovati književnost izvan klasične štampane i nove elektronske forme da ne bude banalno, a dovoljno jednostavno? Dobra stara formula zidnih novina koje smo kao obaveznu vežbu (skoro svi) imali u školama, malo doterana, učinila se sasvim prihvatljivom i lakom za predstavljanje. Pošto je pitanje čitanja izjednačeno sa egzistencijom duha, a u savremenom svetu potisnuto, plakatno predstavljanje književnih radova kao signal, kao poziv na avanturu u svet izvan reči, a kroz reč, učinilo nam se dovoljno izazovnim putokazom. Stoga se prvi stepenik tog putovanja pojavljuje i kao radni naslov projekta „Uramljena reč”. Konkursno izabrane tekstove dizajnerski opremiti i predstaviti kao galerijsku postavku i tako dovesti konzumenta u tačku gde se poklapaju različite umetničke senzacije i vizure, svake godine iznova, veliki je izazov.

Ideja projekta bila je ne prejudicirati nijednu poetiku, samo birati najreprezentativnije različite iskaze. To je jedan od razloga što su se među ovim koricama našli potpuno različiti i oprečni stilski izrazi: od jednostavnih lirskih zapisa, preko modernih izričito urbano-kataklizmičkih slika do futuristickih transcedentalnih putovanja.
Bez obzira u koju grupu spadaju, izabrani radovi uvek su autentični i potpuno lični. I to je bitna prepoznatljivost mladih autora novog vremena. Tragati, bez predrasuda, bez osuda i bez ideologije.
U „Reči”su se našli i oni koji nikada pre nisu objavljivali kao i oni koji imaju objavljene nekolike knjige. No, za žiri to nije imalo nikakvu važnost, donelo je samo radost da će neko posle ovog konkursa probiti čauru straha i nastaviti da objavljuje.“

White is white / txt / photos

/WHATISWHITE/

The question almost ridiculous in its seeming simplicity. White is white. A colour – the most basic of the spectrum. And that is all. …or is it?

The twenty-eight artists from the Balkans in this mixed show exhibition answer in works that traverse conceptions of white that extends beyond the mere paint box definition. The exhibition is the culmination of a journey that we, as curators, have embarked on in understanding these works in order to show them in a way that we hope will bring new light to the many ideas inherent in the concept of white. Sure, it would have been easy just to stick a bunch of white paintings up or even just to leave the gallery space completely empty á la White Cube, but that is not what you get here. Many of the works not only challenged our traditional notions of what white means, but extended our vision (and hopefully yours) of what white can refer to. While there are obvious references to white in the use of colour, what transpired through our many viewings and discussions was largely this ‘theme and variation’ concept of white as a blank slate/blank canvas that encompasses both the beginning and end – whether it be of life, a creation, or a memory. Not just from ‘dust to dust’, but something more in the emptiness, the absence, the spaces in-between – that in the white space of which can sometimes be nothing and sometimes, be absolute chaos, there is also the inherent potential for the greatest act of creation – for life and growth. And sometimes it is in these empty quiet spaces that the greatest, fullest, most incomprehensible things are so marvellously said. As in music, the greatest musicians are those that play the rests (the silences) as well as they play the notes.
Even white’s position in the colour spectrum is debate-able. Some argue it belongs at the beginning, because white itself bears no hue, and some would say it’s at the end, encompassing all the colours simultaneously. This duality in the basis of the paint box palette spills over to associations of white signifying birth and death (the beginning and the end) – white weddings in the West and babies swathed white for a new life; whereas white is the colour of death, to be worn at funerals in the East - the colour or non-colour of absence.

White ideology is also powerfully shaded by political and racial overtones. This is explicit in works like I am White and I am Ashamed by Dragana Nikolic, and in Alex Mirutzui’s The Colour of my Middleclass pair of photographs.

What is White? The question almost ridicules in its seeming simplicity. White is white. A colour – the most basic of the spectrum. And that is all. …or is it?

28 different answers to the tale of whiteness invite viewers to see that a colour has its own peculiar language, leaping far from the crayon box. And, like language, it is in the power of those that use it, to define it and make their own stories. What is white?

Terminal00 is excited to be presenting a mixed show of contemporary art works from the Balkans containing photography, paintings, design, multimedia, short experimental films and videos answering the question "What is White?" by the following artists:

Ender Gelgec, Haris Pallas, Dragan Misic, Gokhan Okur, Vania Valkova, Zacharias Mavroeidis, Marija Arandjelovic, Katarina Kaplarski, Marijana Markoska, Dragana Nikolic, Alexis Simopoulos, Ivan Hrkas, Sasa Stucin, Andjela Grabez, Leona Dodig, Jelena Telecki, Marko Stojanovic, Alex Mirutziu, Borjana Mrdja, Jelena Vivoda, Manolis Anastasakos, Elvis Krstulovic, Selena Junackov, Svetlana Jovanovic, Andrej Djerkovic and Neno Belchev.
