Mika back from Beograd, where she spent those tumultuous days around the 17th of february, when things changed in Kosovo and Metohia. I received messages from there, hoping, borders will stay open ... well, not for Serbians; not without visa by a disrating procedure at the embassy. But Mika could arrange a lot of the things we wished to achieve.

There will be "Led Art"-Stuff and Nikola Džafo on location, there will be the "Šok Galerija", "Škart" of course and some action in the streets and works of young serbian artists. We are spreading our steps, the moments and artifacts will be provided in Gleisdorf and in Weiz, but also in Graz. (Graz is the capital of Styria. Graz-Gleisdorf is about 25 kilometers afar, Gleisdorf-Weiz about 15 kilometers.)

The Weiz-Gleisdorf-Thing will be realized collabortaing with artist Walter Kratner. He is working on a connection with Cornelius Kolig. So we will develop a setup based on three generations of artists ... as we did with "next code: love".

Meanwhile I am in touch with the painter Hannes Schwarz, who was a close friend of Anton Kolig, the grandfather of Cornelius. This all will also be related to the roots of the "Modern Trend" in fine arts here in this region; branching out to South Eastern Europe as a quest ...

Now Reinhard Braun (Curator, "steirischer herbst") and Gerda Strobl (Assistant, "steirischer herbst") agree with the basic concept, so we gonna check the details. And the work in progress allready started of course.
