Šejla Kamerić: 1395 Days Without Red, Legat Gallery owned by Milica Zorić and Rodoljub Čolaković, Belgrade, 23th May -24th June 2012
By: Vladimir Bjeličić
Twenty years after the siege of the city and as part of Sarajevo Days Festival, Milica Zorić’s and Rodoljub Čolaković’s Legat Gallery presented an independent exhibition by Bosnian artist Šejla Kamerić ’’1395 Days Without Red’’. The title refers to the number of days the Bosnian capital was under siege, when people were advised not to wear anything red, because the snipers could immediately spot them. Šejla Kamerić is a well-known artist throughout the region, but this is her first independent exhibition in Belgrade. Locally, she has been known only by her cooperation with Uroš Đurić. Šejla Kamerić has been creating art for over a decade and is part of the regional contemporary art scene thanks to her authentic socially engaged work. She uses different media (video, photography, installations) to present traumas of war as the main topic, i.e. to present her personal experience of the military conflicts in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990’s, as well as various other processes that create or erase national identity. Her work was created during several periods, some of them even a decade ago, which makes this exhibition a presentation of her overall work.

Radmila Smiljanić: The Well, directed by: Egon Savin, produced by: Cultural Institution ‘’Vuk Karadžić’’
By: Nikola Skočajić
Probably the most interesting part of The Well by Radmila Smiljanić, is that it speaks of nationalism from a female point of view and through a female character. In a Serbian village in post-war Bosnia, Miloš and Jasmina live with his mother. She has no other name than Mother, although in this play she would be better named Mother-in-law, and she is very unhappy that the young couple do not have children. When an offer to build water supply system comes to the village, which would mean selling some family land, other family issues surface. Topic of a mixed marriage between a Serb and a Muslim, in context of selling (Serbian) land, sets off various conflicts between the three main characters in the play. Formally, The Well is a conventionally structured dramatic text, but theme-wise, The Well does not offer anything new. Furthermore, Radmila Smiljanić’s play only reproduces a number of clichés.
The Third Belgrade, Belgrade
By: Bojan Krištofić
Big city suburbs in the post-socialist Balkans are deteriorated and messy which presents, along with all the flaws of unplanned urbanisation, a sort of an oasis of slower rhythm opposite to rushed and loud city centres. Where huge blocks of buildings disappear and fast motorways run over slow and muddy rivers, it is still possible to sit down and think; to do something sensible for your community and for yourself, here far away from all the noise and fanfares – to make your own nest, quite literally. Last spring, in Belgrade’s suburbs, an unusual art association used this opportunity, which city’s urban planning calls the Third Belgrade. They chose the northern bank of Danube, Pančevački path, to create their own ‘’mental and physical space for art’’ and to discover possibility of utopia in contemporary post-transition, capitalist, post-modern social context. They opened their own gallery, work and living space.

By: Milena Milojević
Piše: Nino Kovačić
Gostujuća izvedba šibenskog HNK, Pir malograđana, prema tekstu mladog Bertolda Brechta (napisan 1919.) izvedena je po sljedećoj formuli: na Danima satire u satiričkom kazalištu Kerempuh gledamo satiričan komad. Prema reakcijama publike, bila je uspješna, ali teško se oteti dojmu da je smijeh bio formulaično zagarantiran, jer bi takav instruirani moment humora trebao zauzdati spontani smijeh. Je li se možda radilo o “malograđanskom” humoru?
Glumice i to, KNAP, Zagreb, premijera 12.5.2012.
Piše: Nino Kovačić
Glumice i to, nova predstava u zagrebačkom KNAP-u, neobičan su kazališni ‘slučaj’. Naime, predstavu su, dramaturški i režijski osmislile te, naravno, glumački ostvarile četiri mlade glumice. U trenutačnoj opće-društvenoj, pa tako i kazališnoj situaciji, kojom prijete olovni pojmovi poput recesije, prekarijata i outsourcinga (nedavno su najavljena i otpuštanja “hladnopogonskih” glumaca), one su, kako piše u najavi “nezaposlene i pune entuzijazma, odlučile su preuzeti stvar u svoje ruke i napraviti hit!”. Očito sklone postdramskom pristupu izvedbi koji se, između ostalog, bazira na ekipnoj work-in-progress metodi, izvedbenoj anti-iluziji i autoreferencijalnosti, glumice/autorice su se “trgnule” i napravile parodiju o tome kako rade predstavu, po ironičnom ključu: kad ne ide pravljenje predstave treba napraviti predstavu o tome kako se ne može raditi predstava.
