UFO Belgrade
URBAN FOG OF BELGRADE

the city in the foggy quest for new urbanity

Opening: 6th November, 7pm
BIKINIHAUS in the City West
Budapester Straße 48 - 10787 Berlin

For the second exhibition in the series "Transformers" Francesca
Ferguson has invited guest curators from Belgrade, who will reflect
the present state of urban identities and hybrid architectures in
Serbia's capital city. The curators Katherine Carl, Sabine von
Fischer, Stevan Vukovic und Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss with their project
UFO Belgrade, see the city is seen here as a group of actors without
a script. After half a century of Tito's liberal communism, then
Milosevic's introverted nationalism, then open popular revolt and
desire to re-join the World, these pieces show a complex ambition
towards a 'dream' of definite positioning of Belgrade in the face of
current North Atlantic associations. The complexity of its diverse
population and history is now looked at as a burden, as a
complication in the process of European integration. UFO Belgrade
exposes an array of personal and collective analysis of the ambitions
and desires for the city to be reinvented.
