Community Art is permanent public forum and open project that refers
to aspects of contemporary life, based in personal experiences and
interdisciplinary projects and collaborative processes initiated in
1990. Community Art gathers people from different fields, which
through their own activities look at problems, paradigms and 
phenomena that the project is dealing with. Community Art is a 
permanent process of different phenomena of existence / co-existence 
/ resistance / educations. As non-government
organization it has been founded and registered in 2001.

Discursive process "Normalization / aspects, consequences,
misunderstandings, negotiations (interface, discussion, seminars)" 
has
been devised by Community Art in the context developed around the
topic of normalization by <What, How & for Whom / WHW, Zagreb,  
Rooseum Center Center for Contemporary Art, Malm”, and Platform 
Garanti Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul. The project develops 
around the topic of normalisation, a system of thinking that is 
current in various parts of the world to shape 'development' policies 
and social planning, looking at how and why we are 'normalised' as 
individuals and as a society. Normalisation has an interesting 
political history, being used by both socialist and liberal 
authorities to describe states that are in transition towards a 
defined norm. The question we want to pose is what is lost or hidden 
in this process, how are the norms determined and to what extent can 
art and culture account for or influence those developments?
