Gorica
Mojovic, a member of the Executive Board of the Belgrade
City Assembly who is in charge of culture, Bojan Bem,
the President of the 45th October Art Salon Council, Anda
Rottenberg, the Art Director of the 45th October Art Salon
and Danica Jovovic Prodanovic, a member of the 45th October
Art Salon Council and the General Manager of the Belgrade
Cultural Centre, addressed to the journalists and visitors
present at this press conference.
It
was made public that this year's 45th October
Art Salon - Continental Breakfast, Belgrade -
was the first event to be held within an ampler project
that had been presented at the first forum of CEI held
in Venice in June 2003. This project comprises a series
of cultural events that will be held in various European
cities. Anda Rottenberg presented a list of selected artists
whose works will be exhibited at the 45th October Art
Salon. She explained that her selection had been limited
by the number of participants and the very concept of
the Salon. She added that a number of submitted art works
had not entered the selection, because they did not respond
to the demands of the concept. Several domestic artists
were on the list. They were invited directly by Mrs Rottenberg,
who had based her decision on their international reputation.
Around 60 authors, a half of them coming from Serbia and
Montenegro, while the other half from various foreign
countries, will display their art works at the 45th October
Art Salon - Continental breakfast, Belgrade.
The Salon will be held on various locations: the "25th
May" Museum, the Art Gallery and the "Artget"
Gallery of the Belgrade Cultural Centre, the Gallery of
the Faculty of Fine Arts (FLU), the Gallery of the Association
of Fine Artists of Serbia (ULUS), the House of Legacy,
the Belgrade Public Baths, the "Veljkovic" Pavilion
and other venues around the city suitable for site specific
projects. Although each venue is imagined a separate theme
segment, it will strictly follow the main concept of the
Salon - "Continental Breakfast".
