Once Wiese, Once Rhein, Once Birs
Object
2013 — laboratory glassware, water; 25 cm x 25 cm x 170 cm
In this artwork the three Basel rivers are connected in a vertical line.
The base is the water from Wiese, I've brought together with Franziska Schmidt not far from the bus stop "Stücki".
The second layer is water from Rhine that I filled with Sabine Saschl on the shore in front of the Tinguely Museum.
The third layer I have taken with Ines Goldbach from the Birs. We went to the bridge at Birsstrasse, next to St. Jakob stadium.
All three scope locations and Kunsthaus Baselland, including art work, relate to each other on a topographically straight line.

And what was the outcome of the walks?
Franziska Schmidt, studied the new media and media theory in Potsdam and had always to do with acting and theater, confirmed to me that Basel owes its Basel chemical industry to the river Wiese. Being a "soft" water from Schwarzwald, it was essential for dyeing and therefore Basel chemical industry.
Sabine Saschl said that Baselland Kunsthaus and Museum Tinguely were historically due to the common cultural heritage also on a line.
Ines Goldbach told me of Roman Signer artwork "Throw in the Birs" that happened some years ago on the bridge and that I'm not wrong with "my" line.

 

Fondacija Ambar
Project Foundation
current — future — info@fondacija-ambar.info, fondacija-ambar.info
The Ambar Foundation was founded by me and was registered by the Bosnian Justice Ministry on 25 November 2012.
WHY?
My family is from Bosnia. During my stays in the Balkans, I realized how culture represented in a homeopathic dose in the region, I originally come from and how little money it takes to get something moved in Bosnia. By culture I mean galleries, museums, festivals, workshops, cultural centers, youth clubs, concerts, etc.
During my education in Master of Fine Arts I received scholarships from the Canton of Zurich. All the money that I have earned on the art, I've been saving. I knew I will do something super intelligent with it.
The objectives and tasks of the Foundation are:
- Support and assistance to young artists, art students and artists,
- Assistance in funding art projects or publications,
- Spreading awareness about the importance of art in society,
- Support for inter-regional artistic and cultural connections,
- Expansion of the international artistic and cultural connections,
- Support cooperation between faculties and schools of art in the country and abroad,
- Oragnition of exhibitions, presentations, symposiums, workshops, art colonies, conferences, roundtables, donor conferences and similar events.

 

Workshop Ambar
Project
01 Sept. - 14 Sept. 2013 — Srednji Magnojević, Bosnia und Herzegovina
http://workshop.fondacija-ambar.info/
The Ambar Foundation organized this year a two-week art workshop in the village Magnojevic near Tuzla in Bosnia. The idea behind the workshop was to create art on the spot and at the same time give the opportunity to the artists from abroad and inland to meet, learn and share.
Participants: David Morrinson, Asia Kinzel, Dubravka Simonović, Igor Sredojević, Emir Mutevelić, Emina Huskić, Irena Cvetković, Dragana Branković, Momir Čavić, Vedran Karadža, Maya Minder, Seraina Renz.
The Foundation provided accommodation, food and material.
The works produced were presented at a final exhibition in the assembly room of the local school. As interaction with the population, a children's workshop originated at which 40 children were involved.

Detail:
The Junkie and the Rose
I once picked up a rose from the ground at Central Station, took it and went to wait for the number three. It was Sunday Morning. Everywhere leftovers from yesterday's Saturday night party.
From a distance I notice a junkie who is begging for coins. I'm waiting for the tram.
The junkie gets closer and just before he utters his mantra, I say,
ey sorry! I have no coin! The Junkie says, not that, look here! and shows to the ground. I look to the ground and realize a perfect circle from Rose petals around me.
Enchanted I reach into my pockets and give him a coin.
Finally, the artist should be rewarded.
