The Sunday dinner discussions, webcast live through the new media

Contemporary Arts in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The themes of the dinners

culture and community.

Project Description:

In the four-month residency and online project go_HOME, Bosnian artist
Danica Dakic and Croatian artist Sandra Sterle will explore physical,
cultural, and psychological dislocation and strategies for rebuilding
and renewal. In September 2001, the artists, two women of different
ethnic backgrounds from the former Yugoslavia who maintain homes and
careers in both West and East Europe, will relocate to New York City
to live together for four months in an experimental home. Artist
Marjetica Potr* from Slovenia and artist Milica Tomi* with theorist
Branimir Stojanovi* from Serbia, will participate in the project in
September and December respectively. The artists will utilize the
physical residence and their website*a virtual home on the internet*as
a haven for creating video and photographic projects, and as a common
meeting ground for engaging the interested public in dialogue around
issues of migration, national identity, technology, and globalization.


The project will provide time and space for highly personal reflection
and artmaking as well as public discussion from fresh perspectives not
often heard in the United States. The go_HOME website will feature
photographic, video, and sound works; recipes; a bibliography; texts
from the US and from Eastern Europe; a calendar of events; chatrooms;
and a guestbook. Each month, the artists will invite artists,
architects, scholars, representatives from immigrant service
organizations, and neighbors for. The October dinner discussion will
be point-to-point web-streamed with the Sarajevo Center for
Contemporary Arts&#8217; media lab.
