ANA MILOVANOVICH
Belgrade, Serbia
1 + 1 = 3
( or
THE NORTH IRELAND + KOSOVO = THE SOUTH OSETIA)
Dedicated to current British politicians!
Performance is about antagonism existed in any
person and any nation - good and evil.
It is more about our courage to think free, without
fears that we should be recognized as un political
incorrect, conservative, primitive and stupid (yet!)
person.
It's one bloody story, not about people and
teritory, but about the justice and the unjustice,
about powerfulls and powerless... It is about the
history and the future not only of Serbia, Britain
and Russia but the World too. Becouse, nothing is
so far away, each debalance makes new ones, theirs
make new ones etc. We are connected infinetly, like
or not like it.
The body of Ana Milovanovi_ is as modernistic
universal object and as body in function of
postmodernism fetish. Heroic, erotic body is
object provocates your prejudices in differents
ways. Potential energy of artist body becomes
social energy , radical critic in concret political
curcumstances in Serbia and in the world! The
performance of Ana Milovanovi_ tells us
unconfortable thrue: the body of the Other, it could
be the body of Mine, one day not so far.
Through communication and interaction with Ana in
performance, you could check your prejudices about
your and the others nations.
Let's together work hardly to safe fragile humanity
exists in all of us. Performance prays for it.

STEVE BURGESS
THE SIDINGS OF THE MIND
An exhibition of the artwork of Steev Burgess
Each day our minds are bombarded with images and
scenes over which we have little or no control.
These scenes look real but often, they are
constructs.
It can start with an advert in the morning paper
read over breakfast, it continues perhaps with a
shop window display of mannequins in the high street
or on billboards at the station.
In the antique shop, there is a collection of random
and disconnected objects from different eras, thrown
together as if in a dream.
For a number of years, Steev Burgess has created a
visual poetry of images torn from such places. "
Recycling reality" a term he coined many years ago,
best describes his method.
The subject matter though, deals with memory, loss
and longing, These pictures are "windows on the
soul" or "windows of escape" he says, and they
reveal dreams, desires and fears, fading hopes and
memories.
Questions are posed, "Where do the steam trains go
when they disappear from our thoughts?" "What do the
sidings of our mind look like?" "Will I ever take
that woman down from the pedestal?" and "How thin is
the veneer of reality?"
The pictures are the artists answer, but are they
correct?

JUNIPER DAUMER
Juniper Daumier's work explores how people and
objects inhabit spaces following a vision, which is
often dramatic, sometimes staged, but follows no
single recipe. His direct approach aims not to
elevate or distort realities but incorporates the
possibilities of storytelling. Daumier's recent
series 'The Parable of the Shower' cuts from
bathroom scenes to prayer meetings, abandoned
objects to revered ones.

the poetics of excrement.
IO1 BURNT PAPER PLATES focuses on pre-digestive
remains, stains of food on paper plates burned and
in other ways manipulated to make them more
beautiful.
IO1 BURNT PAPER PLATES are presented in this
exhibition - for their beauty and for the
transformative act they represent.

to make a paper plate art
to take it away from a knife and fork

behind; like the celebrations of art and religion

scatological miniature.
STEVE RUSHTON studied art at Kingston Polytechnic
in the early 1980's. He then worked as an artist and
exhibited regularly until 1993, stopped, studied and
taught art history for 10 years, then started again.
