The project Urban pockets of Belgrade deals with abandoned urban spaces with the aim of including the local community in their improvement and activation based on the principles of sustainable design. With an appropriate intervention these spaces can become part of daily life of local residents and present an important contribution to the overall quality of life in the neighborhood.

This week we visited and enjoyed Mixer Festival which held place in the Belgrade quarter of Savamala for the first time this year. During the Festival many otherwise unknown or not'visited locations in Savamala were refreshed and open for the public. The most important among them is certainly the building of the Belgrade Cooperative in Karađorđeva street. You can still visit the Festival and all its events for free today and tomorrow, since it closes June 2nd.  You can also take a look at our photographs and impressions from Mixer on our Facebook album.

Autor ove duhovite skulpture je Florentijn Hofman. Postavljena je u okviru ovogodišnjeg Openart bijenala u mestu Öreboro u Švedskoj.

Čak 13 metara visoka skulptura na neobičan način pokreće pitanja razmere i vizure u javnom prostoru, preuzimajući ulogu novog repera i središnjeg motiva trga na kome je postavljena. Još fotografija dostupno je i na sajtu designboom.

Upravo su predstavljeni novi predlozi za čuveni tzv. četvrti postament na Trafalgar skveru. Ovaj postament, podignut sredinom XIX veka sa ciljem da se na njemu postavi uobičajena statua monarha na konju, a koji je sticajem različitih okolnosti ostao prazan, korišćen je na različite načine, da bi se već duže vreme na njemu smenjivale postavke dela savremene umetnosti. U okruženju odmerenog klasicističkog nasleđa, skulpture koje se smenjuju na četvrtom postamentu uvek predstavljaju kulturni i prostorni incident, provokaciju, često na granici dobrog ukusa. Aktuelne predloge procenite sami - da li su izvanredni primeri savremenog umetničkog izraza i vešti prenosioci ključnih poruka, ili nemaštoviti i vulgarni odrazi potrošačkog društva.
