VENICE ART BIENNIAL 2007

“TEMPORARY ART INTERVENTIONS AS AN URBAN PLANNING STRATEGY, CASE OF MOSTAR”
with the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation and German Study Center Venice

On the occasion of the opening of the 52nd International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia, the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation presented three artistic projects, one of them „Mostar 2007“, as strategies for urban development under the motto “Bauhaus ArtInterventions”. The projects have been discussed with Mrs.Ute Meta Bauer, Director and Associate Professor, MIT Visual Arts Program, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge; Mr.Okwui Enwezor, Dean of Academic Affairs and Senior Vice President, San Francisco Art Institute, Mr.Veselin Gatalo and Mr.Nino Raspudic, Urban Movement Mostar.

The presentation of the project aimed to introduce several temporary artistic interventions created and developed by the project team and activated on ground by the help of a local organization for showing the possible leading effects of the temporary art interventions as a tool for a sustainable urban planning approach which takes local aspects as well as glabal issues into its account for a further step. Mostar 2007 in this manner defines a unique example of an intervention which aims to heal a divided city after an ethnic war by using a neutral transformation catalyst.
