Biro Beograd

At Supermarket 2010 the project Courtyard will be presented, along with the artistic production of a group of artists, living and working in Belgrade and internationally after 2000. The project Courtyard was initiated by Ivan Petrovic, Vukašin Nedeljkovic, Nenad Jeremic, Oliver Veljkovic, Vladan Jeremic and Selena Savic.

Although these artists never formally declared themselves a group, they have, since 2000, collaborated on many joint projects and actions, often acting outside of the institutional frameworks. Happenings and events in private houses, courtyards around residential buildings, ad hoc exhibitions, theatre play productions and publication of works on the internet are some of many activities carried out by the authors in the years past.

At Supermarket 2010 drawings, photos, assemblages and videos will be presented together with the publication Courtyard with documents and artefacts from certain events, with the intention to visually illustrate and cast some light on artistic strategies, behaviour and attitudes of a part of the artistic scene in Belgrade.

Biro Beograd is an independent association for culture and communication founded by a group of cultural practitioners and artists in Belgrade in 2004. Biro wants to make room for contemporary practice in the fields of communication, media, culture, education and art.

We support, research and promote critical innovative art practice that steps beyond conventional forms of art, cultural and social research or activism in Serbia and in an international context.

Offering public platforms for discussion and presentation we encourage new cultural and activist practices appearing in contemporary society, enhance exchange between groups and practitioners from different backgrounds and countries and introduce their topics to the broad public. Biro suggests cultural practice without centres and territories

It was founded in 2004 in Belgrade, Serbia.
