One of the most popular exhibitions with foreign journalists during the first annual Belgrade Design Week in April of 2006 was the Ghost Project multimedia installation produced by the Mikser studio. The Ghost Project simultaneously celebrates the unfailing enthusiasm and ideas of domestic young creatives while criticizing the lack of a symbiotic relationship between designers and industry in our country.
Since there is virtually no trace of contemporary industrial design in our country, the exhibition is labled a GHOST one, showcasing virtual and realized projects of domestic creatives through innovative media such as web, computer animation, video and audio.
Playing with the impalpable quality of the object, the Ghost Project places our creative “reality” in the context of socio-economical actuality.
This abstract quality has a dichotomous function; to both illustrate the social status of the designed object in Serbia (Ghost) and bring us closer to the global treatment of the designed things as the “objects of worship” or “objects of desire”.
Conceived initially as a means of presenting still unrealized projects of the latest generation of Serbian designers, the Ghost Project has become an ongoing project, a sort of dynamic database of domestic creatives open to the public, as well as domestic and foreign media and manufacturers. One of the main objectives of this project is to turn the public’s and manufacturers’ eye to the creative potential of Serbia, as much as to motivate the authors to actively participate in creating our cultural and social milieu.

Rem Koolhaas in Belgrade
September 2003

As an iconinc figure of both the international architectural elite and modern Dutch culture, Rem Koolhaas is world renowned for his international supremacy in the field of architecture and design, Mr. Koolhaas' lecture, organized and sponsored y Mikser, informed Belgrade audiences about current architectural practice in countries where architecture and design are given active roles in building better societies.
In addition to the presentation of Koolhaas' recent works, Serbian intellectuals from various professional fields had the opportunity to interact with our guest and his team in the form of a workshop. In this forum, MIKSER set up a public debate about burning issues rising from the process of reconstructing Serbia's identity on metropolitan, national and global levels.

Enthusiasts around MIKSER, ready to share their own joyful experience of Bollywood, started to spread the word about organizing an Indian Film Festival in Belgrade at the beginning of the year. They were wondering around the city with eyes filled with flowers; sparkling film lights started following them as a pink line crossing all major squares, hidden Belgrade cafes and different apartments where the program of the festival was talked about as if it were a major battle strategy. Telephones of MIKSERs went hot, mails were running along the India-London-Belgrade track and at the end of May, everything was ready for Belgrade to share the Bollywood dream.

Objects Of Desire - Adrian Forty's Lecture
25 -28 October 2002
|
Location
Belgrade School Of Architecture
Museum Of Contemporary Art, Belgrade
Mikser was thrilled to organize the Belgrade visit of world renowned architectural historian, Adrian Forty. Design, according to Forty, encompasses not just how things look, but how they are made and marketed as well. In a very readable and well-illustrated book, Forty shows how design reflects and changes culture. His fascinating historical accounts show how modern consumer society developed. |

"Belgrade: Parallel Urbanity", Video Installation
2001
|
DATES AND LOCATIONS:
November 2001, Arthur Ross Gallery, Columbia University, NEW YORK, USA
May 2001, Break 21, Independent Young Artist Festival, Ljubljana, Slovenia
September, 2003 Vitra Museum, BERLIN
This collaborative project gave birth to the Mikser philosophy. After being engaged in numerous socially aware projects in the field of urban design, journalism, documentary film, art., the four authors from diverse continents and from newly independent states joined their studios for a series of collaborative projects that explored urban phenomena that had been neglected by mainstream media and organizations. Their diverse professional and academic backgrounds offered a variety of insights and modes of expression.
The Video installation "Parallel Urbanity" reflected the urban condition defined by systems of parasitic environments which are the result of the dialectics between parallel systems of survival and the underlying infrastructure of Belgrade. This relationship is both symbiotic and antagonistic. |
