Dragan Protic ("Škart") visited Gleisdorf for a first "fact finding mission". Here he sits in the town hall, meeting the city-official Winfried Kuckenberger. Some days before I did a first "digging-session" in Gornji Milanovac:

The foto is done by artist Walter Koestenbauer (Austria). The guy with the camcorder is Sergey Yugov from St. Petersburg. This session is about the "seven leaves", I had asked artist Johannes Musolf (Germany) to manufacture for me some years ago.

There is a NOTE as part of an earlier version of "next code", where you can see photographer Gerhard Gross unpack these leaves at "forum stadtpark" (Graz) in 2006.

Another "NOTE" tells about the 12th of April 2006, when historian Karl Kaser explained to me the seven nations of southern Slavs: Bosnians, Bulgarians, Croats, Macedonians, Montenegrians, Serbs and Slovenes. So the very first session with the "Seven Leaves" occured in 2006, done by Gerhard Gross: [link]

Karl Kaser will be the guy, who does the first "official" session of our "steirischer herbst"-contribution 2008: [link] This might give you an idea, how I prefere to run processes like this as a development on different levels ... over years.

"Škart & Grupa kao takva" did their first rehersals and a following live-session with local people in Unterfladnitz. First row: Gertrud Steurer, Herta Niederl-Lehmann, Sandra Bischof and Dragan Protic.

We could also see them guys work on their "kuvarice", which will be part of an exhibition in autumn. ["nove kuvarice part 1 | part 2"] The location of the coming exhibition is a really fresh place:

Nice coincidence, that "MIR" ("peace") stands for "Museum im Rathaus" ("museum at the townhall").

The "Dungeon-Master", art historian Sigrid Meister, guided us through the rooms in the cellar of the Gleisdorf town hall. You se her on the left hand:

... with our curator Mirjana Selakov and Gleisdorf official Winfried Kuckenberger.
