16th International Multimedial Art Festival - IMAF 2014
Nenad BOGDANOVIC:
As it was during the last, jubilee edition of IMAF festival, 16th International Multimedia Art Festival presented its programme in three cities of Vojvodina: Odžaci, Banatska Dubica and Novi Sad. Cooperation between MAS Gallery (Multimedia Art Studio), Formwerk (Art Zone) and SULUV Gallery (Association of Fine Artists of Vojvodina) has continued. The result of this cooperation has brought good atmosphere and excellent performances made by artists from Malaisia, Sweden, Canada and Serbia.
So, from October 7th to October 10th, performances have been realised by following invited artists: Chuyia Chia (Malaisia), Stina Pehrsdotter (Sweden), Niclas Hallberg (Sweden), Les Fermières Obsédées (Art group from Canada with: Annie Baillargeon, Marie-Pascale Picard and Marie-Hélène Blay), Danica Bićanić (Serbia), Andrijana Bogdanović-Nešković (Serbia), Radoslav Čugalj (Serbia), Dragan Vojvodić (Serbia), Saša Denić-Špena (Serbia) and Nenad Bogdanović (Serbia).
This annual festival of anti-commercial art forms remained as such this year, enforcing the project of „live art“ where focus of the work is mostly related to the artists body. As much as it hurts, global art scene is stil occupied by commercial philosophy of marketed art works. Cultural institutions and other relevant factors, in spite of decades of proving capital values of „live art“, happenings, body art, action art etc., still aren't interested in investing in art that is hard to sell. What is there to be sold when, as a rule, performing artists in their living creative sculpture, give exclusively themselves.
Quite often, their performances can be „catchy“ and draw the audience inside, as Chuyia Chia, Niclas Hallberg and Andrijana Bogdanović-Nešković did this year. Play “Marilyn in the sky with diamonds” that incorporates many elements of the theatre has been performed by three-member group Les Fermières Obsédées from Canada. Durational performance that lasted over four hours where Stina Pehrsdotter paints the maze seeds used, at the end of performance, to ask a question “Where is conciousness?”. In his first performance Saša Denić - Špena points us to many problems and bad things and events worldwide inviting us to observe, think and react. Nenad Bogdanović “writes” poetry with rose petals about the illusion of passionate dedication to a relationship that we nurture, develope and wrongly call love. Autobiographical performances were made by Dragan Vojvodić with symbols and objects leading us through turbulent events of the last decade of the 20th century and breaking of Yugoslavia; Radoslav Čugalj whom, in order to be “Survivor of transition”, uses the hammer to straighten pre-used nails, Danica Bićanić forms imaginary path with drawings, using them to „represent and uderstand walking through life experiences that transform and change her, leading her forward“.
Of great importance in realisation of this years IMAF we had support from Ministry of Culture and information of Republic of Serbia, Canada Council for the Arts and Students Cultural Centre of Novi Sad. As it was during all these years, human factor played important role in this Festival also. Special importance was given through efforts and work made by representatives of Association of Fine Artists of Vojvodina, Korina Gubik and Bojana Vlahović and representatives of Formverk (art zone): Stina Pehrsdotter and Niclas Halberg.
International Multimedia Art Festival – IMAF brings, for 16 years in continuity, important works of well known artists of „live art“ to Vojvodina and Serbia from our country and the whole world.

Nenad BOGDANOVIĆ:
Kao i prošle, jubilarne petnaestogodišnjice festivala IMAF, 16. Međunarodni festival multimedijalne umetnosti je svoj program predstavio u tri mesta u Vojvodini: Odžaci, Banatska Dubica i Novi Sad. Nastavljena je saradnja Galerije MAS (Studio za multimedijalnu umetnost), Formverk (art zone) i Galerije SULUV (Savez udruženja likovnih umetnika Vojvodine). Rezultat ove saradnje je ponovo doneo dobru atmosferu i izuzetne performans radove umetnika iz Malezije, Švedske, Kanade i Srbije.
Tako su od 7. do 10. septembra 2014. svoje performans radove realizovali sledeći pozvani umetnici: Chuyia Chia (Malezija), Stina Pehrsdotter (Švedska), Niclas Hallberg (Švedska), Les Fermières Obsédées (umetnička grupa iz Kanade sa sledećim članovima: Annie Baillargeon, Marie-Pascale Picard i Marie-Hélène Blay), Danica Bićanić (Srbija), Andrijana Bogdanović-Nešković (Srbija), Radoslav Čugalj (Srbija), Dragan Vojvodić (Srbija), Saša Denić-Špena (Srbija) i Nenad Bogdanović (Srbija).
Ovaj godišnji festival anti-komercijalnih umetničkih formi i ove godine je dosledno sprovodio projekat gde je akcenat na „živoj umetnosti“ u kojem je težište rada uglavnom povezano sa telom umetnika. Koliko god to bilo bolno globalna umetnička scena je i dalje zaokupljena tržišnom filozofijom komercijalnih umetničkih dela. Institucije kulture i drugi relevantni faktori, i pored višedecenijskih uspešnih dokazivanja o kapitalnim vrednostima „žive umetnosti“, hepeninga, bodi arta, akcione umetnosti, itd., nisu i dalje zainteresovani da ulažu u umetnost koja se teško može prodati. Šta bi i moglo da se proda kada po pravilu performans umetnici, u njihovoj živoj stvaralačkoj skulpturi, daju isključivo samog sebe.
Inače njihovi nastupi često znaju da budu vrlo „zarazni“ i da uvuku u svoje predstave i publiku, kao što su to u svojim performansima ove godine učinili Chuyia Chia, Niclas Hallberg i Andrijana Bogdanović-Nešković. Predstavu “Merilin na nebu sa brilijantom” koja u svom sadržaju ima mnoge elemente pozorišta priredila je tročlana grupa Les Fermières Obsédées iz Kanade. Dugotrajni performans od preko četiri časova je rad u kojem Stina Pehrsdotter oslikava zrna kukuruza kojima, na kraju performansa, postavlja pitanje “gde je svest?”. U svom performansu prvencu Saša Denić-Špena nam ukazuje na mnoge problem i lose stvari i događaje širom sveta, i poziva nas da posmatramo, razmislimo i reagujemo. Nenad Bogdanović „piše“ poeziju ružinim laticama o iluziji strastvene posvećenosti nekom odnosu, koji negujemo i razvijamo i pogrešno ga nazivamo ljubav. Performanse autobiografske tematike izveli su: Dragan Vojvodić sa simbolima i objektima koji nas vode kroz turbulentna događanja u poslednjoj deceniji dvadesetog veka i raspada Jugoslavije; Radoslav Čugalj koji, da bi „Preživeli iz tranzicije“, čekićem ispravlja stare već upotrebljivane eksere; Danica Bićanić crtežima obrazuje imaginarni put, koje koristi „da predstavi i razume koračanje kroz životna iskustva koja je menjaju i transformišu, vode “napred”.
U realizaciji ovogodišnjeg šesnaestog izdanja festivala IMAF od izuzetnog značaja je bila podrška Ministarstva kulture i informisanja Republike Srbije, Kanadskog Saveta za umetnost (Canada Council for the Arts) i Studentskog kulturnog centra u Novom Sadu. Kao i svih ovih proteklih godina i ove godine je ljudski faktor u organizaciji festivala imao veoma važnu ulogu. Od posebnog značaja su bili trud i zalaganje predstavnika Saveza udruženja likovnih umetnika Vojvodine: Korine Gubik i Bojane Vlahović i predstavnika umetničke organizacije Formverk (art zone): Stine Pehrsdotter i Niklasa Halberga.
Međunarodni festival multimedijalne umetnosti – IMAF šesnaest godina kontinuirano, donosi u Srbiju i Vojvodinu, značajne radove afirmisanih umetnika „žive umetnosti“ iz naše zemlje i celog sveta.

BALONI / BUBBLES
LOMLJENJE / BREAKING
SUKOB / CONFLICT
Les Fermières Obsédées (Kanada / Canada)
The Farming Obsessed is a collective made up of two artists from the visual arts (and Annie Baillargeon, Eugénie Cliche).
They have created an image of group based on the wearing of a uniform being constantly evolving and changing with the process. For this the uniform Farming become, somehow, accomplices or victims of the same frame narrative qu'uniformisées because they are based in one another, causing a kind of participatory endorsement to the actions of one or from each other. A ripple effect comparable to the massive standardization and lethargy of our modern societies. With time, this logo undergoes degradation and temporality suggesting the fervor of many struggles and positions. At the edge of the picture, the image of women as represented by the wearing of the uniform serves as their material transgression they desire as the reinvention and the overthrow of the picture in all its contemporaneity.
Since 2001 the FO have presented their work in various events in Quebec, Canada, Wales, in Northern Ireland , Australia, France and Poland.
