ART klinika / ŠOK GALERIJA

Dva umetnika, Saša Marković Mikrob (Beograd) i Mixup (Nottingham, Engleska) su među malobrojnim koji koriste foto-automat kao umetnički medij. Da bi radili zajedno, Mikrob i Miksap se sastaju svake godine naizmenično u Srbiji i Velikoj Britaniji. Prva zajednička akcija se odigrala daleke 1989 u Srećnoj galeriji Studentskog kulturnog centra. Ovogodišnja akcija se odvija pod zajedničkim naslovom THE FACE FITS THE STORY (LICE ODGOVARA PRIČI).

THE FACE FITS THE STORY, 2004
A collaboration between Mixup and Microbe
Mixup first visited Belgrade in 1990 to meet Sasa Markovic and create some artworks together using photobooth machines. We both also like to use masks in our work. After this meeting we continued to work together sometimes in Belgrade and sometimes in the UK. Using techniques like painting and collage we have developed a style which combines our use of colour, faces, creatures and strange settings.
At the beginning of 2004 we started this project by sending each other little paintings, photo's, collage and whatever. We add to it, or rearrange it and send it back. We keep it to an A4 size for convenience. I scan the pictures and photocopy them at various stages as we go along for documentation. The finished work can then be enlarged and effects added on a photocopier.
