HARALD SZEEMANN

I remember when I prepared Biennale Venice 99 the bombing of Belgrade stopped the evening before the opening. We all were relieved. It cannot be possible that in Europe a people is the most hated. As a counter movement I invited two young Serbian Women artists, both sad about what Serbian had done and that Serbia was attacked. One video was just about mourning, the artist crying silently, her tears covering the face. I remember in 1983 when already Biljana Tomic was trying to give life to the Belgrade art scene I was in admiration of the youth of Serbia and the adorable, cultivated mayor of Belgrade. Now assisting to the opening of Real Presence – another lucky initiative of Biljana and her meanwhile adult beautiful daughter Dobrila – I saw the night before the opening what the intelligent and the stupid bombs did in 1999 to the city. What Biljana and Dobrila wanted and achieved wasn’t an addition to the already overloaded art agenda, it was a piece of given life to the capital of an improved nation. It was fantastic to see how the students of 28 academies of 20 countries approached the Tito Museum near his mausoleum with their bags and rucksacks, ready after a first meeting to spread out in the city taking it age, in many locations as an ideal territory for their works, actions, performances, events.

I was lucky to be there. The oldest Biennale in the world, the Venice Biennale is nowadays not only an art exhibition but an occasion and possibility for many new and old nations to show their interest in a complex and many layered Europe.

But the Biennale cannot just passively wait for the others. It has to go where the Real Presences are and be part of their energies. Thank you Biljana and Dobrila for what you gave to 300 young artists and showing them that Belgrade is alive.
