3rd place – Message in a Bottle

Works of art

Creators: Rebeka Monory, Patrik Kund Iván

Designed for Margaret Island, the memorial is both a memorial site and an online platform that provides access to personal stories collected on the subject. It also includes a memorial column that submerges into the Danube from time to time, a walkway and the Danube itself, which can be interpreted as a metaphor for memory. However, it is not only the one-time presence of the spectator that renders the work into a memorial, but also the planned annual events and memory collection.

WOMEN'S HOUSE PROJECT

Sanja Iveković

Workshop, multimedia installation, media work

1998 – work in progress

ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Women's House project started in 1998. Conceived by artist Sanja Iveković it is an international collaboration project realized as site specific installations and printed materials (texts, postcards, posters, etc). On occasions the project is also presented to the public through press conferences and video screenings.

The first phase of the project consists of establishing a contact with the local shelter for abused women where artist conducts a workshop in close collaboration with the women living in the shelter. During the workshop casts of the faces of the women are produced along with short life stories written by the woman themselves. The women's «masks» and texts are then installed according to the artist's concept of the installation in a specific exhibition space.

So far the collaboration has been made with The Autonomous House in Zagreb, The Fraenhaus in Luxembourg, The Bangkok Emergency Home in Bangkok, Safe House in Peje, Kosova, Casa per le donne in Genova, The Center for Women and Children in Belgrade, Vie-Ja in Utrecht and Mor Cati in Istanbul.
