I wanted to say something important and meaningful. Than I realized that I have 6 new graphics to finish, so I did the best what is in my own interests, since I had not really something to say, but soon to show and I decided to shut up and to go work!
C U soon!

P.S. A large number of my graphics will be soon also on sale on Dawanda and eBay, since I need a new computer, so I will post you folks updated...

When you have some free time in the wilderness and few pounds of blue sand, you can use the nature - it provides almost everything you need and build something like this. If you have to survive, you might build something different, like a shelter...

For those who follow my work, this is not the evolution of my mandala series, just good old fun in the forests surrounding me during this one hot summer day in France.
Enjoy

I started today a new mandala, so when I finish it (I am not sure when) but I will post the photos. The place where I do it is in France in a castle, where I live at the moment...

degradation of the mandala

2010-08-02T11:06:00.003+02:00

Normally the mandala has to be destroyed quickly just after her making, but I decided to let the nature do the destruction part and it works and it continues and I love it and it hurts and finally I start to understand...

Money art

2010-01-27T18:09:00.003+01:00

Why making art when you can make money?
since I am an artist I struggle...
To become an artist
or a millionaire?

Can you have both? Probably not.
If I will make money, I could buy a house too,
a big, fat car...new hair maybe, new gold teethes.
Than I will have more money than I know how to use,
but I can not make art in a golden room!

If I become an artist, I will make art,
not in a house but in a public garden,
without a car, nor bicycle even, not hair or golden teethes,
but I will feel better with nothing left to lose.

Why making money when you can make art?
since I made some money I struggle...
to continue or to be an artist again!

Dear my unknown friend, money is not everything - yes we do need it, but not really.You might think I'm crazy, you might think I'm strange but this is how it is - look around you! Where are those millionaires from the XVI century? The real thing money is not! One day I will start making art again, but this text is a tribute to the "Blues brothers" - and their song "Can't Play The Blues In An Airconditioned Room"...

Cheers

the wizard of Avignon back on trail!

Like Phil said:
I'll get you everything you wanted
I'll get you everything you need
don't need to believe in hereafter
just believe in me...

Time`s up... wake up!
Tailors are everywhere.
Art can be anything - you just have to claim it!
Am I an artist?
Today I am not, maybe tomorrow again.

"The Emperor's New Clothes"

2010-01-07T07:01:00.002+01:00

Do we have to understand art?
Do we have to understand the artist?
Do we have to read the catalog to be amazed?
Do we have to have emotions when we see an artwork?
Do we have to be breathless?
Do we have to agree with art institutions?
Do we have to see clothes where they are not?

WE DO NOT!
But unfortunately we do!

Animals :/

2010-01-06T06:01:00.008+01:00

Oslobođenje - article from today

2009-12-17T17:12:00.002+01:00

click on the image to enlarge it

Hej Folks - here is an article from the newspaper "Oslobođenje" that I bought today and - surprise - the interview and the performance has been published :) I like the photos and the article is very good written - there are few little mistakes so for the record :

1. It should be Milan Tutunovic insted of Milan Trifunovic :/ who influenced my work...
2.I did the Tibetan mandala all day long (in Lyon) and not 3 hours - I do mine about 3 hours...
3. The majority in Bosnia are 3 people (3 religions) but we have more than 3 (not just 3)... :)

Otherwise it is very good :) and I do like it.

cube, cubes, cubis, cabis and so on...

2009-12-09T21:12:00.003+01:00

1, 2, 7, 22, 67, 202, 607, 1822, 5467, 16402, 49207 ...and so on ;)

In geometry, a cube is a three-dimensional solid object bounded by six square faces, facets or sides, with three meeting at each vertex ( it is a regular hexahedron) and about the the five Platonic solids and the cube as one of them I will not speak here...

In art, a cube is just an illusion, a perfect and infinite form and the only reason why it exist is to challenge the mind of an artist. The cube is the plenarily idea of a mosaic, a puzzle that has to be transformed into an artwork.

In geometry and in art two cubes are a problem. One is always bigger, the color is not the same, in perspective we see the first one more than the second one. Too many options with to many variables. Two cubes become mostly some kind of a braniac, super mandala.

One day I will try it in real:
One cube become two, two becomes seven, seven becomes twenty two; and twenty two becomes sixty seven, sixty seven become two hundred and two; and two hundred and two becomes six hundreds and seven and so on...
in to the material infinity!

Sculpture-fobia, sculpture-mania

2009-12-07T07:12:00.001+01:00

Hallo people, I can say for myself that I am an artist, but I am also a sculpture-maniac, so my disease is sculpture-mania... If you do not have any sculptures in your environment you must be a sculpture-fobiac :)

Here is a photo what I do with my sculptures (you can see the front of my studio and I can guarantee you that it will be more)...

Opening night - 24.12.2005

2009-12-02T21:21:00.006+01:00

The exhibition was hold for the national holly-day (the 25th of November) - the day of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was open by the director of the gallery Strajo Krsmanović, by the director of the association of artist Irfan Hozo and by the Prime Minister of the department of Sarajevo Besim Mehmedić (if I have translate his position right - "premijer kantona Sarajevo". 108 authors were attending with over 180 works - the most were 2 dimensional.

On the photos below you can see the installation during the exhibition and on the second photo you can see the director of the association of artists Irfan Hozo during his speech and the amount of visitors behind and around him and on the last two photos you can see my installation just after building it and the try to make the TV work together with the DVD player (finally someone makes it work) .

Here you can see again some details from the installation (01. - my belt with the skretch and the name of the performance, 02. the plastics bags with the ancient mandalas that has been destroyed, 03. I put also the tools for constructing the mandala and in the back is the TV (working), where the spectators could see the videos (the performance itself) from Zagreb and Nebocaj.

Bosnian life is a unwanted mandala - part 3

2009-12-02T14:12:00.006+01:00

The third part of my performance project has started - on 23.11.2009 between 10 am and 2 pm I have with a lot of help from Marie CASTEL and Melda EMIROGLUE build again a mandala carpet. This time there have been some new aspects - the project is developing. New artifacts have been introduce into the whole installation. My belt is placed in front of the carpet, I started to write a little text about what I felt during the process. My belt broke in 3 pieces (strange) and I have made for the first time a scratch that I placed in front of the mandala, because I changed some colors and forms, too. The responsible man for putting up the whole exhibition was really boring - and he put me in a corner.

The final performance will be hold on the last day of the exhibition (05.12.2009) - I will of course place some photos. The new thing is that I will build an urn for each mandala (for the moment they have been placed in plastic bags and each time this plastic bags with datum and place are placed somewhere near the TV / LCD). In this urn I will also place this text about how I felt during making the mandala. So here are the photos :

This mandala is a work I presented in the gallery "Collegium Artisticum" in Sarajevo during the "Revijalna izložba" exhibition organized by the association of artist of Bosnia and Herzegovina (ULUBiH). About the exhibition I found some short articles in Bosnian language and the newspaper "Oslobođenje" published the article with the photo of my performance in Zagreb (of course nobody wrote my name anywhere...) - by the way here is the link to the article - click here - and here is that image made during the Max Art Fest in Zagreb.

Latin Bridge

2009-12-01T12:09:00.001+01:00

Latin Bridge (Bosnian: Latinska ćuprija, named Principov most - "Princip Bridge" in Yugoslavian era), is a historic bridge over the River Miljacka in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The northern end of the bridge was the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Gavrilo Princip in 1914, which became a casus belli of World War I.

Mandala at the MaxArtFest in Zagreb

2009-11-16T16:11:00.001+01:00

In October I was in Zagreb at the Max Art Fest (I wrote already about it - click here to see it) and here is the detailed version about it :

The first performance was made near Sarajevo (click here to read the post - Bosnian life is an unwanted mandala) and like the first one I started also in Zagreb with a drawing. But before I could draw it I had to transport all my materials to Zagreb (The colored sand could be a problem at the border, because it looks like a fancy new drug, but I had luck - nobody took me enough serious to search my car :)... Here are few photos about the material I drove in the back of my old Ford.

Than in Zagreb I started with my drawing (chalk on ground)

After the drawing with a lot of help from my cousin and his fiance (Robi and Tena) we made the mandala during 3 hours of intensive work and the people could watch us (during / by doing it), ask questions and it was a quite interesting experience to do it.
Special THANX to Robi and Tena...

During the construction of the mandala there was in the background a big LCD. On it the people who has not time to come back to the main act of the performance could see the first performance that I did in Nebocaj, near Sarajevo.

At 9 PM the main act begun and after a little speech of 3-5 Minutes I started to do what every human normally do if they has a carpet - I started to clean the carpet with my vacuum cleaner but this carpet is my mandala, so you can clean it only once.

In the end I put everything from the vacuum cleaner to a bag, write a name on it (the date and the place) and this will be shown with the video I made during the next exhibition where I will do my third of 28 performances. You can click on each image to enlarge it and to see it better. For futher information if needed you can also contact me via email.

The next performance will be at the end of November (26. or 27.) here in Sarajevo at the "REVIALNA IZLOŽBA" in the gallery "Collegium Artisticum" organized by the association of artist in BiH. You are welcome to come.
Cheers

promises and new clothes for the new emperor

2009-10-07T07:10:00.001+02:00

Material : Stone and a big piece of wood
Title: the St.Stone
Price: Priceless (sold)

... it was just 4 cm deep, the brand new wound in my forefinger, the veins were not cut, just one, the nerves were intact, the hand swollen, blue, black and somewhere a little bit yellow. It works still just fine. The half liter blood I`ve lost have been regenerated by my body, my heart, but not my soul.

the show can go on, and the show will go on - no matter what!
For some artist the show starts after they are gone!
For other it never begins!
Do I actually care?

Not really... it is fun, and we are the show...
what will stay are some fleas promises and brand new clothes for the emperor.

It has hurt, to make this sculpture, but the spirit demands sometimes more than the body want to pay - temperature, new swollen hand, no movement with the left hand, but the show will go on,
the body will heal and new promises will be made!

and tomorrow they will maybe take out the strings and the hand will heal again!

ARTIST'S STATEMENT

ARTIST'S STATEMENT by Dzenan Sehic

My favorite tools: In the physical way there is my grinding machine and my bits (auger drills) but in other ways I like “momentum” in expression as a tool.

My favorite material:

I actually do not have a favorite material, because sometimes I need to express myself in clay, sometimes with oil-colors, sometimes with any sort of different media…

What do I do:

The best about my work is that my pattern is the experimental way, so I actually cannot say that my next work will be a sculpture, a video or a drawing. It always depend on the moment, the place where I am, the people that have surround me during the day and so go on…

A piece have turned out very well:

It is actually very difficult to say that a piece have turned very well, but we (the artist) do it sometimes, or we don’t do it never. I see myself in the group of those who say sometimes for their own work that it has turned very well, but this does not mean that I am completely satisfied, it is just this little moment before continuing with all the other works… Because we cannot afford to like our work so much, that we stop trying to be better than at this very moment…

The differents between what I do and what I was taught:

I do not do just like I was taught, because this would mean reproduction and recreation over and over. Every artist who evaluate try to harvest from his experience, but to introduce something own in every next project without just copying himself or his teachers!

When I work with some materials I am mostly reminded of nothing in particular, because mostly I have an idea and I just work on it without thinking to much about it, because more I think about it, the more some thought of great artist influence me and my work – sometimes this is necessary, but sometimes not. I begin a piece simply by starting the first lines, by beginning it…

I know a piece is done when I know it is finished, and mostly I do know it, still sometimes it happens – a work overdone and than it just don’t feel mine any-more…So what to do: “When the vine is sour, throw the vine out!”

I love it when a work goes well, it makes me feel happy and I gather a lot of motivation to continue to work, but when a work goes bad I need a day of break to became really angry about it and to want to do it the best that is possible.

When people see my work I would like them to enjoy it, not to like it, neither to be scared of, nor to understand it, because in my works anyone can see whatever she/he wants to see. Because I don’t see my work I feel it!

What do I try to avoid:

If I ever kill myself by kicking with my head a wall in a gallery or a museum I do not want people to think that it was a performance and the blood on that very wall to be understood as an artwork... I try to avoid the theory of “emperors new clothes” by not explaining my work with some suicide, foolish and philosophical - abstract theories... If you do not like it you are not stupid, nor a liar, my works simply not satisfied your taste and that is all.

And finally – MYSELF!!!

On the internet and in so many “how to” books you can find an explanation where is written – described how to write a statement... I have tried to avoid them, too. I want not to write a manifest about art, artist or myself, but to explain few details about me and how I think about what I do...

What is real is real, what is illusion it has to be discovered... Tragedy, a funny thing that happened only to other people! And only to others!

I see myself like this - a work under construction, a bundle of contradictions and human...

DREAMER!

Straightening up - from 1997

2009-08-11T11:08:00.004+02:00

After cleaning up my studio I found 2 of my very first painting (oil on canvas) . It was before starting any artistic formation in summer of 1997 :) - so this is how it all started, the formats are small (30 x 40cm) and the thematic s are strange but I was 15.
Enjoy

But before working on my own art-works I have to finish some paintings for the catholic church and inspired by Rafaels' paintings - this is the sketch for it (twice) :

Memo

2009-06-04T02:03:00.001+02:00

Hi... I made long time ago (in cooperation with a friend of mine - Arnela Mujkanovic - maybe Kulasic, very soon) 2 paintings for the catholic church - to see the image where it is now click here ....
It is funny but hurts sometimes that you make something and than you found it on interent without any mention of your name :(

The site is here

It is also strange to try to google yourself - because I for example have found an article where a woman (the writer) use some of my words from my blog for the interview with a performance artist and friend of me Ervin Babic - to see the article in bosnian/croatian language - click here
By the way this writer was a pro because she has mention my name and my blog :)

I mean if anyone use anything from my blog or post any photos of my artworks should mantion my blog, my name etc!!!!
It sucks...

Cheers!

Thank you dear funpic people for repairing it so fast!

Homepage - ERROR

2009-05-30T09:09:00.004+02:00

Halo to everyone,

my homepage (at funpic.de) does not work at the time :( and the displayed reason / error is:

No suitable nodes are available to serve your request.

The whole funpic (other sites) has the same problem...
Unfortunately my account there does not work ether at the time, so it may take a while before I figure out why, so I ask you for patience and apologize to all people who wants eventually to see it.

Best regards and cheers,

"Maxi" Newspaper / Sarajevo

2009-05-29T16:04:00.005+02:00

From the newspaper "Maxi" here in Sarajevo (the article and the detailed photo below), about the Exposition "Salon mladih"(click the image to see jpg from the catalog - it is the catalogue on the left side)...

It is quite funny - in the article they write mostly about the people / artists who has won the price (it was 7 people / artists at all), but than on the photos from the exposition you can see actually only the 2 of the people / artists who has won.

I am happy, because they put my photo even when I have not won the price (it is a symbolic one, a written paper - diploma alike). and my papa is also on the photo :). Between us is the artist Meliha Teparic who makes great calligraphic artworks.. In the main title it is written "Prices for young artists"...

I am curious about the article that will be printed in the next two weeks about me in "Maxi" - (I gave an interview), so we will see how it will be (Dzenan the conservator) ;)

Cheers...
