I am working since few years with some friends of mine (Mr.Branka Turkić and Mr.Maja Zmukić) in cooperation with a woman named Kathi Stockinger with children. We call ourselves "Atelier Sarajevo". Few days ago I found out that Kathi has won a big prise by mobilcom Austria for a project of Atelier Sarajevo (http://www.inos.at/projekte/mobilcom_award08.htm) - so actually we have won it all, but it is like always interesting that she has taken the price (we know now that she works for inos (Initiative Osteuropa)) from Kofi Annan and Boris Nemsić and there was NO mention of our names (Dzenan Šehić, Branka Turkić and Maja Zmukić) - not even few little words that we have actually made this project (Coloure talks)...
Even the angels have to balance on someones crazy horses and the world is still turning around. One day you will wake up and your angel "gardien" will be somewhere else, than just klick and one moment later you will reach the finish line and ask yourself - WAS IT AN ACCIDENT???

Today, I am again very disappointed in the world and in those someones crazy horses!
I tried to make a logo and to design my own contact-card but finally professionals did it and this is my brand new contact-card for conservation of artworks. I like it!
here a little photo of Sarajevo by night I took few weeks ago, during a walking session around my neighborhood and here it is :..."My kind of town, Sarajevo is!!!" and now let s have a glass of wine or milk :)
work in progress and yet still not ready to go... it is a part of SARAJEVO - you see the national library* destroyed during the war...
_____________________ *The National Library was housed in the old town hall known as Vijecnica, a graceful Moorish revival building constructed in the heart of the city.
Halo people, I would like to present to you a great project we are working on it! When I say we I mean a great team of people (Dzenan Šehić, Branka Turkić and Maja Zmukić in cooperation with 3 other friends : Edin, Emir and Selma).
Today we started a new workshop (a little bit chaotic) but it is okey! The name is "COLOUR TALKS" - I know it is nor written right but it is great.
We started few years ago with a project (Idea by the ZOOM Kindermuseum in Vienna) - it was called the "CITY BOX" and it was great. Since then we have made few great projects with building Aliens, making masques, creating a water world and who knows what will follow.
This time the children will work with colors - every child will be one color and they will have to learn to work together to create a great painting! Branka Turkic and Maja Zmukic has this great idea, and I have upgraded it and translated it to German language, so that our friends from Austria can find some sponsors. Actually for this project we do not need any sponsors, because the idea is simple, cheap and great, but our Austrian friends have found a good sponsor, so that every child will have a T-Shirt in his color - that is quite good.
I am happy to be a part second coordinator and founder of it and we will keep going!
Cheers
Dzenan
plant a tree, stop to breath the air, look up in the sky, built a winter-bird-house, walk down the street and laugh a little bit, it makes other people happy, be kitsch, be Gustav Klimt... be yourself and make that different s...
In the name of love, I guess I should make more radio - vocal msgs, maybe even here on my blog...But who knows, we live in a time of change, but still the most time we wait for something. We got maybe 80 x summer... It is not that much... but the most of us don`t get 80...some 60, some less...in some region not even 25... This drawing I will call "the timer-waiter-man" It is not a real word, but it is a real drawing!
