The exhibition Voyage vers... Humanity’s greening of Planet Earth – photos by Mario del Curto presents the works of the Swiss photographer, Mario del Curto, who has maintained artistic ties with Serbia for many years. It features a story in 300 pictures from Del Curto’s eight-year journey around the world – from Japan, Kazakhstan, Madagascar and Morocco to Mexico, Peru, Tajikistan, France, Switzerland, Serbia and many other countries. The exhibition is a reaction to the development of "humanity that has distanced itself too much from the earth”, and the artist calls to reflect on how we treat the plant world, stressing: "With this project, I seek to show a part of the long history of relationships between humans and plants. I also want to talk about the destruction of the environment, which has already started, about the adaptability of plants, the beauty of flowers, so well described in mythology, about great gardeners’ skills, a different way of thinking in cities, the elegance of a gynoecium, the branching of a tree...the endless truth.”

The exhibition A Look into the Centre includes 211 works of 100 artists and it offers an insight into the Graphic Art Collection of the Graphic Art Centre. The Collection has been formed over two full decades. It was initiated with the earliest Editions of the Centre and was later enriched with artists’ gifts. Today, the collection contains more than 800 prints, including the works of artists from various countries.

The Belgrade City Museum has been carrying out its activities without its own building for 115 years. Due to this, the treasures kept in the Museum are usually hidden from the visitors’ eyes.

The exhibition presents three national architectural calls for projects organized in order to select the design of the new building of the Belgrade City Museum.

Широм света, градови се налазе пред изазовима. На који начин може успети да се урбани простор и у временима његовог економског искоришћавања и приватизације изгради и одржи као заједнички простор друштва? Коју улогу играју уметност, култура, архитектура, самоорганизовано деловање и активизам у тим процесима?

At the peculiar historical and social moment when the concept of the integration of countries into the European Union is seen by some as utterly futile and by others as indisputably necessary, sound and logical, the Croatian-French-Italian artist Marc Pio Maximilien Salvelli is presented to Belgrade’s cultural audience through his large series of works entitled the Metaphorical Greeting of the Birth of Europe – Work in Progress. It is a comprehensive and layered artistic concept, started already in 1993. Before the Belgrade exhibition, it was displayed in Paris, Madrid, Rome, Ljubljana, Zagreb, Sarajevo and other European cities.

The exhibition presents a valuable photo collection of Svetozar Grdijan which deserves to be praised as a supreme achievement of Serbian photo journalism before World War II.

The exhibition is divided into several thematic units: The Royal Family, Politics, Events, Society, The City and Sports. The photos that illustrate Belgraders’ social life between the two world wars are the most valuable. By documenting through photos the activities of charity societies, various civic associations, professional and sport clubs, hospitals, schools, shows, parties, trials and sport events, the photo journalist Svetozar Grdijan demonstrated a high level of dedication and professionalism.

The collection was formed after the belongings of the pre-war photo journalist and photography editor of the Vreme magazine Svetozar Grdijan had been purchased by the Belgrade City Museum; they had been offered to the Museum by Grdijan’s wife Katarina–Katica Grdijan in 1970. The belongings include 11,000 original negatives, professional photos taken (with the exception of a few items) during the 1930s. Photos of Grdijan’s friends and relatives that he managed to collect and preserve also make a part of the collection.

Unfortunately, we know very little of Svetozar Grdijan, his life, professional work and the dramatic and tragic years of his life.

Through this project, the Austrian Cultural Forum in Belgrade continues intensive cooperation with Serbia’s cultural institutions within the framework of the project The Year of Culture 2015, Austria–Serbia.

Tracks and Traces is an artistic dialogue between the Austrian artist Andreas Fogarasi and the Serbian artist Saša Tkačenko. Under the influence of urban spaces, and inspired by the given location and some imaginary places, the artists elaborate their ideas drawing on repeated reading of the city through memories of materiality and sound. Fogarasi elaborates themes such as identity, architecture, ways to increase the economic efficiency of cities and culturalize public spaces, resorting to various procedures aimed at (de)constructing the idea of the city. Through narrative means, Tkačenko explores the history of urban sites, their presence or vanishing over time, the current proof of their existence in our environment and everyday reality.
