Gorbash (The Flights of Dragons), 2018 (starchild’s crafts)
“So comes snow after fire, and even dragons have their endings.” -JRR Tolkien
All things end. No matter how powerful, there comes a time when the flame extinguishes and every piece of this mystery we call the universe comes to a close. The big and powerful meet their ends no differently than the meek. But no one need be defined by how they end, rather how they live. With this knowledge, we, each and every one, have the power to grab hold of the time allotted us, make the most of it, sip every drop of life from every moment gifted to our simple human souls.
Srđan Tunić lives and works in Montenegro. He is originally from Serbia. At the moment he is crafting with polymer clay. These can sometimes bring in some money. Professionally speaking, he is an art historian and freelance curator. Within the last year he has been working on a street art project. He is also
working with an artist from Egypt at the moment, trying to bring his artwork into Serbia and the Balkans region. He is also working on a curatorial project titled About and Around Curating or Kustosiranje in Serbian aimed at young curators. To hear more about this and other projects from Srđan Tunić, listen to the
complete interview.
Vasiliki Antonopoulou spoke to us for a second time. At the moment she is in the final stages of a project that is, in her words, “almost materializing” meaning the content is becoming clearer. Antonopoulou uses the scenes she is working on to process the present. The video she is producing is one that
looks at the future through the lens of two lovers in the future reminiscing on the past which is the present we live in now. Visits with her grandmother added further layers to the work. Antonopoulou is involved in an artist residency in the UK at the moment during which she and her collaborators are presently exhibiting at the Victoria and Albert Museum. Antonopoulou splits her time between London and Athens. To hear more about this and more, listen to the complete interview.
