Project Description: In the four-month residency and online project go_HOME, Bosnian artist Danica Dakic and Croatian artist Sandra Sterle will explore physical, cultural, and psychological dislocation and strategies for rebuilding and renewal. In September 2001, the artists, two women of different ethnic backgrounds from the former Yugoslavia who maintain homes and careers in both West and East Europe, will relocate to New York City to live together for four months in an experimental home. Artist Marjetica Potr* from Slovenia and artist Milica Tomi* with theorist Branimir Stojanovi* from Serbia, will participate in the project in September and December respectively. The artists will utilize the physical residence and their website*a virtual home on the internet*as a haven for creating video and photographic projects, and as a common meeting ground for engaging the interested public in dialogue around issues of migration, national identity, technology, and globalization. The project will provide time and space for highly personal reflection and artmaking as well as public discussion from fresh perspectives not often heard in the United States. The go_HOME website will feature photographic, video, and sound works; recipes; a bibliography; texts from the US and from Eastern Europe; a calendar of events; chatrooms; and a guestbook. Each month, the artists will invite artists, architects, scholars, representatives from immigrant service organizations, and neighbors for.
