Since 2014, Nova Iskra is participating in developing the Create in Residence platform, whose integral part is our program DESIGNER IN RESIDENCE. Year after year, the program is gathering new organizations, so today collaborations are spanning Slovakia, Germany, Sweden and France. This year’s participants of the program are Karkatag Collective from Serbia, who are staying in Marseille during November, Charlotte de Sedouy who is going to be in Belgrade at the same time, as well as the Swede Emelie Röndahl.
For the moment, she is taking part in the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial, creating a collaborative weaving project with participants from all over the world. The project is called Google Weaving Stop-time.
Google Weaving Stop-time is an online artistic weaving project in which weavers from all over the world share weaving experience, focused on “ghiordes” embroidery (turkish or rya embroidery). All of the participants have made at least one tapestry, based on the interpretation of a photo from the Internet, using the words “textile labor Turkey” in the Google image search. All of the tapestries were exhibited together, imitating the algorithm of the Google search. The exhibition is currently on display in Istanbul, as a part of the 4th Istanbul Design Biennial (http://aschoolofschools.iksv.org/).
This November, Emelie Röndahl will also realize an exhibition at the Transformart Gallery in Belgrade. The opening of the exhibition is on November 10th at 7PM. Emilie’s two-month residential stay and workshop are realized with the support from IASPIS.
The workshop is aimed at everyone interested in this kind of weaving, while the capacities are limited to only 20 participants.
Everyone interested in participating in the workshop should apply until Thursday, November 1st at 12PM, by filling out the online form http://bit.ly/2PvLDFq. Capacities are limited to only 20 participants, who will be notified of their participation in the workshop by the end of the same day. Those who receive a confirmation of the participation need to follow the instructions for payment of the cotisation of 1.800 RSD. The cotisation covers the costs of the workshop and needed materials – wooden loom (A3 format) and wool. The participants will keep their project from the workshop. All participants will be notified about the location of the workshop and other details after they make the cotisation payment.

Kurs
Irish and Dublin-based artis James Early will join the team od Stanišić Atelier in Sombor for a one-month residency. His work emanates the notion of constructive deconstruction inherit to the artisanry of stained-glass. His work delas with: “wide ranging themes of power, societal imbalances, religion, politics and ultimately, the inhumanity of man. His artworks are a visual meditation and reflection of these themes”.
Through the preparatory stages and conceptualization of this residency stay James and Aleksandra Stanišić established vivid communication and got acquainted with each other’s professional and family history – they both come from a long line of stained-glass makers.
Together they will work on developing a paravane piece influenced and inspired by street art, graphic design, digital art, and heritage objects in Serbia (glass collection from the Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade, street-urban scene, monuments of WWII). The expected result will fuse the digital tools and the hand-made, craft-based execution.
The final piece will be exhibited in the Museum of Applied Art in Belgrade in December 2024.
James Early
James Earley lives and works in Dublin. His artistic practice draws from street art, graphic design and passed down knowledge of stained glass making. His signature is the visual deconstruction of form, carefully constructed in new symmetry and balance. James’s pieces are made through application of digital tools in service of analogue artworks, “he embraces technology to create complex, layered, highly charged compositions”. In 2020 and 2019, he exhibited his work at “VUE, RHA” in Dublin, “Art on Paper” in New York, “Venice Glass Week”, “Seattle Art Fair” and “RHA Annual Exhibition” in Dublin. James was awarded the Business to Arts, Best Use of Creativity in the Community Award in 2019.

Atelier Stanišić
Atelje Stanišić (Stanišić Atelier) is the oldest still operating stained glass workshop in Serbia. Established in 1908 in Sombor by Milan Stanišić, it has for five generations been the home of stained-glass production, decorating buildings in Serbia and abroad. Today, the four-people team in its workshop creates new and restores old works under the mindful eye of Aleksandra Stanišić. Aleksandra’s daughter Ena Borovac seems to be the next in the line of “glass lovers”, knowing the craft and thinking of new understanding of the technique and its possibilities in contemporary terms.
