Sanja Ivekovic on the Sao Paolo Biennal
Dear Friends,
We feel that it is very important that we inform you about the unpleasant incident which is happening even as we write on the relation Sanja Ivekovic - state policy. A state selector has invited Sanja Ivekovic to represent the state on the Sao Paolo Biennal. But when Sanja Ivekovic submitted the project "Miss Croatia & Miss Brasil Read Zizek & Chomsky" (please find it enclosed in the attachment) the state selector has, using laughable and confused arguments, more exactly the totally unprovoked "doubt that of this project will be realized in full and on time", refused any possibility that this project could represent the state on the Sao Paolo Biennal. There is no further need to explain, if you only took a casual look at the project, what the misunderstanding between the artist and the state is. What we would particularly like to underscore here is that it is quite unfortunate, for both sides, when state "has" an artist wiser than itself.
Kindest regards
