The Pipe collection, between simplicity and character
The Pipe collection, designed by Busetti Garuti Redaelli for Atmosphera, introduces this year a three-seater sofa.
Rather than turning to emblems of entrenched narratives or marking or restoring parts of the landscape in order to memorialize victims, preserve memories, or reveal a path to national rejuvenation, the conversations will attend to meanings that cannot so easily be recouped and repackaged, that resist easy interpretation and definition. Among them: the Olympic bobsled track turned front-line barricade in the mid-90s; the popular Serbian Zastava 101 automobile; rejuvenated Bosnian black markets; the extra J that transforms a word from Serbian to Bosnian and Croatian; nascent national beverages, fashionable typefaces, suburban mosques, and prominent branding campaigns.
This book, Perfect Strangers: A Catalogue of Ordinary Icons, will be published in the winter and will include documentation of public programs as well as elaborations of the projects discussed and conceived in Sarajevo. The materials — artist projects, prose, poetry, fiction, photography, transcripts, documents, emails, screen shots, coupons, receipts — will be organized as alphabetical entries, resulting in a subjective, selective lexicon of the Balkan imaginary, and of an imaginary Balkans. Contributors will include the participating artists and writers, attendees from Bosnia and Serbia and abroad, Triple Canopy editors, and a number of commissioned respondents who will not be present in Sarajevo.
