General Interest
(with Acaymo S. Cuesta), 2022
installation, wood, discarded materials and photographs, dimensions variable

Spanish artist Acaymo S. Cuesta and Serbian artist Branislav Nikolić connected two regions where the project has been developed through a collaborative work making use of reused, recovered and discarded materials, mainly wood and other sorts of waste.
The installation seeks to establish bridges between the ecological problems of the Canary islands and global ones, taking as its starting point the construction project of the Salto de Chira-Soria hydroelectric plant, whose controversy is dividing the citizens of Grand Canaria, alluding to the form of the architectural structure that crosses the space.

TOOLS OF THE TRADE
> what tools and materials changed your life? <


When I arrived in Holland, I felt free to realize my long-standing desire to paint with hammer and nails, with a saw, screwdriver and chisel. I immediately set to work and to this day I work with discarded wood, a material that has changed my life. I like the fact that the whole picture is not under my control, and that it was actually painted by someone else. That is how the society gets involved in the work, besides me. This gives me the impression (or maybe just a hope) that my work is more objective.

Hi dear Ron,
great idea! I am enjoying these days in artists shoes and music.
It is always hard to pick 10, but it’s bittersweet task.
I discovered this summer blues guitarist Junior Kimbrough
Try to find – You Better Run: The Essential Junior Kimbrough (2002)
in a meantime look at the documentary:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jSRdQgidCHY

Lately listening a lot radio Belgrade 2 in my studio (since I can’t catch any other normal station there) and they are playing a lot of classical music. I discovered some great stuff. Here are few Serbian/Croatian bands too.
I hope we will all enjoy each others lists in 2016/17.
Fancy shoes for studio work!
O, yeah, mine is Converse – in my service since 2002 :-)
Keep in touch!
