Over the years, not only files, folders, furniture and objects have accumulated, but also technical equipment and working practices that have long since become outdated. <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ffda67f68ab99fb33566bd0d38a0021fa53fe5166f8139c7e959b6235d25f1df/IOC_008.jpg" data-mid="251205104" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ffda67f68ab99fb33566bd0d38a0021fa53fe5166f8139c7e959b6235d25f1df/IOC_008.jpg" /> The first step in the renovation was therefore not design, but clearing out. Through an extended process, decisions were made together with the client as to what should remain, what should be archived, passed on or disposed of. This work could not be delegated – clearing out was already part of the project. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/18c8dbd095663ab94cb03bae50af123690bdc06df6975a11eb06ec8e213eedd9/IMG_6437.JPG" data-mid="251283991" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/18c8dbd095663ab94cb03bae50af123690bdc06df6975a11eb06ec8e213eedd9/IMG_6437.JPG" /> The brief was to renew the existing space without fundamentally changing its familiar arrangement. The curtains, carpets and ceiling ornaments were to be retained. Given the uncertain future of the business at its current location, the budget was limited and the project had to be tightly and economically calculated. Materials, surfaces, and above all craftsmanship became all the more important. Magnificent, yet modest became the guiding principle for the spatial intervention. <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0688c30782614991f233493aef2b1ead6f5fe745707fab5c403ea724bf9564fc/IOC_001.jpg" data-mid="251205096" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0688c30782614991f233493aef2b1ead6f5fe745707fab5c403ea724bf9564fc/IOC_001.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bdfaa47584e22268d29fc444c1858fa7929a13fbb50eb9b3e6476f49cbd64bc9/IOC_002.jpg" data-mid="251205098" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bdfaa47584e22268d29fc444c1858fa7929a13fbb50eb9b3e6476f49cbd64bc9/IOC_002.jpg" /> The new furniture provides the necessary work surfaces for everyday office use as well as storage for documents. At the same time, it establishes a new horizontal plane running through the office at two different heights. The idea of pedestals rather than simple sideboards and tables goes beyond their original function: existing as well as future objects are deliberately given their place here, and with it, a meaning. Collecting is not intended to stop in the years to come, but rather to become more ordered and visible. Even the office printer receives its own pedestal and is positioned prominently in the room. Mirrors and new artworks on the walls reinforce this relationship between workspace and collection. <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4de2c3c2eed0bf68229c9a7c9b8e1a6c6cdbd899062990bd1734b82fc7a25a03/IOC_003.jpg" data-mid="251205099" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4de2c3c2eed0bf68229c9a7c9b8e1a6c6cdbd899062990bd1734b82fc7a25a03/IOC_003.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4b33b31114e918f6618e1cfc2ea427cf6cf2041a6ffa655bf385592049b3aa43/IOC_009.jpg" data-mid="251205105" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4b33b31114e918f6618e1cfc2ea427cf6cf2041a6ffa655bf385592049b3aa43/IOC_009.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/df634beac17623f4e6c3b77255c8dd43517998d936977abc032a79a329f54689/IOC_007.jpg" data-mid="251205103" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/df634beac17623f4e6c3b77255c8dd43517998d936977abc032a79a329f54689/IOC_007.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/60aad31b96625d39db1997d8fc5ae8841743342ab0c690c95ab3cf3dfbf2c5ff/IOC_013.jpg" data-mid="251205109" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/60aad31b96625d39db1997d8fc5ae8841743342ab0c690c95ab3cf3dfbf2c5ff/IOC_013.jpg" /> The sideboards are designed at a height that allows for an additional use: during larger meetings and office parties, the pedestals become a bar – a place to put down wine glasses, lean against and engage in informal conversation. <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/56cc42880c78d55c3350d04d69c6a550bc8ce70b80bf3b431b6aa00196a4a6af/IOC_005.jpg" data-mid="251205101" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/56cc42880c78d55c3350d04d69c6a550bc8ce70b80bf3b431b6aa00196a4a6af/IOC_005.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dfbb9590e896912233af4643d1b98ea8436f475fe910574b0541d175b78e6c1c/IOC_006.jpg" data-mid="251205102" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dfbb9590e896912233af4643d1b98ea8436f475fe910574b0541d175b78e6c1c/IOC_006.jpg" /> Conceived as a modular system, the furniture reorganises the space without being permanently bound to it. The carcasses and fronts are made of coloured and milled MDF. The horizontal surfaces in solid oak and natural stone form a robust and high-quality plane. Tables and the archive shelving unit can be dismantled, allowing for new configurations at a possible future location. <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0f05e83c722b9c6ef77411e99038e2e5e9f464cb2248dfd7a55d3e52fada558c/IOC_012.jpg" data-mid="251205108" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0f05e83c722b9c6ef77411e99038e2e5e9f464cb2248dfd7a55d3e52fada558c/IOC_012.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5f49314c1d8e321c19d755804215f30f1c6b02be7e55df295d0c5de0f467a393/IOC_011.jpg" data-mid="251205107" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5f49314c1d8e321c19d755804215f30f1c6b02be7e55df295d0c5de0f467a393/IOC_011.jpg" /> <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c60a267257d7ade86a7f240b6e0c59735196a91cd6c9257a8897dbf83c0e2277/IOC_010.jpg" data-mid="251205106" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c60a267257d7ade86a7f240b6e0c59735196a91cd6c9257a8897dbf83c0e2277/IOC_010.jpg" /> 2026Client: PrivatDesign: Milan MijalkovicNet floor area: 100m²Project location: Vienna, AustriaPhoto credits: David Schreyer https://milanmijalkovic.com/Museum-Macura Fri, 09 Oct 2020 11:01:45 +0000 Milan Mijalkovic https://milanmijalkovic.com/Museum-Macura Museum Macura As the Danube meanders through the old town of Banovci, just 25km north of Belgrade lies the Magacin Macura - Zenit 4, an old barn transformed into a space for art. It complements the Museum Macura just a few kilometres downstream in Novi Banovci. Opened in 2008, the museum was built to house one of the largest private collections of modern and contemporary art in Eastern Europe and it is the first private museum in Serbia. The collection of Vladimir Macura includes some of the finest examples of early 20th century movements such as Zenithism, Dada, Surrealism, Viennese Actionism and more. <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7a27a9e9771bd1b0a291704443604ef1edd8c69d58a210011a1547cada5aaa15/Panorama-Neu-Groesse-Normal.jpg" data-mid="94562051" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7a27a9e9771bd1b0a291704443604ef1edd8c69d58a210011a1547cada5aaa15/Panorama-Neu-Groesse-Normal.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="2036" width_o="2880" height_o="2036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/4a1892fa1810f8a9fa17b3e3edc72d3e1a06053b88e9dbee10f6551649c3f66c/Pictogram-1.jpg" data-mid="85103715" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/4a1892fa1810f8a9fa17b3e3edc72d3e1a06053b88e9dbee10f6551649c3f66c/Pictogram-1.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="2036" width_o="2880" height_o="2036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0c7ac40897c8e0429cf0269c7144d5b456acc2efd4d1a9b5f335713d2ef211fe/Pictogram-2.jpg" data-mid="85103716" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0c7ac40897c8e0429cf0269c7144d5b456acc2efd4d1a9b5f335713d2ef211fe/Pictogram-2.jpg" /> The siting of the Magacin Macura is quite significant, being in an old village, away from the major cities. Performing arts, concerts, theatre plays and film screenings frequently turn the remote location into a place of gathering and experience. The old barn was used for storing grain originally, then flour and more recently bread. It consists of a beautifully simple wooden structure with bolted joints, a visible roof truss, bare wooden floors and brick walls. As much as possible of the material and special qualities should be kept when it was decided to plan a significant expansion of the building.&nbsp; <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a07c7f1261395a7d53eef76e869b8c41c54d7f123cff434f69b4cd82ae240dd/000_Miseum-Macura_DroneFoto.jpg" data-mid="85101861" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1a07c7f1261395a7d53eef76e869b8c41c54d7f123cff434f69b4cd82ae240dd/000_Miseum-Macura_DroneFoto.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aa22b78c5202ff63bb095aba65802d15e69a17f1c88a8eff8db83b7882dcd497/003_Museum-Macura_Street-V.jpg" data-mid="85101900" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aa22b78c5202ff63bb095aba65802d15e69a17f1c88a8eff8db83b7882dcd497/003_Museum-Macura_Street-V.jpg" /> With a budget of only €30,000, equating to €65/m²—low even by Serbian standards—the concept opted for simple low-cost techniques using a steel frame to build the extension and insulated metal cladding for the walls. The doors, windows, and even the wooden flooring, were all reused materials, salvaged from the local waste disposal site. <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/ea97a54fd0eecaee5eb73d8d4befc5d924c995ef2eb382bba0fc1913c276eb93/004_Museum-Macura_Entrance.jpg" data-mid="85101901" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/ea97a54fd0eecaee5eb73d8d4befc5d924c995ef2eb382bba0fc1913c276eb93/004_Museum-Macura_Entrance.jpg" /> For the new Magacin, a large rectangular volume was placed along the street, perpendicular to the existing building and lifted up to the eaves line. The pink façade underlines this new presence in the village. Two black boxes, housing a shop and storage spaces, are forming the base of the volume. Between the boxes and the old building, two covered doorways are created. Here, stained glass doors are casting coloured light onto the existing brick walls of the barn, where the flaking paintwork and loose render is in stark contrast to the neatly plastered walls of the extension. Passing through the left doorway, the entrance lobby, there is a tree-lined path, which winds its way down to the banks of the Danube. Here you can sit and drink homemade lavender juice, served in vintage bottles and glasses as you chat with the collector himself. From this garden you enter the long exhibition space of the original barn. <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7c5d6cb729d3b3ccd41c48f884d9a4d8540563467ce995e7b8d3b18f5e707d5a/005_Museum-Macura_Back-Side.jpg" data-mid="85101902" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7c5d6cb729d3b3ccd41c48f884d9a4d8540563467ce995e7b8d3b18f5e707d5a/005_Museum-Macura_Back-Side.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a71fc0cfdaf4627d6669bc35952139efb9daf636bfc78d41ce6065f957135f8c/006_Museum-Macura_Entrance-pat.jpg" data-mid="85101903" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a71fc0cfdaf4627d6669bc35952139efb9daf636bfc78d41ce6065f957135f8c/006_Museum-Macura_Entrance-pat.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2613d56a4563b05b3375480a930fb693dcde64f92d73fb35389681d06f05c2e9/007_Museum-Macura_Existing-bar.jpg" data-mid="85101904" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2613d56a4563b05b3375480a930fb693dcde64f92d73fb35389681d06f05c2e9/007_Museum-Macura_Existing-bar.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aaac80772aa4bc9dd30d9a4f7de443039a78e2f1b7e8b9c07c1700595dcccf9a/008_Museum-Macura_Extension.jpg" data-mid="85101905" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aaac80772aa4bc9dd30d9a4f7de443039a78e2f1b7e8b9c07c1700595dcccf9a/008_Museum-Macura_Extension.jpg" /> At the front end of the space, a staircase leads to perpendicular volume of the upper floor. Here, again in a large open space, working areas, a bedroom and bathroom are situated, all appearing as part of the exhibition. In this space, resident artists can stay, and readings, performances etc. can take place. On the other side of the original building the second doorway is leading to a courtyard that looks as though nothing around it has changed in decades, and by and large, that is true. This low-cost development with its reused materials has provided so much for so little by keeping what was there already. <img width="1913" height="2880" width_o="1913" height_o="2880" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3ee4275cf4589ba7b0b25299e0d120a3f5306234b261d2ebd32031ab960ae37b/010_Museum-Macura_Balcony.jpg" data-mid="85101907" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3ee4275cf4589ba7b0b25299e0d120a3f5306234b261d2ebd32031ab960ae37b/010_Museum-Macura_Balcony.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/795b81ee78bbb3f35ffedd8cff5e10f3f67ebc61813b56d58216438682869dc2/009_Museum-Macura_Extension.jpg" data-mid="85101906" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/795b81ee78bbb3f35ffedd8cff5e10f3f67ebc61813b56d58216438682869dc2/009_Museum-Macura_Extension.jpg" /><img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/928233a3cecaaf0188b0eb300be4f24549f24bfc3593a8aaeb600e6cdde8dba6/011_Museum-Macura_Extension.jpg" data-mid="85101908" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/928233a3cecaaf0188b0eb300be4f24549f24bfc3593a8aaeb600e6cdde8dba6/011_Museum-Macura_Extension.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f5ee1ef2d605f8dfa74b81e901ff47244ff024baa1f0f57728d5df8d32da5ef1/014_Museum-Macura_DroneFoto.jpg" data-mid="85101936" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f5ee1ef2d605f8dfa74b81e901ff47244ff024baa1f0f57728d5df8d32da5ef1/014_Museum-Macura_DroneFoto.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6652636a5225109d837b23cdbaf47708a1665d807718772388395f94cbc0c09a/013_Museum-Macura_Exit.jpg" data-mid="85101911" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6652636a5225109d837b23cdbaf47708a1665d807718772388395f94cbc0c09a/013_Museum-Macura_Exit.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="1920" width_o="2880" height_o="1920" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6b062f3c8bc86a1c3a8a554224e627379f589dbd03939b1c9c465ed638facc74/001_Museum-Macura_Street-View.jpg" data-mid="85101898" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6b062f3c8bc86a1c3a8a554224e627379f589dbd03939b1c9c465ed638facc74/001_Museum-Macura_Street-View.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="2036" width_o="2880" height_o="2036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/dca666703bc36c77d398f99f80654fbfc7a2ac4021493b1accb6e9b64211f449/Site-Plan.jpg" data-mid="85103719" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/dca666703bc36c77d398f99f80654fbfc7a2ac4021493b1accb6e9b64211f449/Site-Plan.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="2036" width_o="2880" height_o="2036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/19eb24e6b2100fa9df00da5a937a335b9cd43d83f853ee10b5d80958d80875f8/Ground-Floor.jpg" data-mid="85103714" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/19eb24e6b2100fa9df00da5a937a335b9cd43d83f853ee10b5d80958d80875f8/Ground-Floor.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="2036" width_o="2880" height_o="2036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f86e7e6c3c1df635a9a74fafb8bf5163d207ac4db5458eab49b83a6c3e12d958/First-Floor.jpg" data-mid="85103720" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f86e7e6c3c1df635a9a74fafb8bf5163d207ac4db5458eab49b83a6c3e12d958/First-Floor.jpg" /> <img width="4962" height="3508" width_o="4962" height_o="3508" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/696b6d7155ba2482a548a0388b2041cff522d560260900d0b1063120e4a3afb4/Street-View.jpg" data-mid="85121328" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/696b6d7155ba2482a548a0388b2041cff522d560260900d0b1063120e4a3afb4/Street-View.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="2036" width_o="2880" height_o="2036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/859bfe2a2a1185bc24577b3bba4d9a68b32e07898b2b6da77fb628db99b1db76/Section.jpg" data-mid="85103717" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/859bfe2a2a1185bc24577b3bba4d9a68b32e07898b2b6da77fb628db99b1db76/Section.jpg" /> <img width="2880" height="2036" width_o="2880" height_o="2036" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/089ba1ea37b63c3b668fa3ec708086e5fb9267a958e7d06ed11ab5ef12945f02/Section_Elevation-.jpg" data-mid="85103718" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/089ba1ea37b63c3b668fa3ec708086e5fb9267a958e7d06ed11ab5ef12945f02/Section_Elevation-.jpg" /> 2020 Client: Museum Macura Design: Milan Mijalkovic&nbsp;

Bezirks gibt es einen Platz, den kaum jemand kennt – obwohl sein Name weltpolitische Bedeutung trägt: den Platz der Vereinten Nationen. Dort steht man vor der UN. Hier sagt niemand was, stark weht der Wind und alles ist still. Rundherum Hochhäuser, Glas, Beton, Sicherheitszonen, Kameras, Big Business und internationale Politik. Auf dem Platz selbst: eine schwarze Kirche mit einer durchlöcherten Fassade aus Stahl, der Innenraum aber ganz in Holz und voller Licht. „UNPLATZ“ ist ein mehrjähriges Projekt, das durch künstlerisch-architektonische Installationen und performative Interventionen Öffentlichkeit schafft. Denn diesem Ort fehlt es nicht an Architektur, sondern an Bedeutung. Diskursräume und Pop-up-Formate setzen genau dort an und reflektieren die UNO-City nach 25 Jahren nicht mehr nur als Sicherheitszone und exterritorialen Raum, sondern als gemeinsamen Ort. <img width="1940" height="1200" width_o="1940" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2117a8f9d6ac3c93d85a3ed662501a6ba447db7e982a56bae3988e5c15730cc/web-unplatz_plan.png" data-mid="248722636" border="0" data-scale="72" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2117a8f9d6ac3c93d85a3ed662501a6ba447db7e982a56bae3988e5c15730cc/web-unplatz_plan.png" /> <img width="1695" height="1201" width_o="1695" height_o="1201" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0da9a8ccbbf2713dc6c0d53046b70f7aa85888bbd888d45d5ad7ae277febabc/260525_UNPLATZ_Programm-2026_Email-Format-1.jpg" data-mid="249481154" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0da9a8ccbbf2713dc6c0d53046b70f7aa85888bbd888d45d5ad7ae277febabc/260525_UNPLATZ_Programm-2026_Email-Format-1.jpg" /> <img width="1695" height="1201" width_o="1695" height_o="1201" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/27c06fc67fec489842e726a7eee82704cba66e7d40a11a2196313517c8950c80/260525_UNPLATZ_Programm-2026_Email-Format-2.jpg" data-mid="249481155" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/27c06fc67fec489842e726a7eee82704cba66e7d40a11a2196313517c8950c80/260525_UNPLATZ_Programm-2026_Email-Format-2.jpg" /> PROGRAMM&nbsp; 12.

Festival 2026 und der Gruppenausstellung POSITION + Liebe Kirchengemeinschaft, bis einschließlich Sonntag, den 5. Juli 2026, ist in unserer Kirche „Christus Hoffnung der Welt“ die Ausstellung POSITION +im Rahmen des UNPLATZ! Festivals 2026 zu sehen. Kuratiert von Architekt und Künstler Milan Mijalkovic und Galerie gezwanzig, und getragen von zahlreichen Künstlerinnen, Künstlern sowie Architekturstudierenden der TU Wien (Institut für Kunst und Gestaltung 1), lädt diese Ausstellung zu einem offenen, kritischen und durchaus herausfordernden Nachdenken über unsere Gegenwart ein. Manches, was in dieser Ausstellung gezeigt wird, mag irritieren. Manches mag verstören. Vielleicht berührt es auch christliche Empfindlichkeiten. Doch gerade darin liegt eine wichtige Aufgabe von Kunst – und auch eine zutiefst christliche Dimension: nicht nur zu schmücken, nicht nur zu beruhigen, sondern aufzurütteln, sichtbar zu machen, Widerspruch zu wagen und Fragen zu stellen, denen wir im Alltag vielleicht lieber ausweichen. Denn war Jesus Christus selbst nicht auch ein zutiefst unbequemer Geist seiner Zeit? Hat er nicht bewusst provoziert, wenn es notwendig war? Jesus hat nicht provoziert, um Menschen zu verletzen oder Aufmerksamkeit, um der Aufmerksamkeit willen zu erzeugen. Aber er hat provoziert, wenn religiöse Gewohnheit zur Selbstgerechtigkeit wurde, wenn Macht sich hinter Frömmigkeit versteckte, wenn Menschen ausgeschlossen, verurteilt oder übersehen wurden. Er heilte am Sabbat und stellte damit ein starres Gesetzesverständnis infrage. Er setzte sich mit Zöllnern, Sündern und Ausgegrenzten an einen Tisch und stellte damit gesellschaftliche und religiöse Grenzen infrage. Er sprach mit einer Samariterin, verteidigte eine Ehebrecherin, kritisierte die Heuchelei der Frommen und warf im Tempel die Tische der Händler um. All das war nicht angepasst, nicht bequem und sicher nicht konfliktfrei. Es war provokant – aber im Dienst der Wahrheit, der Barmherzigkeit und der Umkehr. Christentum ist daher nicht nur Trost, sondern auch Auftrag. Es darf nicht bloß bestätigen, was ohnehin alle hören wollen. Es darf fragen, widersprechen, stören und herausfordern. Ein Christentum, das nie irritiert, nie aneckt und nie gesellschaftliche Missstände benennt, läuft Gefahr, harmlos zu werden. Jesus selbst hat uns gezeigt, dass Glaube nicht Flucht aus der Welt bedeutet, sondern wache Auseinandersetzung mit ihr. Genau hier setzt die Ausstellung POSITION +&nbsp;an. Werke wie das Banner „DEMOKRATISCH GEKREUZIGT“, der Barockengel mit Maschinenpistole, der fragile UN-Helm oder die Arbeit „Only Slaves Go on Vacation“ stellen keine einfachen Antworten bereit. Sie öffnen vielmehr einen Raum des Nachdenkens: über Macht und Ohnmacht, Gut und Böse, Glauben und Zweifel, Demokratie und Manipulation, Frieden und Gewalt, Freiheit und moderne Abhängigkeiten. Gerade im Kirchenraum erhalten diese Arbeiten eine besondere Spannung. Sie treten in Dialog mit einem Ort, der Hoffnung, Gebet und Gemeinschaft bedeutet. Aber Kirche ist nicht nur ein Raum der Stille. Sie ist auch ein Raum des Gewissens. Ein Raum, in dem die Zeichen der Zeit wahrgenommen und geprüft werden dürfen. Ein Raum, in dem wir uns fragen müssen, was uns abstumpfen lässt, was uns manipuliert, was uns gleichgültig macht – und wo wir als Christinnen und Christen wieder wacher, mutiger und klarer werden müssen. Diese Ausstellung will niemandem den Glauben nehmen. Sie will ihn herausfordern. Sie will nicht zerstören, sondern zum Denken anregen. Sie ist ein Spiegel unserer Zeit – unbequem, vielschichtig und offen. Und vielleicht liegt gerade darin ihre geistliche Kraft: dass sie uns nicht fertige Antworten vorsetzt, sondern uns zum Hinschauen zwingt. Lassen wir uns daher nicht vorschnell von Irritation abschrecken. Lassen wir uns ein auf diesen Diskurs zwischen Kunst, Glaube, Demokratie und Zeitgeist. Denn eine lebendige Kirche darf Fragen aushalten. Ein lebendiger Glaube darf herausgefordert werden. Und ein Christentum, das sich an Jesus orientiert, darf auch heute provokant sein – dort, wo Provokation der Wahrheit, der Menschlichkeit und der Hoffnung dient. Gerade die Offenheit der Arbeiten macht POSITION +&nbsp;zu einem Ort des Diskurses – für Kunstinteressierte, Gläubige, Skeptiker, politisch Interessierte und alle, die sich mit den Herausforderungen der Gegenwart beschäftigen möchten. https://milanmijalkovic.com/Baroque-Parking-Garage Mon, 09 Jul 2018 11:02:55 +0000 Milan Mijalkovic https://milanmijalkovic.com/Baroque-Parking-Garage Baroque Parking Garage In February 2010, the Public Enterprise for Management of Residential and Commercial Properties of the Republic of Macedonia launched an open architectural competition for a parking garage in the city center of Skopje, which should provide 315 parking places as well as space for offices and retail. According to the competition brief, the garage should be designed in a “baroque, classic, neo-classic, romantic and neo-romantic style” (sic!). This garage is one of several parking facilities which are projected within the frame of “Skopje 2014”, a gigantic restructuring project that was presented by the populist conservative government in 2010. Almost twenty years after the dissolution of Yugoslavia, this project is reinventing and reaffirmating Macedonia´s seperable, undeniable and glorified national identity through urbanism and architecture. Macedonian culture is celebrated by a large number of memorials, religious symbols and new public buildings which are mostly designed in a historicist style. Neo-baroque is the favorite one, with its connotation of power and impact on the masses.&nbsp; <img width="1196" height="797" width_o="1196" height_o="797" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e4cafc6be041d92ad9a5dfea12a8d5208315d479baf4c5e8c3ecb78cba60661/Barock-Garage-Skopje-004_b.png" data-mid="20018679" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2e4cafc6be041d92ad9a5dfea12a8d5208315d479baf4c5e8c3ecb78cba60661/Barock-Garage-Skopje-004_b.png" /> The extensive use of these styles is supposed to establish Skopje as the European, Christian, bourgeois city that it has never really been – and to deny its oriental, Islamic as well as it socialist, modern past. All this is happening to a city that fifty years before has been declared an “Open City”, open to a society in flux. Following the devastating earthquake of 1963, a major international reconstruction effort under UN supervision was seen as an opportunity to rationalize the whole structure of the city. A totally new city center should be created, the Japanese architect Kenzo Tange was responsible for its master plan. The increasing mobility of the society has been one core topic of Tange´s plan, therefore he proposed a circulation system of concentric rings and radial axes, a transport hub called “City Gate” as well as facilities for individual parking beneath the high-density slab-block housing of the “City Wall”, originally planned for 30.000 inhabitants. Anyhow, the supply of parking facilities obviously didn´t match the needs of the time and they were soon transformed into private storage space, especially used by vendors of the nearby vegetable markets. <img width="1245" height="1245" width_o="1245" height_o="1245" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/476e700c22fea737f1e38b9d6d1013c80d0cf4e956ae4de51353b1e2b2416c09/Barock-Garage-Skopje-013.png" data-mid="20018686" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/476e700c22fea737f1e38b9d6d1013c80d0cf4e956ae4de51353b1e2b2416c09/Barock-Garage-Skopje-013.png" /> <img width="797" height="797" width_o="797" height_o="797" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/926de6ee0709052c7988e328c1a03df943a87db4ffa6039f5dd8193ff62c7696/Barock-Garage-Skopje-010.png" data-mid="20018683" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/797/i/926de6ee0709052c7988e328c1a03df943a87db4ffa6039f5dd8193ff62c7696/Barock-Garage-Skopje-010.png" /> In recent years, the traffic in Skopje rapidly increased and parking is organized rather wildly. The city is willing to solve the problem by offering additional multi-storey space for parking. In the 2010 competition for the garage, Milan Mijalkovic in cooperation with PPAG architects, Vienna handed in a project that subtly comments on today´s context of “Skopje 2014”. The project could not win the competition but it was purchased by the Public Enterprise and given to the city of Skopje (reportedly, through a personal intervention of the prime minister who was fond of the project´s façade). It was decided that the façade should be realized within another garage project that was already in the stage of planning and designed by two professors of the local faculty of architecture. There are several professors of the faculty who are – directly or indirectly – involved in the projects of “Skopje 2014” – a fact that might explain their rather cautious critique on the city´s antiquization. The proposed façade interprets the wish for a historicist appearance without explicitly using the traditional language of historicism. It adapts the baroque idea of creating reality by the means of illusive perspective.&nbsp; <img width="1200" height="240" width_o="1200" height_o="240" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e13ca6bc8b7d0566012dbf1592e11893033ee04c1c5604ce18ec0bff813d42a8/Barock-Garage-Skopje-012.png" data-mid="20018685" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e13ca6bc8b7d0566012dbf1592e11893033ee04c1c5604ce18ec0bff813d42a8/Barock-Garage-Skopje-012.png" /> Baroque artworks expand into the real space as well as vice versa the reality merges into the illusive perspective of the artwork. The starting point for the design of the façade is an amateur´s photograph showing a perspective view of historicist residential houses in Vienna. These distorted façades are multiplied and assembled to a surface of an unclear vanishing point. The surface is dissolved into four layers of tailored, shadow throwing composite panels on a steel construction. Transforming the familiar appearance of historicist residential houses into a strange cover of a “baroque garage” makes this new object uncanny, “unheimlich”. Although the reference is not very obvious, the beholder senses this uncanny, dreamlike – or nightmare like. This disturbing presence of the “baroque garage” subtly reflects the disturbing situation of “Skopje 2014”. Further information on the City of Skopje are summarized in our book "Skopje.

It was shown at Donau-City Church, Vienna, in June 2026, as part of POSITION +, a group exhibition I organized in cooperation with the art gallery gezwanzig.&nbsp;It was hung on the inside of the church’s entrance door — visible on the way out. <img width="1920" height="1514" width_o="1920" height_o="1514" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a574e08236c2997197ed0eee364bdd4e11b2a6788dd7af8ba0193d956f804f7c/Technoclasts-Postion-_3.jpg" data-mid="251734743" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a574e08236c2997197ed0eee364bdd4e11b2a6788dd7af8ba0193d956f804f7c/Technoclasts-Postion-_3.jpg" /> The poster appears in three languages and shows raised champagne glasses — a gesture of agreement, a symbolic pact: Technoclasts are emerging.
