Thesis was that boat gives most autonomy concerning expression and mobility, as when it stands in international waters, it can broadcast completely autonomous material, and its mobility is more concerned on nature than on human laws. But, as later shown my labour was to no avail as boat was entangled to so many non-autonomous issues that the whole thing became a bad and ill body in need for shiatsu treatment so the blocks, knots and knobs can be released and energy can flow healthy again.

This is the diagram of the idea how to use boat that goes by the name Galeb. After so many escapades in recent history, as well as in the past, it is owned by city of Rijeka. As former president Tito’s boat, it is of cultural value that, as the case is showing is differently understood by me and city of Rijeka cultural and bureaucrat apparatus. Next diagram shows an idea for using the boat Galeb as a place where international partners would meet and offer new models for using and preserving this boat. It was supposed to be funded by IPA actions.

Now, this is the diagram of their blockage:

They didn’t understand our ideas that would provide larger autonomy for initiatives, networks and partners to create space for international projects. I bet Tito would like this.

In spite of all the blocking systems around IPA application was used for a boat:

As the ART01 event is master year exhibition, a set of cards depicting each students own design will be mixed in years printed representation. This is solution for ART01 as it shows graphically the process that will take place at ContentArt gallery. Beside being a part of catalogue it can also be used as invitation card for the event.

This diagram came up as a lament for artist and their chosen systems.

To be skilful administrator is something funding and project orientated artist has to learn during production periods. More funders means bigger amount of time spent on administration, but can also mean bigger autonomy and chance to hack. Also it can mean bigger autonomy on artist idea, where one funder, especially if it is a big company, will easily create certain systems and boundaries, if not rules where art process should go.

ART01 in Berlin was depending a lot on Ministry of Culture Croatia co-funding. But as situation with global crisis is wide spread excuse this days, and with national debt similar to Greece, political elite got a good idea how to take measures to stop crisis: give less money to culture. So, from original sum, a 10% was donated to ART01 project. This sum is not enough to even bring one participant to Berlin. This situation calls for administrative funding actions on all fields. Run for cash has started! Instead of looking for one bigger source ART01 will look for more smaller ones. Problems arising from this tactics is that all funding bodies are giving money for similar costs: travel and accommodation. As one has to prove with bills all the cost, some hacking and art-ministration will be required to get funds for other expenses such as costs for other participants, production, per-diems, etc.

Following two diagrams show what are good value vs. bad value funders, and what is stressed when writing applications with what funder. Another diagram shows how applications will be written but cash will flow to other costs.
