Many artists established relationships with fellow artists, locals, musicians, writers and film makers.
 Information  EU citizens, the USA and Canada do not need visas for Serbia but as Serbia is not in EU you will need your passport.
The currency in Serbia is the DINAR   sign as RSD and the most banks abroad don’t stock the Dinar currency.
You can buy your currency at Belgrade airport when  you arrive or you could use Euros which majority shops  take. MasterCard and Visa are generally accepted  in shops, cafes and restaurants. Serbia is a 3G zone meaning you could call any part of the world from Serbia, using telephone connections.

Mosaic

There are two basic methods to mosaic work - the direct method and the indirect method. In the direct method, the pieces of material you are going to mosaic with, known as tesserae, are directly fixed top side up onto a base or substrate and then grouted. In the indirect method pieces are temporarily fixed top side down onto a removable base material. This is (then) cast in its final form and the temporary base material is removed to reveal the mosaic, top side up. The indirect method is most often used when the finished surface needs to be extremely smooth.

Mosaic by Veselinka Mclarnon 

Natural Stone
Includes everything from beach or river pebbles to marble, granite, slate and modern day stone tiles. They have a wide range of colors, textures and surfaces. Also included are semiprecious stones - turquoise, lapis lazuli, alabaster, quartz and agate.


Mosaic by RIley Greco

Ceramic Tile
  • Unglazed: Commonly found as 1" or 3/4" squares stuck to a paper or plastic mesh. The color is uniform throughout the entire tile.
  • Glazed: Includes wall and floor tiles, crockery, pottery, tableware and others. The color is a fired surface layer over a clay base. They are a rich source for color, pattern, and texture.

ARTIST RESIDENCY ERDEVIK SERBIA - 2010


2010 was the important year... full of changes and new beginnings.
We left London and decided to find a small village in Serbia and start new life, new art house, new projects, establish new collaborations, engage in critical thinking. 

Since 2010 we were faced with critical challenge to examine our beliefs, interpretations and horizons, also we had to re-examine ourselves in new contexts, in an attempt to develop new interests, to review the ways in which we understand ourselves and our place in the world...We bought a little mud house and started renovating it.


An old barn.... the future artist residency

Mud house was built in 1923, very warm in winter but cold in cool in summer, full of character....
