Her work has been exhibited extensively including: solo shows at the Guggenheim Museum, New York and the PBICA, Lake Worth, Florida. T She has taught at several institutions, including the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2005), and has published a number of essays on contemporary urban architecture. Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss (*1967), architect, is based in New York City. He is founder of the “Normal Architecture Office” (NAO). Weiss studied at the University of Belgrade and at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University. From 1998-2003 he collaborated with Sabine von Fischer as the “normal group for architecture”. He is also a founding member of the School of Missing Studies. Marjetica Potrc and Srdjan Weiss work together researching the current urban “Do-It-Yourself”-dynamics of the cities in the West Balkans and how one could use these dynamics to define new strategies in town-planning. They reconsider our conventional notions of taste and style with respect to the personalized and self-built architecture of this region. Talking Cities presents a projection of the combined work of Potrc and Weiss: the “Fences of Balkanisation”. In a detailed photographic documentation and analysis they examine the individualistic trend towards homebuilding in the successor states of Yugoslavia, which appear to be leading towards a happy but complete segregation of individual groups: „We are all in it – separate.“
