He subsequently was invited to design the outfits for Galleria illy’s attendants…Here is an article about him from Sublime Magazine.

Normally the UNIDEE blog ends with our open studio event, however this year, post the aforementioned event we were extremely lucky to be invited to spend 4 days in Bordeaux. We went to France to attend the opening few days of Evento – Art for an Urban Re-Evolution of which Michelangelo Pistoletto is artistic director.

Residents meeting the people who will host them during their stay in Bordeaux…Incredibly kind, generous and open people who welcomed us into their homes and treated us like family. A HUGE thank you to all of them!!!

UNIDEE resident Aleksandrija Ajdukovic’ from 2010 has a show in Milan opening this week.

CARTE BLANCHE #5: Fashion in Biella Newsreel 2010
Palazzo Cordusio – UniCredit Branch, Milan
23rd September – 30th December 2011

“The show consists of a video work and a number of photographs by the Serbian artist Aleksandrija Ajdukovic, telling the stories of ordinary people through the clothes they wear in their everyday lives. The reference to the world of fashion emerges from the poses typical of professional models as struck by the protagonists of the photos: Fashion in Biella Newsreel 2010 in fact starts out from fashion only to then reveal the individuals points of view and the way they presents themselves to others.”
