SUBA Confessions
The exhibition SUBA Confessions will be set up in Limanski Park, on Mast Square, from June 23 to September 20.
On the occasion of the birthday of the pioneer of electronic music in this area, Mitar Subotić Suba, an exhibition of artistic flags will be set up in Limanski Park, which symbolically speaks of his extraordinary philanthropy and the rich legacy of the Mitar Subotić Suba Foundation. On the Mast Square, photos, visuals and drawings will be displayed, which, intertwining with the wind and the voices of birds, will create a specific and always different soundscape with the music of The Dreambird, returning us to the very source of Suba’s artistic creation.
The ecological ambient sound projection The Dreambird was first staged by Suba on June 13, 1987, in Novi Sad, on the banks of the Danube. The speakers were placed above the ground, to enhance the interaction with sounds from the natural environment, bird calls interspersed with electronic tones. At the same time, The Dreambird recalled a time when recordings of the environment were discovered as forms of music emphasizing the archetypal connections between man and nature. The space on the river bank was filled with sound for twelve hours, and the entire happening was completed with sound, light and laser effects. The music for this installation was recorded by Mitar Subotić Suba and Goran Vejvoda in Paris in 1987, using as a musical template the Japanese CD Bird Island Seychelles with field recordings of the sounds of exotic birds and sea waves, on top of which they layered other musical layers. Although it was not originally planned for this work to be published, the publishing house Paulinas, within the framework of the Catholic nunnery, printed the recording of The Dreambird by Mitar Subotic Suba and Goran Vejvoda in a small edition as meditation music. It was Suba’s first music project in Brazil. The album The Dreambird was released in its entirety by Brazilian label Luga Alto in 2022 using master recordings from the Subotic family archive. Studio Sometimes Allways designed the edition with drawings by Arthur Long, a French snowboarder and artist.
