The participants, who visit Calculations and Coincidences with a guide, combine the dots, lines and geometric forms in the works with their creativity, reinterpret them with a different eye and transfer them onto biscuit ceramic plates or cups. The transferred drawings are glazed after the application of ceramic decoration techniques.
Note: Participants can pick up their ceramics, which will be sent for firing, from the museum within the time and date intervals to be shared with them.

About Damla Yeşiloğlu

Mersad Berber was born in Bosanski Petrovac, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, on January 1st. He was the first son of Muhammed Berber and Sadika Berber, a well-known weaver and embroiderer. A year later, the family moved to Banja Luka after the city had suffered damage from the World War II.
Mersad Berber (1940-2012), is one of the greatest and the most significant representatives of Bosnian-Herzegovinian and Yugoslav art in the second half of the 20th century. His vast body of expressive and unique works triggered the local art scene’s recognition into Europe as well as the international stage.
Inspired by the great European masters, from Renaissance to Art Nouveau, Berber’s works exemplify the deep, opaque whites of his journeys through the fairy tale landscapes of Bosnia to the dark, macabre burrows of Srebrenica.
