Group of activists attack the Venice Biennale
Venezia, 4 September 1999

 

 

 

On September the 4th an unidentified group of people intervene at the Venice Biennial of Art, pasting hundreds of stickers on sculptures, photos and paintings. The stickers show a cross and the writing "Darko Maver 1962 – 1999". According to the press:

«They are the dates of birth and death of the Serbian artist Darko Maver that recently made people talk about him everywhere, especially after his death, which took place in May '99 in the jail of Podgorica».

The day after, when the action is discovered, the works get "restored".  Nobody will get to know who the authors of this action are, an action that will remain unclaimed.
