Opus Duo

Opus Duo

2018, performance, Street Gallery, Belgrade

The performance took place in the Street Gallery in Belgrade during the opening of my solo exhibition "Omnipresent". During the performance, I cut 20 euro banknotes and distributed one half to random visitors. With each half, the lucky winner received a certificate with the serial number of the banknote, the author's signature and the text:

„On May 5, 2018, the owner of this certificate took part in the artistic work of Mića Stajčić called "Opus Duo". On that occasion, the artist handed him half of a 20-euro banknote. At the moment of handover, the potential nominal value of the received object is 10 euros, if the owner of one half agrees with the owner of the other half on further cooperation and merging the banknote into the original form (cashing). At the same time, the value of the received object as a work of art is unknown, but it is certain that over time it will exceed its nominal value. The purpose of this certificate is to confirm the authenticity of the received object."

A total of 20 banknotes were distributed. It is unknown how many of them were cashed and how many were retained.
