Go_HOME grows out of the recent history of the former Yugoslavia and the need to include both European and American participants in dialogue around the meaning of "home". In September 2001 Danica Dakic and Sandra Sterle will come to New York for a fifth-month residency. The artists will establish an experimental open-door "home" in NYC linked to a virtual home on the internet. Dialogues and artistic projects at the "open home" will be structured between artists, immigrants and refugees, academics, policy-makers and the interested public from the US and abroad. By translating domestic space into a creative forum for art-making and dialogue, the project examines from multiple perspectives immigration and physical, psychological and cultural dislocation.
