Gorki list creativity award in 2007 was given to:
Nebojša Glogovac, Actor
With his roles in the movie „Trap“and in the play „Huddersfield“ Glogovac made exceptional creative impact. Giving his own seal to these roles, (in both cases leading roles but diametrically opposed in their nature) and bringing his performance to masterly heights, he managed to accentuate the messages, very appropriate for the times and utterly humane.
In the film and the play „Huddersfield“ through his part as Ivan, he sends the message that not everything is final, that moving forward is possible and also a necessity, that we must not forget the human aspect in others and within ourselves…
In the movie„Trap“he candidly paints the „crossroads“and articulates readiness of man to suffer greatly for the good of those that are close to him.
With strong emotions and authenticity in all of his performances, Nebojša Glogovac, among other things, sets whole new criteria for the art of acting.
Dušan Kojić Koja, Musician
Influential artist, whose rock and roll workshop produces eagerly, awaited innovative songs.
This year, form Koja’s „workshop“we got an excellent album, in Serbian language, titled “When you say music, what exactly do you mean, please tell me?”. Discipline in its true form. Noisy, true to itself, innovative, yet bluntly honest. Without compromise, pretence or unnecessary fuss. In line with the cultural and thought-through resistance as a mean of expression of his band “Disciplina kičme”. A band popular in Britain which does not cash on the fact, because they consider music business in Britain to be unwilling to allow individual actions of merging genres which seemingly do not touch, namely, rock and dance music, and that was the pioneering work of the band. Koja is the author of music for the films: „Promising lad“, „Beautiful women walking through the city“a „The way rock’n’roll tumbled-down “.
Ana Ljubinković, Fashion Designer, Fine Artist
Certainly one of the most inventive and imaginative creators of fashion in Serbia. Her clever and playful creations constantly remind us of her fine-art roots. She comprehends fashion as “space” in which she can artistically express herself and her individuality. Her latest collection “Sugary hiccup”, which was her fifth presentation at the BFW in October 2007, marks her major artistic rise. It is her first collection for men, for the Autumn/Winter 2007/08. Application of animal prints which Ana personally created for this collection, is an indication of her further original artistic development. As a person who truly appreciates animals and is against animal cruelty, she never uses fur or leather, so this was a perfect way to express her ethical standpoint.
Raša Popov, authentic wise man, writer, seasoned TV reporter and journalist writing for Kikinda Daily.
He had always devoted himself fully to everything that touched him, where others have seen just an empty, dull space, he always managed to find something of interest, but also encouraged others to do so, to discover virtue and take a stand against hypocrisy, boredom and grouchiness, lies and prejudice, deceit and worthlessness.
In the true meaning of the word – he always tried to demystify, refresh and to prove his point, to create new literary work and enrich the world with it… Those aspirations are clearly seen in his books of poetry: „Two eyes“, „Iron donkey“, „Toad who wouldn’t keep quiet“, „Rotting head“, in his plays: „Wardrobe of historic significance“and „New man at the flower square“, and in his introductions written for the Pčese books.
Rasa Popov is one of the writers with a unique gift for innovation, always unpredictable and able to demonstrate his forethought with his writing.
Rastko Ćirić, grand master and activist of all visual disciplines
One of very few personalities with an impact of renaissance proportions: he is a graphic artist, designer, cartoonist, musician, educator at the Faculty of Applied Arts, author of several books. Picture books are a part of his life ever since he was a boy. Illustration became a connecting point in everything he does, it transcends all media. He devoted his music album „Tree Rubber Soul Project“ to the „Beatles “, and in his truly original way, marked the 27th anniversary of Lennon’s death by playing in Liverpool this year.
Any project Rastko Ciric undertakes creates an intelligent merriment, including his widely acclaimed invisible drawings.
