News – Dusanka Komnenic Wins ‘AsylumNYC’ – New York

Serbian artist Dusanka Komnenic has won the ‘AsylumNYC’ prize, organised by Martin Rosengard of Wooloo Productions. The competition saw ten foreign artists present a performance based work at the White Box Gallery, New York. In this, those involved each created a fake detention centre with the help of white tape. Dusanka is an instructor at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and graduate of the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade. As winner of ‘AsylumNYC’, she’ll be granted free aid from an immigration lawyer, who will hopefully help her secure a three year visa to the US.
