Working with the charity War Child, Brian Eno has been a central figure in fundraising and awareness-raising for those suffering the consequences of war in the region and was instrumental in the opening of the Pavarotti Centre in Mostar. Under the name Passengers, his perhaps unlikely-sounding collaboration with U2 and opera singer Pavarotti resulted in the track “Miss Sarajevo” however he has more affinity with the region than this song title alone. Warning: contains some very strong language.Įno is well known in the music world for his collaborations with some of the biggest names going, including production credits for Talking Heads, Coldplay and David Bowie during his Berlin years. Watch Brian Eno talk about his work and the installation on the Facebook live stream below. The exhibition runs from 13 June to 29 August.
“You can still relate to it as a conventional painting, but you as a viewer are also aware that you will never see the same painting again.”
This is “an abstract piece” Eno says – a large scale music and light installation that the audience can explore as it changes and evolves slowly around them.
Brian Eno’s 77 Million Paintings has appeared in New York, on the sails of the Sydney Opera House and now will be installed at the History Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo in June 2018 with the support of the British Council’s Music team, Visual Arts team and our team in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
