Each year, Kolektiv invites a guest curator who determines the theme in accordance with their own research and leads and develops the programme in cooperation with the team of the gallery. In this way, Kolektiv Gallery opens a space for developing the research works in the field of curating/exhibiting practices within architecture.
Curator for the season 2020 is architect Marija Bjelić.

Your arrival in Lime Street, when you step off the train, begin to get into the things you came here to do, is a meeting-up of tra- jectories as you entangle yourself in stories that began before you arrived. This is not the arrival of an active voyager upon an awaiting passive destination but an intertwining of ongoing tra- jectories from which something new may emerge. Movement, encounter, and the making of relationships take time. – Olafur Eliasson, Your Gravitational Now
The upcoming 3m3 exhibition season questions the temporal aspects of architecture, with its possibly timeless, yet clearly disposable results and products. The pressure of our ever-accelerating surroundings transforms everything we would normally observe as relevant, as a context, as a concept, as the way things work.
The present moment seems close at hand, yet it is difficult to seize. It is time for us to rethink the space of our creation, living, and thinking. What is it we call our identity?
We ask these questions by introducing Deleuze’s understanding of the term milieu as environment, context, territory.The environment of ideas and of bodies shapes their invention or development, just as environments of ideas, materials and politics, shape buildings, and the environments within and around them, that shape us in return. This process has a cyclic pattern – it is repetitive, it evolves and survives. It is this process that we think, live, and create within.
Ideas need a milieu, made up of other ideas and practices, and a given milieu will allow some ideas to flourish while others do not stand a chance. How do we spot / choose / understand / follow / escape / step into the milieu? Thoughts, observations, opinions, choices in architectural practice can be planned or accidental – we adjust to them, or we fight them.
What are the questions that we direct to space, the city, our colleagues, co-citizens, and which of these are we aiming at ourselves? What were we thinking? Of what were we thinking? Where were we, while thinking? And how did that specific thought cross our mind?

The following projects are done in season 2019:
Kolektiv arhitekata svake sezone poziva novog kustosa 3M3 programa, koji određuje temu u skladu sa ličnim istraživačkim radom, vodi i razvija program sa učesnicima i timom galerije. Na ovaj način galerija otvara prostor za kustosko – istraživački rad u arhitekturi.
Kustos sezone 2019 je arhitekta Marija Bjelić.

Nova 3M3 sezona će ispitati temporalnu komponentu arhitekture, sa njenim potencijalno vanvremenskim, a očigledno potrošnim rezultatima i proizvodima. Pod pritiskom konstantnog ubrzanja naših okruženja, menja se sve što smatramo relevantnim, što vidimokao kontekst, kao koncept, kao zakonitosti po kojima stvari funkcionišu.
trenutak nam je na dohvat ruke, ali ga je teško uhvatiti. Vreme je da preispitamo kakav je prostor u kome stvaramo, živimo, mislimo? Šta je naš identitet?
Ova pitanja postavljamo uvodeći Delezovo tumačenje pojma milieu kao okruženje, kontekst, stanište. Misaona i fizička okolinaoblikuju nastanak i razvoj entiteta ideja i materije. Sredina sačinjena od ideja, materije, politike… oblikuje zgrade i ambijente unutar i van tih zgrada, što za uzvrat određuje stanje nas samih. Ovaj proces je cikličan –ponavlja se, menja, traje i opstaje. U ovom procesu mi mislimo, živimo i stvaramo.
Idejama je potreban milieu, satkan od misli, tela i pravila.U istom miljeu jedna ideja će procvetati,dok druga neće dobiti ni šansu da nastane. Kako uočiti / izabrati / razumeti / ispratiti / nastaviti se na / pobeći od / ući u milje? Mišljenja, stavovi, uglovi, izbori u struci mogu biti slučajni ili namerni, njima se prilagođavamo i protiv njih se borimo.
Koja pitanja treba da postavimo prostoru, gradu, kolegama, sugrađanima, a koja od tih pitanja zapravo postavljamo sebi? Na šta smo mislili? I o čemu smo mislili? Gde smo bili dok smo mislili? I kako nam je baš to palo na pamet?
