Magic Box is an art installation by artist Branko Pavic, conceived as a part of national exposition of Serbia at 2007’s Prague Quadrennial, the largest exhibition of scenography and theater architecture in the world.
Instead of Quadrennial’s traditional format of exhibiting the national’s theater production, Serbia was presented by the single original art work, which was also a place to host related events during the festival.
This installation marked a shift towards new tendencies, and contributed to a debate which eventually resulted in a change of the focus of the Quadrennial itself: it became The Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space, “with the goal of including a wider scope of artists disciplines, and genres, to break down the often imaginary differences between them.“
