“The idea for the magazine was established soon after the introduction of sanctions in Yugoslavia, at the Anti-Embargo Congress of Networkers from Serbia, held by the beginning of September 1992 in Sremski Karlovci. That was when Aleksandar Jovanovic, together with seven other colleagues signed the decleration against the cultural embargo, 'Deblockade of Creativity', which circled the world and was published in various magazines. Aleksandar Jovanovic, known as the active visual poet and the author of performance art, publishes the first issue of the 'Cage' magazine with the intention to enlarge the existing group of colleagues, who each in his own way fought against the unreasonable and uncivilised isolation of Yugoslavia, and create a greater effect abroad.” Tisma, Andrej: The Anti-Embargo „CAGE” Magazine, in: Krovovi magazine No. 36-38, November 1996, Sremski Karlovci, Yugoslavia

„It was Tišma's largest project with 375 participants from thirty countries with thousands works send in. The idea of the project was proposed by a cosmetics factory from Osijek in Croatia, who wanted to sponsor the project. Tišma accepted on two conditions, namely that the documentation was a full colour book and they will send the invitations. They accepted and the project as an homage to nature started in 1988 and lasted one year. After colleting the material in 1989 the preparations for the book started, Pierre Rouve a professor and art historian from London was engaged to write an essay on Mail-Art as a foreword. And a young ecologist from Novi Sad was engaged to write on the catastrophic situation in the world. Tišma himself wrote an introduction about the project and searched for a printing-house. But situation was changing in Yugoslavia towards a civil war in Croatia when it became independent in 1991 and the contact with the cosmetics factory became lost. It made that Tišma had to search for other sponsors, yet he was able to exhibit the project in the summer of 1992 in Belgrade's 'Cultural Center Gallery'. It was soon after the cultural blockade was imposed and the project did receive interest by the media. Afterwards the show went to Novi Sad, Sombor, Zrenjanin, Sremski, Karlovci, Pristina, Nis,.... all over Serbia during the years of the international cultural blockade. Thanks to twelve other sponsors the catalogue could be printed and send to all the contributors.” Source: Atisma.com
