                            Background

Surrend is the name of a satirical art-group. The members are: Jan Egesborg, Pia Bertelsen. The group started during the funeral of Serbian war criminal Slobodan Milosevic in the winter of 2006.

The idea behind Surrend is to make fun of the world’s powerful men and crazy ideological conflicts.

Surrend consists of independent artists – and is not connected to any NGO or political party.

Surrend uses the street as its exhibition space. And Surrend uses stickers, ads, websites and posters with ironic texts as its expression medium.

So far, Surrend has been in Serbia, Belarus, Turkey, Poland, Sri Lanka, Faroe Islands, Iran, Germany, Russia, Austria, Burma and Zurich.
