Ha! Otvaranje je bilo vrlo zanimljivo zato što se baš toga dana su tekli radovi na popločavanju ove ulice, a ja sam se dogovorio sa jednim drugom koji je imao bušilicu i te tiplove i sve to i bezbedili smo kabl jer je trebalo sprovesti struju do tamo. To je nekih 15, 20 metara odavde od prostorija gde se mi sada nalazimo, bivših prostorija Ilegalnih poslastičara, kasnije izdavačke kuće Kornet. Tako da se dogodilo da smo postavljali tablu tamo tačno u momentu kad su tamo popločavali i bilo je prepuno peska, smetali smo tim radnicima i oni su nama smetali i nije im bio jasno šta mi to radimo, šta sad mislim postavljamo neku ploču nije im bilo jasno da to nije... da ne radimo za grad, pošto ta tabla manje više izgleda kao i sve druge table. Jedino im je bilo čudno što je pod uglom od 90 stepeni, ali su oni mislili da to tako mora zato što je takav zid pa ne znam šta. Nisu se oni pitali ko je Salvador Dali. Čak je to izašlo u mnogim novinama, neposredno kad se pojavila ta tabla jer mi smo se kao multidisciplinarna grupa bavili svim i svačim pa i plasiranjem lažnih vesti i onda smo ovo pustili kao neku vest da je svečano otvoren ćošak Salvadora Dalija. To su skoro svi mediji objavili. Mnogi od njih nisu shvatili uopšte da je to neka vrsta umetničkog rada, nego su kao, čak se sećam i nekog naslova u nekim novinama pisalo je: Nije moglo drugačije. Znači, oni su shvatili da su oni morali da stavljaju tu tablu jer je takav zid. E sad, posle toga su krenuli grafiti na tom ćošku ali i na ćoškovima u ovom kraju. To je taj neki sam vrh Dorćola, ispod PMF-a, pa Jevremova, Kapetan Mišina, Višnjićeva i Jovanova ulica. Na svim ćoškovima je nešto počelo da se pojavljuje, a naročito na ovom čošku Salvadora Dalija. Za neke radove smo i saznali ko su autori. To se sazna preko fejsbuka i tako... kao, “a znam to je radio moj drug” i onda se ispostavi da ga poznajemo. Bilo je nekoliko onih stensila one klasične Dalijeve fotografije. One njegove iz profila sa karakterističnim brkovima. Čak 4 ili 5 različtih. Mislim znam da su različiti, nisu bili iste veličine i nisu bili isti sprejevi. Jedan od njih je i uokviren u okviru akcije Maje Radovanović, danas udate, ne mogu da se setim kako... koja je uokvirila u stvari uramila jedan od tih stensila Salvadora Dalija. U to vreme je niklo još nekoliko zgodnih grafita na tu temu i to je kao neki zlatan period tog ćoška koji je trajao možda jedno 6,7 meseci. Tad se pojavio i Mikrob. Sam se javio i rekao: “Ja bih isto da doprinesem nešto ćošku”. Postavio je jednu skulpturu svoju, neki ventilator. U to vreme je radio sa grupom Radar a ovo nije mogao kao Radar zato što nije imao saglasnost Mićunovu koji je bio drugi član te grupe nego je to baš bio njegov, Mikrobov rad. Možda čak i poslednji. Ne znam...vrlo brzo posle toga se razboleo i umro.

It was very fun at the opening day, because at the same time that very street was just being paved and me and my friend who had a drill and metal anchors and a cable because we had to bring electricity 20 meters away, from here where we are now – there used be an illegal confectionary here, and later there was a publishing house Ice Cream Cone. So we headed to hang the street plate as they were paving the street, so there was a lot of sand, and we were disturbing those workers as much as they were us, they had no idea what we were up to with the street plate, they thought the city must have sent us, because the plate is pretty much the same as other plates in the town, though it was odd that it was bent at 90 degrees, but they thought: “O well, that wall is uncommon”…Not for a second had they wondered who Salvador Dali might be. It was in the papers, just after the plate was set, because were are a multidisciplinary group that, above other things, deals with misinforming the public, so we released the news that there was The corner opening ceremony, and it was covered by all media, though many did not realize that it was a kind of artistic work but they wrote something like: “It had to be done that way”. So they understood that the plate had to be placed there regardless of such wall. After that, some graffiti appeared on that and other corners around there, at the Dorcol top, beneath The Faculty of Science: Jevremova, Kapetan Misina, Visnjiceva and Jovanova Street. Things were appearing on every corner, especially on the corner of Salvador Dali, and we managed to find out, via facebook, who the authors of some works were, and it turned out that we knew some of them quite well…There were several stencils of that photo of Dali’s face in profile with the famous moustache, 4-5 different ones, different sizes, different sprays. One of them was even framed during the action of Maja then Radanovic, and I can’t remember her married name. So she put a frame on that stencil, and some other stencils appeared in that time, so it can be considered a Golden age of that corner that lasted for 6-7 months. Even Microbe called and said that he wanted to give his own contribution to that corner so he placed one of his sculptures- a ventilator. In that time he was working with the group Radar, but Micun was against this, so Microbe did it on his own, and maybe it was his last work, I’m not sure…but soon after that he got sick and died.
