AN ARTIST – A VICTIM OR A PROVOCATEUR?

Slaven Tolj: Srđ je naš (Srđ is Ours), Galerija P74, Ljubljana, June 2 – 29, 2012.

By: Žana Vukičević

The fight against corruption, the dissatisfaction with the processes of privatization, the burgeoning of capitalism, as well as the resistance against drastic social stratification as their direct and inevitable consequence are commonplace in a modern democratic society. The phenomena caused by the existence of such negative factors are present and appear almost on a daily basis in the form of public protests, demonstrations, petitions, and similar kinds of civil actions.

ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS SAŠA MARKOVIĆ MIKROB…

Exhibition: Goodbye Underground: Saša Marković Mikrob, Salon of Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Belgrade| February 27 – March 18, 2012

By: Ana Bogdanović

For Saša Marković Mikrob (1959-2010), also known as the Mexican, the Groom, Bamboo and Ganesh, we can safely say, without any exaggeration, that he enjoys a cult status on Belgrade’s art and cultural scene in the recent decades. Through active and very specific involvement in the domain of visual art, journalism and authentic social activism, he has left a varied and comprehensive opus that has been reverently explored in this homage exhibition Goodbye Underground: Saša Marković Mikrob, at the Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade. Drawings, masks, fanzines, photo booth materials, documents of his performances, actions and exhibitions, as well as video works, CD covers and installations are all on display in a precise, measured and communicative concept by Dejan Sretenović, the curator.  more >

AESTHETICS IS DEAD, LONG LIVE AESTHETICS?

Exhibition: Art is Beautiful, Art Pavilion, Zagreb, November 10 – December 31, 2011

By: Tihana Bertek

Art is Beautiful is a multi-layered project, both conceptually and practically, designed for the Art Pavilion in Zagreb and managed by the sculptor, designer and exhibition author Ante Rašić. This multimedia exhibition with a provocatively banal title happens on several levels and in several stages. Although the entire concept is based on sculptural installation/space intervention, Rašić also uses elements of performance, audio and urban installation, all supported by elaborate web and Facebook pages.
