EXPOSURES- Presentation of SpaPort – International annual exhibition of contemporary art and exhibition

majaa — Tue, 14 May 2013 08:19:07 +0000

This two years long project represents an exception of the ordinary curatorial praxis of annual or thematic exhibitions showing the artists’ final works. The new methodological model, which was introduced and successfully implemented, is based on the collective process of researching the wider context (political, social, intellectual) in which the art performs. In the final part – EXPOSURES – there were publicly shown all the phases of the work that the curators (altogether with numerous actors – participants in this two years long work in progress articulated through the debates, workshops and, in the end, the exhibition.

The main topics of the first part of the project – CAN YOU SPEAK OF THIS? YES, I CAN – were: “issue of collaboration, complicity, trauma articulation, issue of exile and returning, memory politics, language politics, politicization of art versus culturalization of politics. These issues, in the second part – EXPOSURES – through group gathering and generating of new, temporary communities of the artists, theoreticians, students and curators, become the groundwork of new collaborations initiating thus creation of the new vocabularies.”

During the exhibition, organized in the abandoned structure of the “Rudi Čajavec” factory, besides individual and group artworks and interventions, there were held series of public debates, presentations of the results of two years long research – film and video screenings, theatre shows footages. The majority of participants were coming from Banja Luka, Mostar, Tuzla, Trebinje, Sarajevo, Bosnian and Herzegovinian diaspora, Zagreb, Belgrade and Pristine.

The exhibition is consisted of the selection of the works already presented in EXPOSURES.

Solo exhibition of artworks by Boris Hodak

Surrealism, so common elsewhere in the world, is rare in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where it is more of an occasional outburst. One of the artists of the mid generation now involved in surrealism is Boris Hodak, whose work corresponds more to the world as a whole than to his own milieu. This exhibition is a retrospective view of his oeuvre of the past twelve years. As a final conclusion we have impression that the author is staying faithful to his surrealistic expression in total. This expression had a long process of maturing, from metaphysical style to pop surrealism including a slight touch with lowbrow art.

10. 12. – 16. 12. 2012.

The SEE New Perspectives: from Balkan Photographers exhibition presents the work of fifteen talented photographers from Southeastern Europe. They were selected to take part in a master class for professional photographers, organized by World Press Photo and Robert Bosch Stiftung in 2010. After the master class, they were asked to produce photo essays covering current issues in their region. The aim was to show the new local and regional realities and to inspire “new perspectives” of Southeastern Europe.
