ENS\u014c \u2014 Solo Exhibition by Nata\u0161a Perkovi\u0107 at the National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n
May 8 \u2013 May 29, 2025<\/span><\/h5>\n
Opening: May 8, 2025 at 7:30 PM<\/span><\/h5>\n

The National Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina is proud to present ENS\u014c, the first solo exhibition by designer Nata\u0161a Perkovi\u0107. The exhibition opening will take place on May 8, 2025 at 7:30 PM at the National Gallery of BiH.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition features three furniture collections \u2013 Elle, Air,<\/em> and Zen<\/em> \u2013 all produced by the local company GoEs. The exhibition title, ENS\u014c, semantically summarizes key aspects of the designer\u2019s artistic expression. In Zen philosophy, ens\u014d denotes a hand-drawn circle created with a single stroke. Symbolizing enlightenment, elegance, and strength, this circle emerges when the liberated mind allows the body to create freely. Observing the furniture pieces from Perkovi\u0107\u2019s studio, one might assume they were similarly formed in one stroke through the bending of wood\u2014their visual minimalism, devoid of carvings or embellishments, presents beauty as sophisticated aesthetics.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition is accompanied by a rich public program. The ENS\u014c Round Table, where local and international experts will discuss the future of design and the furniture industry in Bosnia and Herzegovina, will take place on May 21, 2025 at the National Gallery of BiH and the Foreign Trade Chamber of BiH. The ENS\u014c Workshop, offering young designers and students an opportunity to learn and actively contribute to shaping the design landscape, will begin with introductory lectures on May 22, 2025 at the Academy of Fine Arts Sarajevo, followed by hands-on exercises at the National Gallery of BiH on May 23, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n

The exhibition will remain open until May 29, 2025, and can be visited during regular working hours.<\/span><\/p>\n
