ARTWORKS SELECTION FROM ARTE GALLERY COLLECTION
September 20 – November 5, 2019
From September 20 in the newly opened space of the ARTE gallery at Kralja Milana 3, and in our gallery at Andrićev
venac 12, the audience will have the opportunity to enjoy representative works of large format from our collection.
This exhibition brings together the monumental and imposing works of the leading names of the Yugoslav / Serbian post-war art scene. The selection of works that make up the exhibition brings together in one place different directions, tendencies, painting groups and individuals who have acted in the 1960s, some of whom are still creatively active today. The setting before us can be seen as the aesthetic genesis of domestic artistic practices. It should be emphasized that the vast majority of artists are recognizable beyond the borders of our country, such as Vladimir Velickovic, Dušan Džamonja, Radomir Damnjanović Damnjan, Mrđan Bajić and Marina Abramović.
To unify, connect as a whole and equally emphasize the importance of each individual was a special pleasure and challenge. As the work of the ARTE Gallery is closely related to collectibles, the large-format exhibition is a display of diligent collection and careful selection of collectibles of particular importance. The three-dimensional spatial shapes are reminiscent of the importance of sculpture as an art form that provokes, sends a certain message, or simply demonstrates a mastery of aestheticization by the author through various means of expression, whether it is a choice of materials or stylistic means.
The exhibition will be open until November 5, 2019.
FIRST TIME IN BELGRADEIt is our great pleasure to point out that for the first time in Belgrade the conceptual image of Marina Abramovic Oblak will be exhibited in the ARTE gallery in Kralja Milana 3.– I always had intense dreams and my first the pictures were the pictures of those dreams. I used to tell them to my grandmother with homemade coffee and she interpreted them, because every thing in the dream has some meaning. I enjoyed those conversations, and then I would pull into my studio and take pictures. Later I started painting car accidents and then came the cloud period. I watched them often lying on the grass and one day this observation was suddenly interrupted by planes, which appeared out of nowhere leaving a beautiful pattern in the sky that had been there for a while, then slowly faded away. At that moment, I realized that everything could be used to create and that there was no reason to limit myself to studio painting. I was most fascinated by the abstract of the airplane drawings, Marina said in an interview with the Weekly.
