Exhibition 'The Arrangement(s)' by Marine Marković

We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition: 'The Arrangement(s)' by artist Marine Marković on Friday, June 28 at 7 p.m. at the Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Exhibition curator: Teodora Jeremić
This exhibition somewhat represents the final part of a series of performances focused on the power dynamics in the world of art, within the art market, institutional policies, but above all, power relations with the female body.
Marina speaks the language of the corporeal, her practice is based on stripping down the structures that keep the subject in the illusion of adherence to a certain socially expected behavioral model, and through various media (video, installation, performance), and various forms of subordination and domination in relation to the female body, the author examines the subtle line between free will and biopolitical compulsion in a woman's life, the boundary between personal choices and societal pressures, art market demands, institutional uses and those of individuals.
The permeability of these boundaries, and the dual nature of power that is constantly surrendered and retaken, is further confirmed by the act of tattooing, that symbolic act of penetration of exoreality into endoreality, which occurs according to pre-established and agreed rules, sometimes between the author and various institutions, and this time between the author and art theorists who 'read', 'interpret', 'define' her work, and parts of whose texts Marina will tattoo during the performance. The authors of these texts are Ješa Denegri, Matthieu Lelievre, Lucrezia Nardi, Daniele Capra, ORLAN.
📌 The exhibition will be open until August 25, 2024.
