Exhibition "The Arrangement(s)" by Marine Marković

We are pleased to invite you to the opening of the exhibition: "The Arrangement(s)" by artist Marine Marković on Friday, June 28th at 7:00 PM, at the Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Exhibition curator: Teodora Jeremić
This exhibition in a certain way represents the final part of a series of performances focused on questions of power relations in the world of art, within the art market, institutional policies, but above all on power in relation to 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 model of behavior, 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 boundary between free will and biopolitical coercion in a woman's life, the boundary between personal choices and societal pressures, demands of the art market, institutional and individual uses.
The permeability of these boundaries and the dual nature of power that is constantly surrendered and assumed is further confirmed by the act of tattooing, that symbolic act of penetration of exoreality into endoreality, which happens according to predetermined and agreed rules, sometimes between the artist and different institutions, and this time between the artist and art theoreticians who "read," "interpret," "define" her work and whose parts of texts, as meta-theoretical 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 25th, 2024.
