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. Curator of the exhibition: Teodora Jeremić. This exhibition presents a final part of a series of performances focused on power dynamics in the art world, within the art market, institutional policies, but above all, power in relation to the female body. Marina speaks the language of the corporeal, her practice is based on stripping down structures that hold the subject in the illusion of adherence to a certain socially expected model of behavior, and through various media (video, installation, performance), as well as various forms of subordination and domination in relation to the female body, the author questions the subtle line between free will and biopolitical coercion in a woman's life, the boundary between personal choices and societal pressures, demands of the art market, the use of institutions and individuals. 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 penetrating the exoreality into endoreality, which happens according to predetermined and agreed rules, sometimes between the author and different institutions, and this time between the author and art theorists who 'read', 'interpret', 'define' her work and parts of their texts, as a meta-theoretical text, Marina will tattoo during the performances. The authors of these texts are Ješa Denegri, Matthieu Lelievre, Lucrezia Nardi, Daniele Capra, ORLAN. 📍 The exhibition will be open until August 25, 2024. 📷 Ivona Živulj.
