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 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 structures that hold the subject in the illusion of attachment to a specific 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 questions the fine line between free will and biopolitical coercion in a woman's life, the boundary between personal choices and societal pressure, 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 exoreality into endoreality, which happens according to predetermined 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 whose parts of texts, as a meta-theoretical text, 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.
