Exhibition "#FF0000" by Konstantinos Petrović

Join us for the opening of the solo exhibition "#FF0000" by Konstantinos Petrović, on Wednesday, July 3rd at 7 PM at the SULUJ Gallery.
The #FF0000 artwork represents a continuation of the #FFFFFF work in which Konstantinos Petrović, in a form he creates, draws lines in the designated field, then records data he noticed before and after drawing the lines.
The recorded information includes tools, manufacturer, technique, year of creation, year of import, length of tool's duration, but most importantly, the measurement of the line length that can be drawn with the given tool the artist used.
As Konstantinos' approach in the series of #FFFFFF works is based on analytical collection, selection, measurement, counting, recording, classifying, and other office work principles, the #FF0000 work was created in 2021 at the Jalovik colony.
The principle is almost the same: creating a form, recording the length of the drawn line, but this time, the artist sets a time frame for himself. Working hour or working day (8 working hours). In this case, the parameters on the form are different. Based on the line length, number of working hours, and official calculations for measuring the minimum wage per working hour and the minimum wage in the Republic of Serbia, Konstantinos records how much his line costs, or how much the artist's working hour is valued, as well as how to calculate the minimum price of the resulting artwork based on these parameters.
