Adrian Klajo — Warding Off Crisis (exhibition)

Tomorrow the U10 gallery will open an exhibition by Adrian Klajo

Warding Off Crisis

The artist believes that the “creepy season” has long become a “creepy era” and what frightens us now are not ghosts but a polycrisis: climate, pandemics, wars. At the center of the exposition is the eponymous video cycle of short performances. In it, the protagonist attempts to dispel the crisis with rituals based on genuine folk magic, all held together by irony and dark humor.

Last year in Budapest this work received the Decode Ígéretes Projekt award. Also on display will be:

• the object “Mill for Nightmares”
• the photograph “The Funeral of the Crisis”
• a large wall installation-assemblage in the aesthetic of rural gothic

Klajo is an artist from Vojvodina, a graduate of the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, with eleven solo exhibitions to his name.
