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 28 at 7 pm, at the Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Exhibition curator: Teodora Jeremić
This exhibition in a way represents the final part of a series of performances focused on issues of power relations in the art world, within the art market, institutional policies, but above all the power in relation to the female body.
Marina speaks the language of the corporeal, her practice is based on stripping the structures that hold the subject in the illusion of attachment to a certain socially expected model of behavior, and through various media (video, installation, performance), and different forms of subordination and domination regarding the female body, the author questions the delicate 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, uses of institutions and individuals.
The permeability of these boundaries, and the dual nature of power that is constantly relinquished and taken over, is further confirmed by the act of tattooing, that symbolic act of penetrating exoreality into endoreality, which occurs 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 whose texts, as metatheoretical texts, Marina will tattoo during 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.
