Exhibition 'The Arrangement(s)' by Marine Marković

You are cordially invited to the opening of the exhibition 'The Arrangement(s)' by artist Marine Marković on Friday, June 28th at 7 p.m. at the Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art.
Exhibition curator: Teodora Jeremić
This exhibition represents in a certain way 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 primarily on power in relation to the female body.
Marina speaks the language of the corporeal, her practice is based on stripping down the structures that keep the subject in the illusion of attachment to a certain 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, use of institutions and individuals.
The permeability of these boundaries, and the dual nature of power that is constantly relinquished and taken up, 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 Marina will tattoo during the performance as a metatheoretical text. The authors of these texts are Ješa Denegri, Matthieu Lelievre, Lucrezia Nardi, Daniele Capra, ORLAN.
📌 The exhibition will be open until August 25, 2024.
