Woman about woman I
This exhibition gethering twenty female visual artists from region of Western Balkan, teritories of Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia and North Macedonia. Through liaison of female curators and female artists we raise awereness of female angle of observation and reaction to reality, in the creativity field of life. In direct contact with artistic processes, living creative energy, the role of us curators is in the process of the observation, gathering, capturing the present and documenting it. The two exhibitions „Woman about woman“, both in real space and virtua space, in the phisical reallity and virtual reallity will be testimony of that.
Why woman? Becouse only a woman knows what and how she feels.
Why about woman? Becouse a woman is a subject not an object.
Why art? Becouse it is closest at the truth.
Why region? Becouse of need to network.
Why project? To testify a present and carries of message.
The topic of women is not new. Throught of history of art, women have been and remain an inexhaustible motif. The inspiration of a woman in a specific way carries antipodes and rests somewhere on the line between borderline feelings towarrds her. Woman is a living organism and the best witness of our existence. Time flows and thoughts changes, and so does the role of women in society. This exhibition is dedicated to the topic of women, yet by women. It raises the question from the inside to the outside, about of her inner states of being. That is why it is an immediate and concrete, raw theme that opens up to the observer in direct comunication. It is not a close form of one’s vision but a moment of expressing a woman’s emotion in the process.
Nothing that the topic a women is very present in the art now, the artistic need to express women as active participants, and not the subject of worship or hatred, beauty or ugliness, lust or fear, this exhibition seeks to effer the new context of observation from reality, not just from theory. Focusing on the above it aims to provide insight into the female aspects of creativity today, to testify and document the present and activate the question of the extent to which the role of women in art is shaped by society and vice versa, how society affects women’s creativty. We are witnesses that there have always been women who appear nas individuals and leave an indelible mark in history and society, and this exhibition carries a message from the present.
Exhibition „Woman about woman“ is a part of the international project with more activities with the same aims, and implaying the direct connection between art and social reality, project starts from art becouse art is closest to the truth and most open to the experience and further communication. The selction of artists clearly indicates a combination of different forms of artistic expression from the same basis – the echo of the inner female being and the need to release the power she carries within herself, something as artistically shaped moan, scream, thoughts from which the idea was borned and formed the concept.
In accordance with contemporary trends and new media the artists epress themselves in a unique way in various media, from painting and drawing, through photography and sculpture forms and sculpture instalation, videos and to performance. Heterogenity of visual expression is a inevitable phenomennon of the modern age, as well as the diversity of media in which or with which thy are expressed. In addition to the media, diversity is also visible in different aproach to the women’s identities in contemporary art, from forms throuh abstraction to the feminist artistic practices. This exhibition tends to give some answer to that.
This, the first of two exhibitions Woman about woman includes artists pre-selected by noninstitutional curators with long life of curating practice form Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Croatia and Slovenia. For second exhibition selcting will be through open call, and it will be include more teritory from European Union.
