ABOUT ARTICULATIONS

The “ARTiculations” project represents a platform for the establishment of site-specific art practices, by reactivating and reactualizing public spaces and institutions of significant socio-referential contexts. The project is formally implemented within а series of thematically engaged exhibitions as well as supporting programs, with the aim of mapping and promoting of sensitive social topics, by unifying their cultural, historical, monumental and architectural heritage, with poetic and critical expressions of artists from the region.

The “ARTiculations” project was found in 2018 as a result of cooperation between two artists - Tanja Jurican (Pancevo) and Ivana Ivkovic (Belgrade).


ARTICULATIONS I
2018

A group exhibition implied public opening of the abandoned architectural site of the Evangelical Church in Pancevo, closed for more than 50 years and almost devastated, as well as its recontextualization carried out through artistic interventions conceived as a kind of a dialogue to the specifics of "religion" and its relations to social practices of "belief" and "superstition", considered as distinctive agents of morality and identity.

The exhibition was realized in cooperation with referenced authors from the country and region: James Din, Emir Šehanović, Selma Selman, Siniša Ilić, Aleksandrija Ajduković, Adita Kaderić, Saša Tkačenko and Gildo Bavčević.

ARTICULATIONS II / “WOMEN’S PRISON - FREEDOM HOTEL”
2021

A group exhibition implied the encounter, as well as the juxtaposition of two significant spaces in Pancevo - old Austro-Hungarian prison cells located in the underground of the National Museum in Pancevo; and abandoned and almost devastated building of the former SLOBODA (translated from Serbian - Freedom) hotel – and it was realized through artistic interventions conceived as a kind of a dialogue to the the specifics of “women’s prison”, referring to the sensitive issues of a  female heritage and the experience of freedom in a hetero-normative environment of the patriarchal system.

The exhibition was realized in cooperation with 21 female authors from the country and the region, and it included a rich supporting program (professional guidance, discussions and forums) dedicated to the conceptualization of women’s activism as an art inspiration, but also as a practical and ideological assumption of freedom.
