The new solo multmedia exhibition No Longer and Not Yet by the art duo diSTRUKTURA deals with the
changes and the newly created liminal spaces, resulting from the major urban
development project in the Belgrade borough, Savalama. This border zone, or
interspace, where urban, architectural as well as social and political
transformations take place, can be interpreted as a place of transition,
waiting and disorientation, that is situated between what once was and what is
yet to come.
These are the spaces that separate between the outer and the inner, the public
and the private, the history and the future, the real and the virtual – spaces
that are on the brink of transformation, existence and vanishing. Such spaces
become a symptom of a society in transition, and their ambivalence marks the
relationship between totalitarianism and liberalism, socialism and capitalism,
totalitarian lies and everyday life.
In their artistic practice, the art duo diSTRUKTURA examines the expanded
notions of nature today, including different forms of nature, pseudo-nature and
artificially created nature, i.e. urban constellations. By defining the
relations in these newly formed structures that can be real or simulated, they
constitute the reality of contemporary life. In their works, motifs of nature and
cities from around the world become objects of isolated contemplation, that
invite the spectator to join in this contemplation.
In their investigations of urban spaces, diSTRUKTURA often follows the model of
situationist psychogeography, that relies on the concept of urban nomadism as a
strategy for exploring cities. This strategy, which resembles a game,
encompasses everything that leads the pedestrian outside of their predictable
path, giving them new insight regarding the urban landscape, with the goal of
mapping uncharted spaces and sometimes less desirable but often more personal
paths. One of these works, a video made in 2013 in the Belgrade borough of
Savamala discovered these streaming currents, a path in Savamala that is not
defined by its architecture, but rather by the emotions and the memories of its
inhabitants. It was precisely this work that served as a starting point for the
new exhibition at the Salon. The exhibition examines this space at a distance,
six years later, presenting the large and the visible architectural, urban and
also political transformations.
Milica Milićević and Milan Bosnić graduated and
received their MA at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, at the Department of
Painting. From 2005, they have been working together as the artistic duo
diSTRUKTURA, examining the expanded notions of nature today, including
different forms of nature, pseudo-nature or artificially created nature, i.e.
urban constellations. Their aim is to define the relations in these newly
formed structures, which can be real or simulated, and constitute the reality
of contemporary life. They participated in over 30 solo exhibitions and more
than 60 group exhibitions in Serbia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Romania, France,
Italy, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Japan, Slovakia,
Czechia, Montenegro, Croatia, Hungary, Finland and Egypt. diSTRUKTURA
participated in artist-in-residence programs and workshops in Spain,
Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Slovenia, Italy, Finland, Egypt and
Serbia. They won numerous awards and fellowships, including the Pollock-Krasner
grant for 2015. Their works are in over 15 public and private
collections.
