Hot Exhibition

Key terms:

installation, text, space, materials (construction, mechanical, craft), identity, gender roles, information manipulation, lies and truth, paradox, ambivalence, ambiguity of language, ambiguity of words

Through installations, I experiment with space and different materials from mechanics, construction and crafts. I use ambiguity (ambiguity of language) to show contrasts and tensions in society. I record sentences spoken by other people and interpret them through different media emphasizing the thread of paradox in them.

Vagon Gallery proudly presents “Hot Exhibition” by artist Marijana Đaković, the product of a prestigious award presented at the Final Exhibition of the Academy of Arts, University of Banja Luka. This award allows promising young artists to present their work through a solo exhibition and artistic production. Vagon Gallery, as a space dedicated to young contemporary artists, provides a unique opportunity for talented students to present themselves in a gallery context. With the support of the Vagon Gallery’s professional team, the awarded artists have the opportunity to exhibit their works to a wider audience and establish professional contacts. The award is not limited only to the exhibition and production aspect, but also has an educational character. Through promotion, concretization of work, exhibition and affirmation, the awarded artists gain valuable experience and knowledge that helps them affirm themselves on the local, regional and even international scene. With this project, Vagon Gallery continues to advocate for the development and support of young artists, providing them with a platform for expression and further professional growth.
