April 1 – April 29, 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solo exhibition of artist Nikola Mihajlovi\u0107, “Transmutation,” opened on April 1 at the “Balkan” cinema. In this exhibition, the artist presented works created over the past year, during which he worked in the studio of the “Balkan” cinema. The opening also featured a live performance, during which the artist made an intervention on one of his paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nikola Mihajlovi\u0107 reflected on the essence of his performance: “In today’s moment, in the time we live in, I believe it is necessary for every individual to give a part of themselves\u2014to sacrifice a part of themselves for some collective good and an idea that should be conveyed, because the path we are on will not take us far. I sacrificed a part of myself for the sake of a direct message.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ksenija Samard\u017eija, curator of the exhibition and director of the Sa\u0161a Mar\u010deta Foundation, spoke about the collaboration with Nikola Mihajlovi\u0107: “We made efforts to create opportunities for this exhibition to be prepared slowly and thoroughly. Nikola worked for a long time, with dedication and seriousness. The exhibition confirmed our initiative to involve street art artists in the work of the ‘Balkan’ cinema and the Foundation, and to showcase their works. The connection between the curator and the artist, and the entire support system, is what matters. That\u2019s why this exhibition is significant to me, as I see it from that perspective.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
