If you’re looking for art
Afrika Goran Jović at Ethnographic Museum: Jović photographs dominate the permeation of darkness and gaze. As a photographer, his pictures of male, female and children’s portraits are masterpieces in black or white.
“Boundary” Exhibition at Gallery of Fine Arts: Boundary is the video of Carlos Aires (Spain), Paola Canevari (Italy), and Aurore Reinhard (Finland) which links the appropriation and reinterpretation of historically recognizable cultural patterns taken from either high or popular art. These are templates that aestheticize the strength and importance of sex and sexuality, which at some historical point in time represented the provocation to eventually become the classics of their period or mainstream entertainment. By their reinterpretation, contemporary artists return the subversive charge and explore the penitential status and the relationship between sexuality and power, ideology, and sensuality.
Asti Miša at Info Zona – All Day: For the exhibition cycle of the younger generation, in October, Info Zona will host the exhibition Asti Miša! by Zrinka Ružičić. The young academic sculptor has found inspiration in mice and this is her third solo exhibition. The exhibition will be open at Šperun (Jerina 1) until November 3, 2017.
As if you need any more convincing of why you should get outside to enjoy this weekend, here’s a quick teaser for that extra push.
