CURATORIAL STATEMENT

What I find intrinsically valuable in working with visual artists is creating a temporary or long-term collaboration which is not pre-made, but rather built along with the creative process, aiming towards the equality (in relations) of both actors. For me, each piece of research about new artworks and working with artists presents an opportunity for mutual creativity and inspiration, regardless of the scope of the collaboration in question (text, exhibition setting, concept, educative activities, among others). Also, I find this work an excellent point of intersection of new, different and compatible fields of knowledge, ideas and experiences.

In my practice, research and exploration of the art world undoubtedly tends to be understood and interlinked in a broader field of (primarily) social sciences, with a necessary critical reflection of my own position and context as a researcher. Juxtaposing perspectives I see as valuable means towards reaching a less-authoritarian and more conscious approach. Therefore, my main fields of experience, studies and interest so far are art history and contemporary arts, inter/trans-culturalism, anthropology, curatorial practices, global and experiential learning and post-colonialism studies, with a tendency to be expanded with new work challenges.

Until recently, my work was mostly focused on working in Serbia and the Balkan region, countries of the European Union and the Mediterranean sea, which is now shifting towards a more cross-cultural and trans-national work.
