Exhibition opening / Milena Vukoslavović

*In Croatian and English

Milena Vukoslavović crnogorska je slikarica koja će se izložbom “Nigdine” po prvi put predstaviti splitskoj publici. Slikarstvo kojim se trenutno bavi ima osnovu u crtežu i grafici, ali isključivo s aspekta promatranja neposrednog okruženja. Zanima ju životni prostor, objekti u prostoru, značenje i značaj prostora u svakodnevnom životu. U fokusu istraživanja prostora su mjesta koja su svojevrsna „ne-mjesta“ ne odražavaju identitet, društvene relacije ili povijest. Definira ih specifičnost pogleda, i tu je ključan trenutak promatranja: sada i ovdje. Pogled je to na svepostojeća, transformirajuća ili pak nepostojeća mjesta.

Milena Vukoslavović (1990., Bar) živi i radi u Podgorici. Studij grafike na Fakultetu likovnih umjetnosti Cetinje završava 2013. gdine. Bavi se crtežom, slikarstvom, zidnim slikarstvom i ilustracijom. Izlagala je na više skupnih izložbi u zemlji i inozemstvu.

_____

Milena Vukoslavović is a Montenegrin painter who will present herself to the Split audience for the first time with the exhibition “Nigdine”. The painting she is currently engaged in is based on drawing and graphics, but exclusively from the aspect of observing the immediate environment. She is interested in living space, objects in space, the meaning and significance of space in everyday life. The focus of her spatial research are places that are a kind of “non-places” that do not reflect identity, social relations or history. They are defined by the specificity of the view, and this is where the key moment of observation is: now and here. It is a view of omnipresent, transforming or non-existent places.

Milena Vukoslavović (1990, Bar) lives and works in Podgorica. She completed her studies in graphics at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cetinje in 2013. She is involved in drawing, painting, mural painting and illustration. She has exhibited in several group exhibitions in the country and abroad. She exhibited her paintings independently in the space of the CZ "Ribnica" in Podgorica, at the exhibition "Field Notes" (together
with Srđa Dragović) in 2021, and at the exhibition "More Pictures from Today's Walk" at the Modern Gallery - Museums and Galleries of Podgorica, (also with Srđa Dragović) in 2022. The same exhibition was shown in Belgrade, at the Studentski Grad Cultural Center in 2023. She has exhibited collectively in several group exhibitions and salons. As a visual artist, she was engaged in the international project "They Live - Student Lives Discovered Through Contextual Art Practices" (2022), managed by the Studentski Grad Cultural Center in Belgrade, and organized by the Institute for Contemporary Art. She was a resident at the Salzamt studio in Linz in 2023.
