BPM 2020/1: Tako je talasao NOVI TALAS – Radio Beograd 202 uz podršku Jugotona

10. maj u 12 časova
RTS klub
Hilandarska 2

Povodom obeležavanja 40 godina novog talasa, Radio Beograd 202 u saradnji sa Jugotonom organizuje izložbu Tako je talasao NOVI TALAS. Ovaj sveumetnički pokret koji je pomerio granice popularne kulture, ostavio je dubok trag u našem društvu i danas se, iz više uglova, može posmatrati kao fenomen. Trenutak koji se smatra početkom novog talasa u SFRJ je objavljivanje albuma Paket aranžman, pre tačno četiri decenije. Na izložbi će biti prikazan proces stvaranja ovog, višestruko značajnog izdanja, kao i niz do sada neobjavljenih fotografija i artefakata koji su pratili glavne aktere novog talasa na prostoru bivše Jugoslavije.

Izložba će trajati do 6. juna 2021.

BPM 2020/1: Those Were the Waves of the NEW WAVE – Radio Beograd 202 powered by Jugoton

RTS klub
Hilandarska 2

On the occasion of 40 years of New Wave, Radio Belgrade 202, in collaboration with Jugoton publishing house, are organising an exibition titled Those Were the Waves of the NEW WAVE. This movement, that pushed a total art concept, expanded our pop culture boundaries and left a deep mark on our society. In retrospect, New Wave can be regarded as a phenomenon. The release of the Paket aranžman album in the former Yugoslavia can be considered as the beginning of the New Wave movement, exactly forty years ago. The exibition will show the creation process of this significant release, with artefacts and a series of previously unpublished photographs which followed the main participants of New Wave in the ex-YU territories.

The exhibition will run until 6th June 2021

BPM 2020/1: Srbija – lepa i slepa – Aleksandar Slavković

9. maj od 14 časova
Grafički kolektiv
Dragoslava Jovanovića 11

Srbija – lepa i slepa je vizuelni dnevnik bez početka i kraja, o parčetu zemlje na Balkanu i ljudima koji tu žive. Ovaj dokumentarni projekat istražuje svakodnevicu, privilegije i posledice života u nedefinisanom sistemu vrednosti. Govori o jednoj državi u tranziciji, zaglavljenoj između turbulentne prošlosti i neizvesne budućnosti, nemoćnoj da napravi razliku između sna i stvarnosti. Na kraju, ovo je priča o društvu i pojedincu, i njihovoj borbi da se održe na površini nemirnog okeana.

Aleksandar Slavković je dvadesetsedmogodišnji foto-reporter i doku-mentarni fotograf iz Srbije.
Nakon diplomiranja na Visokoj hotelijerskoj školi i nekoliko poslova u struci, počeo je da se zanima za dokumentarnu fotografiju i vizuelno pripovedanje priča kao jedan od najboljih načina istraživanja sveta.
Nakon tri godine kao slobodni fotograf počeo je saradnju sa medijskom kompanijom Ringier Axel Springer u Beogradu.
Godine 2019. dobio je stipendiju od VII akademije u Sarajevu da pohađa interdisciplinarni seminar za narativnu i dokumentarnu praksu, zajedno sa četrnaest fotografa iz šire balkanske regije.
Njegov rad objavljivan je u poznatim srpskim časopisima NIN i Vreme, kao i u nekoliko internet magazina i publikacija.

BPM 2020/1: Serbia – Beautiful and Blind – Aleksandar Slavković

May 9, 2 pm

Dragoslava Jovanovića 11

Serbia – Beautiful and Blind is a visual diary without beginning or end, about a piece of land in the Balkans and the people who live there. This documentary project explores everyday life, privileges and consequences of living in an undefined system of values. It talks about a country in transition, stuck between a turbulent past and an uncertain future, unable to distinguish between a dream and reality. In the end, this is a story about society and an individual, and their struggle to survive on the surface of a restless ocean.

Aleksandar Slavković is a 27 year old photojournalist and documentary photographer based in Serbia.
After graduation from the College of Hotel Management and a few hospitality jobs, he started to gain interest in documentary photography and visual storytelling as the best way to explore the world.
After three years as a freelance photographer, he started working for the media company Ringier Axel Springer.
In 2019 he received a scholarship from VII Academy in Sarajevo to attend the 9 months-long interdisciplinary Seminar for Narrative and Documentary Practice, together with 14 photographers from the wider Balkans region.
His work has been published in several Serbian magazines, such as NIN and Vreme and a selection of online publications.

Kustos Ana Šćepanović

Grčko ostrvo.
Topli junski dan. Nas četvoro smo sami na plaži.
More mi je u kosi, sunce na knjizi, vetar među prstima, kamenolom pod tabanima.
Ovaj dan je trenutak u večnosti.
Nema fotografije. Bitno je da smo ovde i sada.
Život je lep!
Sutra se vraćamo u grad.
Ana

Prolaznici svuda. Svaki u svojoj izgrebanoj stvarnosti.
Ispod je ulica. Ispod ulice je voda. Iz asfalta izbija korenje.
Plaši me ponor.
Iznad je crno-crveno nebo.
Sivi ljudi žive u broju 36.
Ja sam dete grada.
Maja

Grebo Grej je vizuelni umetnik iz Velike Britanije koji živi i radi u Beogradu, u Srbiji. Diplomirao je slikarstvo na akademiji Portsmouth Polytechnic 1990. godine, na univerzitetu u Brajtonu je završio postdiplomske studije umetnosti i dizajna, a predavao je i likovno u školi nekoliko godina.
Preseljenje u Beograd omogućilo mu je da se usredsredi na svoje umetničko delo. Poslednjih godina fotografije su postale važan deo njegovog rada, mada se nerado naziva fotografom. Foto-aparat koristi kao alat za stvaranje skica, beležeći sitne detalje na predmetima iz svakodnevice koji nas okružuju, a koji su mahom ignorisani. Grebove fotografije privukle su pažnju mnogih, pogotovo muzičara, pa se neke od njih mogu videti na omotima različitih nosača zvuka.

Izložba će trajati do 19. maja 2021.

BPM 2020/1: Scratch Beneath the Surface – Grebo Gray

Curated by Ana Šćepanović

Greek island.
A warm June day. The four of us are alone on the beach.
I have the sea in my hair, the sun on my book, the wind between my toes, the quarry under my soles.
This day is a moment in eternity.
No photo. It is important that we are here and now.
Life is Beautiful!
We’re going back to the city tomorrow.
Ana

Passers-by everywhere. Each in its own scratched reality.
Below is the street. There is water under the street. Roots sprout from the asphalt.
The abyss scares me.
Above is a black-red sky.
Gray people live in number 36.
I am a child of the city.
Maya

Grebo Gray is a British visual artist now living and working in Belgrade, Serbia. Grebo graduated from Portsmouth Polytechnic in 1990 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art Painting and followed that by going back to university in Brighton to obtain a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (Art & Design) and teaching art in a school for a few years.
Relocating to Belgrade enabled Grebo to focus on his own artwork once more and in recent years photographic images have become an important part of his work, though he is reluctant to call himself a photographer. He uses the camera as a tool to create a visual sketchbook, capturing small details from the everyday objects that surround us but are largely ignored. These images have caught the eye of a number of musicians who have used some of the imagery on various music releases.

The exhibition will run until 19tn May, 2021

BPM 2020/1: Under the Light of the Sea – Espe Pons

9. maj u 12 časova
Konak kneginje Ljubice
Sime Markovića 8, Belgrade

Da biste razumeli delo Espe Pons, morate ga pozorno posmatrati. Neće nas lako zavesti predmeti ili lica, odeća ili osvetljenje. Prostori su prazni. Arhitektonski detalji su izgubljeni u vremenu. Na terenu se ne vidi nijedan znak koji bi nas podsetio na nešto konkretno. Znamo da je to delo nastalo u znak sećanja na mlađeg brata njenog dede, koji se tokom građanskog rata borio na republikanskoj strani i koji je nastradao u potonjem represivnom režimu. Kada posmatramo fotografije, moramo upotpuniti informacije, učestvovati u procesu. Navode nas da se prisećamo.

Ko zna da li pojačavanjem tišine koja živi na slici čovek može uhvatiti bolne krike pohranjene u sećanju na ta mesta. Ko zna može li emocija probuđena tim mestima, nakon istraživanja, naterati lokaciju da progovori, i možemo li mi u toj nemoj slici osetiti iskustvo naučnog istraživanja istorijskog pamćenja i istovremeno estetskog istraživanja.

Sime Markovića 8, Belgrade

To look at the work of Espe Pons you have to look actively. There is no easy seduction by objects or faces, clothes or lighting. The locations appear empty. Architectural details are lost to time. The land does not have familiar landmarks. You are told the work is in memory of her grandfather’s younger brother who fought for the Republicans during the Civil War and died as a result. As a viewer, you have to fill in information and participate in the process. You are asked to remember.

Cynthia Young

International Center of Photography, New York

Who knows if by intensifying the silence which lives in the image, one can manage to capture the screams of pain in the memory of those places. Who knows if the emotion of finding herself in these places, having carried out the research, can make the location speak, and if we can also perceive in the silent image the experience of scientific research on historical memory and at the same time aesthetic research.

BPM 2020/1: Sateran u ćošak – Miloš Nešić

8. maj u 19 časova
Bioskop Balkan
Braće Jugovića 16, Beograd

Sateran u ćošak je fotografski performans koji je izveden u periodu od 17/4/2020 od 17h do 21/4/2020 do 5h, u Beogradu, tokom policijskog časa u trajanju od 84 sata. Umetnik je svakog sata, na pun sat, snimao po jedan autoportret, postavljajući sebe na pozadinu koja je u obliku ćoška. Nakon snimanja, napuštao je studio i vraćao se za jedan sat.
Predmet performansa je vreme, prostor i uklanjanje mogućnosti izbora. Ćošak predstavlja nemogućnost kretanja, paralizovanje uma, dakle, smanjivanje mentalnog prostora. Umetnik eksplicitno prekida sve što radi u trenutku punog sata, snima autoportret, time izvršava naređenja i postavljajući sebe u ćošak, pod kaznom, postaje poslušan.
Koristeći protok vremena u veoma limitiranoj sredini, kroz repeticiju, monotoniju, Miloš transformiše društvenu poslušnost i patnju u alat za stvaranje političkog elementa, kako bi se pokrenula više filozofska pitanja, između ostalih, da li je korišćenje sile i poniženja u cilju kontrole opravdano? Da li izolacija i usamljenost predstavljaju univerzalne okolnosti ljudskih bića? Sa ovim fundamentalnim egzistencijalnim istraživanjima Miloš prolazi kroz eksperiment koji postaje univerzalan, i koji svakog pojedinca stavlja u istu poziciju.

Finalni rezultat su 85 fotografija i video dužine 1:37:08, formata 4:3.

BPM 2020/1: Cornered – Miloš Nešić

May 8, 7 pm
Bioskop Balkan
Braće Jugovića 16, Belgrade

Cornered is a photography performance, executed in Belgrade during the longest 84 hour curfew that lasted from 17/4/2020, 5 pm to 21/4/2020, 5 am. The artist has positioned himself in a painted corner, shooting a single self-portrait every hour on the hour, during the entire period of the 84 hour lockdown. The artist was leaving the studio after every shot and kept returning on an hourly basis.
Subject of this act are time, space and abolition of free will and personal choice. The corner represents the inability to freely move while the mind is being paralyzed, thus reducing one’s mental space. The artist is explicitly leaving everything else every hour to take the self-portrait, by this he is executing the order and by cramming himself into a corner as if being punished, thus becoming obedient.
Using time in extremely limited conditions, through monotonous repetition, Miloš is transforming social obedience and suffering into a tool to create a political element in order to raise more philosophical questions. Are force and humiliation justified for the purposes of control? Are isolation and solitary universal circumstances of human beings, among others? With this fundamental exsistencial investigation, Miloš goes through an experiment that becomes universal, consequently placing each individual in the same position.

The final result is 85 photographs and a video of length 1:37:08 and ratio 4:3.
