Intimna porodična serija fotografija sa bakom, osobom koju na ovaj način želim zauvek da sačuvam od zaborava. Baka je jedina osoba u porodici sa kojom se u potpunosti poistovećujem – po načinu života, stilu oblačenja, interesovanjima…Ova serija fotografija je otvorena i na ovom projektu radim svakodnevno beležeći čak i predmete koje baka koristi, jer će jednoga dana svaki od njih predstavljati relikviju. Serija o ljubavi i nežnosti.
Tonight, 21st April 2018 at 19h, opening of photography exhibition “To save you” by Mila Pejić, Meduza, Gospodar Jevremova 6
A series of intimate family photographs featuring my grandmother – a person I would like to forever encapsulate in my memories. Grandmother represents the only person in my family who I can entirely relate to – the way we dress, the way we live our lives… the things we love to enjoy. This series of photographs is open and I continue to create more of them on a daily basis, knowing some day each of them will represent a relic. A series about love and tenderness.
Today, 20th April 2018 at 13h, opening of photography exhibition “Portraits from the Novi Sad Photographic Studios”, curated by Ivana Jovanović Gudurić, Mala galerija Doma Vojske Srbije, Braće Jugovića 19
The exhibition is sampled of portrait photographies created in the early Novi Sad photographic studios, during the 19th century, which have been preserved in the depository of the City Museum of Novi Sad. The masters of photography from this period took numerous portraits of generations of men and women that resided in Novi Sad who used this opportunity to firmly uphold their own newly established position as members of civil class. These original photographies, displayed at the exhibition, offer an insight not only into technical and aesthetic development of portrait photography in the 19th century, but also into material and social culture of the time. The selected photographies are followed by the descriptions about the exciting lives and business ventures of the photographers, as well as the ads from the press which served as the means of promotion.
Danas, 20. aprila 2018. godine u 13h, otvaranje izložbe fotografija “Portreti iz novosadskih fotografskih ateljea”, kustos Ivana Jovanović Gudurić, Mala galerija Doma Vojske Srbije, Braće Jugovića 19
Izložbu čini izbor portretnih fotografija koje su nastale u prvim novosadskim fotografskim ateljeima tokom 19 veka, a koje se čuvaju u fondu Muzeja grada Novog Sada. Fotografski majstori su u ovom periodu načinili brojne portrete različitih generacija novosađanki i novosađana, koji su kroz ovu vrstu fotografija potvrđivli svoj novostečeni status pripadnika građanske klase. Kroz originalne fotografije predstavljene na izložbi moguće je pratiti tehnički i estetski razvoj portretne fotografije u 19. veku, ali i mnoge elemente materijalne i socijalne kulture toga vremena. Izabrane fotografije praćene su tekstovima o uzbudljivim životima i poslovnim karijerama samih fotografa, kao i oglasima iz tadašnje štampe kroz koje su reklamirali svoje usluge.

Traveling is not only a state of geographic mobility, it can also be an internal state, reflexive, an interior glance that has its own time and its own images that spring from the imaginary.
Photography can represent the world but not the imaginary. It’s here where artists situate themselves and gamble for photography as a means to get to that imaginary inexistent of the real – making it palpable, sensible and intimate with proposals.
Whether it is for a re-creation of broken sentiments where destiny is decisive to continue, or finalize, or a longing for the faded memories of a city that one felt and suffered, nostalgia for the memories that I would like to move in the distance and recover from that distance, or delve deeply into profound sentiments of the everyday and decide to travel inward in order to see myself and recognize between memory and the existence of time.
These are forms of moving with the knowledge that traveling is not only physical, but also interior and reflexive in order to arrive to the awareness of being sensible.

Večeras, 20. aprila 2018. godine u 19h, otvaranje izložbe fotografija “Imaginarno putovanje – Prostori za naseljavanje”, Eva Barton, Jorge Fabián Castillo i Jordi Vic, Dom kulture Studentski grad, Bulevar Zorana Djindjica 179

Putovanje nije samo stanje geografske pokretljivosti, već može da bude i unutrašnje stanje, refleksivno, unutrašnji pogled koji ima sopstveno vreme i sopstvene slike koje niču iz imaginarnog.
Fotografija može da prestavlja svet, ali ne i imaginarno. Upravo ovde se umetnici smeštaju i kockaju za fotografiju kao sredstvo putem kog mogu da dođu do tog imaginarnog nepostojećeg dela stvarnosti – čineći ga opipljivim, osetljivim i intimnim sa njihovim predlozima.
Bez obzira da li se radi o ponovnom stvaranju razlomljenih osećanja gde je sudbina odlučujuća za dalji nastavak ili okončanje, ili o čežnji za izbledelim sećanjima na grad koji se oseća ili trpi, nostalgiji za sećanjima koja bismo želeli da pomerimo u daljinu i da ih ponovo uzmemo sa te distance, ili da prodremo snažno u duboka osećanja svakodnevice i odlučimo da putujemo unutar sebe kako bismo se videli i prepoznali između sećanja i postojanja vremena.
To su načini kretanja sa znanjem da putovanje nije samo fizičko, već i unutrašnje i refleksivno, kako bi se došlo do svesnosti da je razumno.

Tonight, 19th April 2018 at 20h, opening of photography exhibition “At 3 AM” by Ivan Blazhev, TransformArt Gallery, Svetog Save 8
Ivan Blazhev was born in 1974 in Skopje, Macedonia. He has graduated from Brooklyn College (NYC, USA) with BA in Filmmaking and holds an MFA degree in Photography from the Academy of Arts of Novi Sad (Serbia). Works as a photographer, filmmaker and educator. He has exhibited his work at national and international museum and gallery venues. In 2008 his project Macedonia Dreaming was part of Beyond Walls – Eastern Europe after 1989 program at the Noorderlicht Photo Festival in the Netherlands. In 2011 he was featured in the exhibition Fragments: Macedonian art scene 1991 – 2011 at the Museum of Contemporary Art – Skopje. Blazhev has published five photographic books.
At 3 am
“…and in a real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning, day after day. At that hour the tendency is to refuse to face things as long as possible by retiring into an infantile dream – but one is continually startled out of this by various contacts with the world.” – writes F. Scott Fitzgerald in his book “The Crack-up”. Borrowing its title and theme from this reference, the project “At 3 a.m.” refers to this particular time of the day not as an indication of the time when the photographs of Skopje may have been taken. This temporal reference is more so, a parameter of the spiritual state and time we live in.
Under the auspices of “SK-2014” a curious proliferation of statues, monuments and neo-classical and baroque architecture have been popping up across the Macedonian capital during the last few years. As a result of this still ongoing project, Macedonia’s capital Skopje has been built, torn apart, rebuilt, covered and masked, undergoing a facelift beyond recognition. But the facelift goes much deeper under the surface. SK-2014 is a revisionist project which has been rewriting the history of the city and it has been redefining the identity. Much debated and with strong international and local opposition, the project has been under the scrutiny of the public, but nevertheless the government continued with the project, deeply carving through the Skopje urban landscape.
“At 3 a.m.” is a personal photographic narrative of confrontation, transformation and intimate battle, documenting the trauma from the abrupt changes to the face of the city. Photographing the changing urban landscape, as well as the human landscape within it, is an effort to make sense of the new reality, of coming to terms with the city. It is a way of exploring Skopje, finding a way through the new landscape and trying to understand its new face, its new skin and what is under it. It is not a project about documenting the change, but rather it is a project about the psychological impact of the change and a search for a sense of identity and community within the new landscape. The project represents photographer’s personal gaze into memories, changes and socio-political impact on the individual and the community.
Večeras, 19. aprila 2018. godine u 20h, otvaranje izložbe fotografija “U 3 ujutru” Ivana Blazheva, galerija TransformArt, Svetog Save 8

At 3 am
“… u stvarno mračnoj noći duše uvek je tri sata ujutru, dan za danom. U to doba, tendencija je odbijanje suočavanja sa stvarima što je više moguće, povlačenjem u infantilan san – ali čovek je konstantno trgnut iz tog sna zbog raznih kontakta sa svetom”- piše F. Scott Fitzgerald u svojoj knjizi “The Crack -up”. Pozajmljujući naslov i temu iz ovog citata, projekat “U tri ujutru” se odnosi na ovo određeno vreme dana, ali ne kao indikaciju vremena kada su fotografije snimljene, več kao parametar duhovnog stanja i vremena u kojem živimo.
Pod nazivom “SK-2014” u proteklih nekoliko godina veliki broj statua, spomenika, zgrada i fasade neoklasicističke i barokne arhitekture nikli su kroz grad. Kao rezultat ovog tekućeg projekta, Skoplje je izgrađeno, srušeno, obnovljeno, pokriveno i prikriveno, dobijajući neprepoznatljiv lik. Međutim, ovo “uljepšavanje” ide mnogo dublje ispod površine.
“SK-2014” je revizionistički projekat koji revidira istoriju grada i redefiniše identitet. Iako puno debatiran i sa snažnom međunarodnom i lokalnom opozicijom, projekat se nastavio, duboko urezujući kroz Skopski gradski pejzaž.
“U 3 ujutru” je lična fotografska naracija konfrontacije, transformacije i intimne borbe, dokumentiranje traume od naglih promena lica grada. Fotografisanje ove promene urbanog pejzaža, kao i ljudskog I kulturnog pejzaža unutar urbanog, predstavlja način traženja smisla i suočavanje sa novom realnosću grada. To je način istraživanja Skoplja, pronalaženje puta kroz novi pejzaž i pokušaj da se razume njegovo novo lice, nove kože i ono što je ispod nje. To nije projekat o dokumentiranju samih faktičkih promena, već je serijal fotografija nastalih pod psihološkom i duhovnom uticaju promjena i potragu za osećanjem identiteta i zajednice u novom pejzažu. “U 3 ujutru” predstavlja lični pogled fotografa u sećanja, promene i socio-politički uticaj na pojedinca i zajednicu.
