FLU Beograd / Voyage, voyage
Group exhibition
FROM THE PREFACE OF THE EXHIBITION
The exhibition entitled "Voyage Voyage" by Milica Popović, Aleksandar Rakezić and Una Knežević was created as part of the international and interinstitutional cooperation of two related institutions – the Academy of Fine Arts in Zagreb and the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade.
It is designed as a representation of three different poetics , i.e. their functioning according to the principle of complementarity. The poetics and artistry of one work continues on to the next and thus allows the observer to perceive three different components of one whole. The works of young artists are not necessarily connected by a common concept, but it is important to point out that during this exhibition they encounter an active romantic question, the question of travel. Travel, physical or spiritual, was the theme of great names of Romanticism such as Caspar Friedrich David and William Turner, but this term still intrigues today. Today, seen through the prism of art and art institutions, the question of travel is perhaps appropriate to be seen as a question of transport; the transport of a work of art, the author, a large exhibition, the idea itself. How should we proceed in order for a work of art, and even a concept, to be appropriately presented in "guests"?
