NEW BEGINNINGS
Latest Acquisitions from the Collection of MoCA Belgrade
28 November 2014 – 17 May 2015
Curators: Sandra Demetrescu, Misela Blanusa
Situated at the crossing between the contemporary history of the post-yugoslavian space and the evolution of the Belgrade Museum of Contemporary Art and its collection, the selection presented in the framework of this exhibition aims at capturing an image – an inevitably fragmentary one – of the very recent past of the Serbian artistic scene. The option of narrowing down the selection, almost exclusively, to new media works originates in an interrogation regarding the meaning of the image (especially the digital, virtual one), which fluctuates between visibility and projection, between being an object of memory and a trigger for the act of remembering.
The materiality of the results of artistic practices is confronted with a an apparently paradoxical void in representation, at the point in which the artistic object either vanishes in the passing of time, or stands as a witness for its own inability of preserving a material trace, or, when disclosing some underrepresented realities, it attests a certain dialectic of the image (such as it is configured between being a document and being absent, between regain and loss).
