The exhibition presents around 10 installations and objects by Mladen Miljanovic, the winner of the Henkel Art.Award 2009. In his work the young Bosnian artist, born in 1981 in Zenica, explicitly refers to political events and his own biography. Miljanovic belongs to the generation which experienced the Balkan War as children and young people and had to re-orient themselves afterwards in a destroyed, impoverished, ethnically and territorially divided and isolated country. He transposes strategies of conquest and occupation into the art business, examines and reflects on history and the meaning of spaces, places and cities using different media in the process.
