Biography

I was born at 1978 in Cuprija. I graduated from the Faculty of Arts in Pristina in 2001 (printmaking department) and further, in 2007 received Post-Graduate’s Degree at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade (printmaking department). At the moment I am second year of PhD interdisciplinary studies at the University of Arts in Belgrade. Since 2005 I have been working as assistant at the Faculty of Education in Jagodina.
So far I have exhibited works at numerous international exhibitions, both at home and abroad (Canada, USA, Mexico, Uruguay, Portugal, India, Romania, Spain, Belgium, France, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Italy, Belgium, Uruguay, China).

Workshop Demonstration

DISLOCATION
By moving the focus from “What is represented?” to “How is presented?” I am exploring with printmaking between possibility and potentiality throughout various forms of presentation related to space and observer in visual and tactile sense. 

Title of the work is of layered meaning. Other than representing movement of the elements and bodies along, it also stands for moving the boundaries of printmaking conception. Work is conceived as opened and variable structure, completely accessible to the interventions of the audience, essentially not changing but completing it by the very act of involving and interfering (audience is literally integrated into the heart of the work, not just in theoretical context).
Therefore, I am taking printmaking art out from exhibiting routine and making it directly accessible. Essential characteristic of the work is interactive property, a possibility of transformation. Dynamics of the work is on thin line with action or even performance, therefore reaching out from strict boundaries of printmaking media.
Technical characteristics: This work has been created using offset printing machines but without raster plate, or to say, in “stain” manner. Each print is 14 x 50 cm and one hundred of them makes whole edition, which is entirely used to form final work. Disburdened of the pictorial and descriptive elements all the way to the (black) surface, print is completely articulated into the unit, “genetically” modified and independent from the conventional print.
Mounted on fixed metal rails units can be moved and shifted or can be added or removed using magnetic stripes on the back. The units are actually mobile parts; their movement makes a free play of form and shape, implying the transformation and briefly changing state and appearance of work. Partially work has the possibility of identical repetition, which is distinctive characteristic of the very printmaking media, although not necessarily of the work itself.
