On cities, light and identity: Tonka Malekovic from Croatia, Dalibor Nikolic from Bosnia-Herzegovina and Velimir Zernovski from Macedonia
10.03.10 – 31.03.10
The combined view of individuals
This year’s first group exhibition at the Gallery Artpoint, showing works by the Croatian Tonka Malekovic, the Bosnian Dalibor Nikolic and the Macedonian Velimir Zernivoski, is divided into three separate areas, which in turn come together again in one venue, the city of Vienna.
Tonka Malekovic explores Vienna in her series “Analogue (City)”. “Underworld” videos showing underground stations, escalators and passageways are juxtaposed with winter images of the city. The sterile, often deserted and somewhat eerie atmosphere of the underground is set in contrast with the winter world up above, depicted on photographs shot with only one spotlight.
Dalibor Nikolic utilizes the sunlight as a light source for his projections on architectural details in the city. The number 08’32 describes the time sunlight needs to reach the earth: 8 minutes and 32 seconds. His selection of the projection surfaces mirrors his reference to architecture, especially to LeCorbusier.
The third room shows Velimir Zernivoski’s video “In the Third Picture” which was created in Vienna. The change he underwent during his stay is the projection surface for the steady self-reflection by the viewers, and is meant to stimulate rethinking one’s own role within the social development.
