VLADIMIR MILADINOVIĆ (*1981 Belgrade) Miladinović’s main interests lie with the politics of remembering, media manipulation and the creation and reinterpretation of the history. His work engages with war and post-war trauma. It deals with media, forensics, political and ethical identification and presentation of war crimes, but also with current transitional ideologies of denial and erasure. It questions how media and institutions in the post-war societies create public space, consequently shaping collective memory. He is using art as a forum to create a counter-public sphere that raises question about war, media propaganda, manipulation of narrative, historical responsibility and intellectual engagement. He was the laureate of the 53rd October Salon Award in Belgrade and has exhibited widely across Europe, at the SMBA – Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Artium – Basque Museum Centre of Contemporary Art (Vitoria, Spain), Münchner Stadtmuseum (Munich, Germany), Salzburger Künstverein (Salzburg, Austria), FreiraumQ21 – Museumsquartier (Vienna, Austria), CACT-Thessaloniki Center Of Contemporary Art (Thessaloniki, Greece) etc.
