Saša Tkačenko

Eugster || Belgrade presented a new series of artworks by Saša Tkačenko and Nina Zeljković in the New Entries section of Artissima art fair in Turin, that was on view from 3rd to 6th of November.

The Eugster || Belgrade presentation at Artissima explores two conflicting positions: the human condition, with reference to Hanna Arendt, and the exploration into what comes after the human (conditio ahumana). This subject relates strongly to the global situation in the past 2 to 3 years, during which we have all needed to revisit what it means to live in a world which is evidently no longer in our hands (due to the unexpected and unstoppable effects of the global pandemic and its consequences, the global warming, etc.). On the other hand, the topic is aesthetically informed by the peripheral perspective that the gallery holds in relation to the European continent, the art market and the market in general, both with its programme and its geo-political location.

The two artists, Saša Tkačenko and Nina Zeljković, offer their own insight into the matter.
