SHAPE SHIFTERS – MARKO OBRADOVIĆ and JELENA VISKOVIĆ
- Back to news
Shape shifters is a new duo show by Marko Obradović and Jelena Visković, born from a dialogue that explores the shared yet distinct themes of interest between the two artists.
The exhibition presents new and existing pieces in an attempt to accompany parts of each other and create a solid set of connections between belief systems, social structures and technology in the current climate. Curated by Vanja Žunić, the show opens in Eugster || Belgrade on September 6th and will last until October 5th.
Join us for the opening from 6pm!
Marko Obradović (1998) is a visual artist from Belgrade, Serbia. His practice includes painting, printmaking, installation and video. Obradović’s exploration centres on ephemeral qualities of identity and spirituality. His pieces function as scene studies that immerse his subjects in liminal scenarios, creating speculative narratives. Themes of abjection, trans-humanism and esotericism are at the centre of his practice. Marko graduated from the painting department at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade. He has had various solo and group shows in the prior years, both local and international, some of which were at Eugster || Belgrade (Belgrade, 2022), De Bouwput gallery (Amsterdam, 2022), Kula Gallery, in collaboration with Voždovačka galerija (Belgrade, 2022), a solo show at CEJLA (Brno, 2023), a group presentation at Vienna Contemporary (2023), with the next showcase being part of a group show in Berlinskej Model space, in Prague, in November 2024. His works have been acquired by LUKOWA Art Foundation.
Jelena Visković (1989) is a Zagreb born, Belgrade raised visual artist based in London. Her work focuses on games, leisure spaces and the narratives they produce through time and place. In her research and work she responds to new and old technologies, social organisational platforms, and public spaces. Looking at gestures as a critical element of knowledge creation, her animated sculptures incorporate playful, speaking objects and characters that make their way into technologically deterministic, seemingly inanimate systems. Borrowing from a cartoonish, carnivalesque logic, these objects become rebellious but approachable. Her work was shown at HDLU (Zagreb, 2024), U10 (Belgrade, 2023), VO Curations (London, 2023), MGLC (Ljubljana, 2022), HKW (Berlin, 2021) and AQB (Budapest, 2021).
