IZGUBLJENO U PRESELJENJULOST ON THE MOVE

Povodom izložbe Izgubljeno u preseljenju Mirjane Bobe Stojadinović

Mirjana Boba Stojadinović poslednjih petnaestak godina svoju umetničku praksu razvija na preseku višemedijskih istraživanja tema koje bi se najšire mogle vezati za pitanja različitih aspe-kata iskustvenosti prostora, bilo u sferi intimnih neposrednih okruženja ili javnog i kolektivnog odvijanja i manifestovanja naših egzistencija. Pristupajući fenomenu prostora kao mediju per se umetnica realizuje čitav niz radova u kojima se problemski fokusira na višedimenzionalni karakter prostornih formi koje svakodnevno doživljavamo, ne samo kroz vizuelnu percepciju fizičkog, datog i opipljivog, već kroz čitavu mrežu odnosa, veza, interakcija.

Tekstualni i audio zapisi, fotografija, site specific intervencije, objekti, performativne akcije samo su neki od umetničkih izraza i delovanja u okviru kojih autorka promišlja i otkriva prostor, specifikum njegovih struktu-ra i dinamika konstituisanih u relacijama sa društvenim kontekstima i pojavnostima. U preispitivanju naših raznolikih susreta i uodno-šavanja sa prostorom Boba otvara i jedno vrlo kompleksno polje njegovih sagledavanja i razumevanja u simboličkim sadržajima, psiho-loškim i emotivnim rezonancama koji ga bitno vrednosno i značenjski određuju, formiraju i odražavaju.

Aktuelna izložba u Ateljeu Dado predstavlja svojevrsni rezime Bobinih dosadašnjih bavljenja tematikom prostora, njenih koncepcijskih, medijskih i prezentacijskih artiku-lacija, kao i pravaca autorkinih recentnih istraživanja u domenu razvijanja različitih pristu-pa u radu i aktivnom uključivanju/participaciji publike u umetničkim aktivnostima. Izložba Izgubljeno u preseljenju najpre obuhvata seriju fotografija Spoljni prostor iznutra, nastalu u periodu 2008–2012. godine u različitim evropskim gradovima u kojima je umetnica radila i boravila. Svakodnevicu Amsterdama, Beča, Roterdama, Zagreba, Pariza, Beograda Boba uprizoruje dokumentujući ostavljene ili izgubljene obične, privatne stvari i predmete na ulici, uvodeći posmatrača u dimenziju njihove nove i začudne sadržajnosti. Predstavljajući svoje- vrsni dnevnik vizulenih utisaka dnevnih ruta i opserviranja grada, izložene fotografije donose kadrove suštinskih događanja urbanog života u nepredvidivostima spojeva i prožimanja beskra-ja narativa intimnih i javnih prostora. Audio-prostorni rad Vodič kroz gradove i izložbe prilagođen namenski za ovu priliku kontekstima Ateljea Dado, umetnica je prvi put realizovala na 25. Memorijalu Nadežde Petrović. Naime, u pitanju je site specific intervencija u kojoj autorka koristi datosti prostornih situacija kao polazne reference u dekonstrukciji specifičnosti određenog mesta kroz priče o (ne)vidljivim tragovima i tokovima njegovih postojanja. Iskustvenosti izlagačkog ambijenta za posetioca se ovde generišu u mreži informacija, opisa, fakata i fikcije u razotkrivanju različitih sadržajnih i vrednosnih inskripcija ljudi i vremena u memorijske slojeve samog prostora. Okosnicu rada Sun_ce čini preko 350 fotografskih zapisa svitanja nad Roterdamom snimanih to-kom dve godine sa iste tačke/pozicije u stanu u kojem je umetnica u živela tokom svog privreme- nog boravka u ovom holandskom gradu. Ritmično smenjivanje i kolažiranje serije fotografija urbanog horizonta i izlazećeg sunca ne svedoče samo o nestalnosti jednog prizora već reflektuju autorkinu ličnu i emotivnu percepciju novih životnih prostora, dalje elaboriranu u Tekstualnom radu. U tri kratka prateća teksta detaljnih deskripcija vizura neposrednog okruženja iz roterdamskog stana, njegove pozicioniranosti i relacija sa okolinom umetnica ovaj put otvara pitanja o kompleksnim identitet-skim odnosima i vezama koje pojedinac gradi sa drugom/nematičnom sredinom.

Audio zapis Gradske metamorfoze deo je istoimenog izložbenog projekta i Bobinih istraživanja na teme uticaja naglih i nasilnih promena u tkivu grada, sveprisutnije privatizacije javnih prostora kao i potrebe za zajedničkom građanskom akcijom u cilju njihovih očuvanja. Iniciran konkretnim slučajem seče četiri stotine platana u Bulevaru Kralja Aleksandra u Beogradu, rad se u sećanjima troje ljudi na dati lokalitet, ali i širi gradski ambijent i njegove metamorfoze kroz vreme dotiče važnih psiholoških spona i interakcija koje u svakodnevnom životu čovek ostvaruje sa nasleđima, kontekstima i obeležjima svog habitata. I za kraj, mobilni objekat OD DO u hipnotičkom rotiranju reči kojima definišemo najpre prostorne relacije i vremenska trajanja na izvestan način zaokružuje celu postavku sažimajući neke bitne aspekte funkcionisanja, manifestovanja i produkcije prostora tj. njegovih razmatranja u temporalno-spacijalnim procesima, društvenim dinamikama, diverzite-tu formi kretanja i današnjim sve složenijim opažajnim iskustvenostima sveta oko nas.

Sagledana u celini, izložba donosi snažno autorsko i umetničko promišljanje fenomena (do)življenih prostora koji za Bobu ostaju intriga upravo zbog potencijalnosti njihove konstan-tno redefinišuće prirode, višeznačnosti i refleksije svih onih događanja i stanja u kojima se konstruišu, transformišu, percipiraju, misle i izražavaju.

Terasa je velika i puna svetlosti. Dok stojim na njoj gledam direktno na zapad, na tu stranu zalazi sunce i tu se nalazi industrijska zona, koja se prostire svugde sa druge strane reke Mas. ... Kada je mrak, nikada nije u potpunosti mrak.

Sa kuhinjskog prozora mogu da vidim sve do Haga. Oluje često dolaze iz tog pravca.

Soba koju koristim je okrenuta ka istoku, sunce izlazi sa ove strane. Zimi ne možeš da vidiš izlazak sunca, ali od sredine februara do nekog doba u novembru sunce iskače iza roterdamskih oblakodera, osim ako nije kišni ili maglovit dan, što se često dešava. ...Zanimljivo je posmatrati ovaj svet sa visine jedanaestog sprata.

(odlomak teksta)

The terrace is big and full of light. Standing on it I face directly west, the sun sets in that direction and the industrial zone is there too, which spreads everywhere across the other side of the river Mass. ... When it is dark, it is never really dark.

From the kitchen window I can see as far as The Hague. Storms often come from that direction.

The room I am using is turned towards the east, the sun rises on this side. You can’t see the sun rise in the winter, but from mid-February until some time in November the sun pops up from behind the skyscrapers of Rotterdam, if it is not a rainy or foggy day, which it often is. ...It is curious to look at this world from the height of the eleventh floor.

GRADSKE METAMORFOZE URBAN METAMORPHOSISAudio-rad | Audio-work, 45 min, 2012.

On the occasion of Mirjana Boba Stojadinović’s exhibition Lost on the move

Over the past fifteen years Mirjana Boba Stojadinović has developed her artistic practice at the crossroads of polymedia research into the themes which in the broadest terms could be linked to the various issues of the experientiality of space, whether in the sphere of intimate im-mediate environment or public and collective development and manifestation of our existence. Approaching the phenomenon of space as a medium per se, the artist has created a whole range of works in which she focuses on the multidimensional character of spatial forms not only through the visual perception of the physical, given and tangible, but also through a whole

network of relationships, connections and in-teractions which we establish on a daily basis. Text and audio recordings, photographs, site specific interventions, objects and perfor-mative actions are only some of the artistic expressions and means within which she ponders and reveals space, the specifics of its structures and dynamics constructed in rela-tion with social contexts and appearances. While re-examining our diverse encounters and establishing relations with space, Boba opens a highly complex field of viewing and understanding space in its symbolic content and psychological and emotional resonance

which significantly define, form and reflect it in terms of its value and meaning.The current exhibition in the Dado Atelier represents a specific summary of the artist’s pre-

vious treatment of the theme of space, its conceptual, media and presentation articulations, as well as the directions of her recent research in the development of diverse approaches to work and active involvement/participation of the viewers in artistic activities. The exhibition Lost on the move primarily encompasses a series of photos Inside Space Out, made in the period 2008–2012 in various European cities in which the artist worked and stayed. In them, she captured the daily life of Amsterdam, Vienna, Rotterdam, Zagreb, Paris, Belgrade by recording ordinary private items and objects abandoned or lost in the street, introducing the viewer into the dimension of their new and amazing substantiality. Being like a diary of visual impressions of daily routes and city observation, the photos on display capture the essential developments of urban life in the unpredictable blends and mutual permeation of the infinite narratives of intimate and public spaces.

The audio-spatial work A Guide through Exhibitions and Cities, adjusted on this occasion to the contexts of the Dado Atelier, was first realized on the 25th Nadežda Petrović Memorial. This is a site specific intervention in which the author uses the given spatial situations as the starting references in deconstructing the specifics of a certain place through the stories of (in)visible traces and flows of its existences. The experientiality of the exhibition ambience for the viewer is generated here in the network of information, descriptions, facts and fiction in the disclosure of diverse content and value inscriptions of people and time in the memory layers of the space itself. The work Sun_ce comprises over 350 photographic recordings of dawn over Rotterdam made during a two-year period from the same place in the flat in which the artist lived in the course of her temporary stay in this Dutch city. The rhythmical alternation and collaging of the series of photos of the urban horizon and the rising sun do not only testify to the volatility of a sight but they are also a reflection of the artist’s personal and emotional perception of new life spaces, further elaborated in her Text Piece.

In the three short accompanying texts providing detailed descriptions of the visions of the immediate environment of the flat in Rotterdam, its position and its relations with the surround-ings, the artist opens the issue of the complex identity relations and links which an individual builds with a new/non-native environment. The audio recording Urban Metamorphoses is part of the same-titled project and Boba Stojadinović’s explorations of the themes of the impact of sudden and violent changes in the fabric of the city, increasingly frequent privatization of public spaces as well as the need for joint civil action towards their preservation. Inspired by a specific case of felling four hundred plane trees in King Aleksandar Boulevard in Belgrade, through three people’s memories of the given locality and of the wider urban environment and its metamor-phoses through time, the work touches upon the significant psychological ties and interactions people establish in their daily lives with the heritage, contexts and specific traits of their habitat.

Finally, the mobile sculpture OD DO (FROM TO) which hypnotically rotates the prepositions with which we primarily define spatial relations and durations, in a way rounds off the entire exhibition summarizing some important aspects of functioning, manifestation and production of space, i.e. its consideration in the temporal and spatial processes, social dynamics, diversity of forms of motion and today’s increasingly complex perceptual experientiality of the world around us. Viewed in its entirety, the exhibition shows a strong auctorial and artistic pondering of the phenomena of experienced spaces which continue to intrigue the artist right because of the potential of their continually redefining nature, polysemy and reflections of all the happenings and states in which they are construed, transformed, perceived, contemplated and expressed.
