*ENGLISH BELOW*
U okviru programa Exposium, završnog događanja projekta Testing Ground: Reparative Practices for New Cultural Ecosystem, od 7. do 9. studenog održava se ciklus Rizomatske geste, niz prezentacija umjetničkih procesa članica Rhizome tima, jednog od timova za kreativno istraživanje oformljenih u okviru projekta.
Iz teksta kustosice Lee Vene: “Rhizome tim ulazi u arhiv projekta Testing Ground u potrazi za okidačima koje upisuje u nove umjetničke projekte autorica Maje Bojanić, Hrvoslave Brkušić, Nadije Markiewicz i Fette Sans. U formatu audio šetnje, performansa, otvorene probe i radne sobe umjetnice otvaraju vlastiti umjetnički proces rada kao dijalog između spomenute arhive i osobnih projekata započetih izvan ovog konteksta.
Maja Bojanić nas poziva na audio ekspediciju kroz divlju ekologiju prostora Pogona kojeg nagriza plijesan i vlaga. Nadia Markiewicz istražuje anomalije u porodici ruža kako bi kroz performans oživjela vlastitu baladu o mutantskoj ruži. Hrvoslava Brkušić uranja u jugofuturističko istraživanje arhiva o Vedi Zagorac (jedna od utemeljiteljica Muzeja afričke umetnosti u Beogradu) i njenog života u Africi. Zajedno s Fette Sans pratimo protagonisticu njenog novog filma kroz otvorenu probu koja rastvara odnos redateljice i glavne glumice.
Četiri site specific umjetničke pozicije u nastajanju otvoreno progovaraju o individualnim umjetničkim metodologijama rada i mogućim reparativnim modelima umjetničkog djelovanja.”

ENGLISH:
In the framework of Exposium, the final event of the project Testing Ground: Reparative Practices for New Cultural Ecosystem, the Rhizomatic Gestures cycle will take place from November 7 to 9. This series will consist of presentations showcasing the artistic processes of the members of the Rhizome team, one of the creative research teams formed within the project.
From curator Lea Vene‘s text: “The Rhizome team enters the archive of the project Testing Ground: Reparative Practices for New Cultural Ecosystem in search of triggers that it writes into new artistic projects of authors Maja Bojanić, Hrvoslava Brkušić, Nadia Markiewicz and Fette Sans. In the format of an audio walk, performance, open rehearsal and work room, the artists open up their artistic work processes as a form of dialogue between the above-mentioned archive and personal projects initiated outside of this context.
Maja Bojanić invites us on an audio expedition through the wild ecology of Pogon’s space, corroded by mould and dampness. Nadia Markiewicz investigates anomalies in the rose family in order to revive her own ballad about a mutant rose through her performance. Hrvoslava Brkušić dives into the Yugofuturist research of the archive about Veda Zagorac (one of the founders of the Museum of African Art in Belgrade) and her life in Africa. With Fette Sans, we follow the protagonist of her new film through an open rehearsal examining the relationship between the director and the leading actress. Four emergent site-specific artistic positions openly speak about individual artistic methodologies and possible reparative models of artistic action.”
Maja Bojanić is a visual artist exploring deep-rooted beliefs about history and its preservation. In her work, spaces occupy the roles of sentient entities that uncover hidden heritages, opening portals to imagined futures. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana and is currently pursuing a master’s degree at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. In 2024, she was nominated for the OHO Young Visual Artist Award. She is the recipient of the Ad Futura scholarship fund.
