The Awakening of a Nation #2

Ana Evtić

V intermedijski galeriji Xcenter vas vabimo na otvoritev nove razstave Ane Evtić, magistrske študentke zaključnega letnika programa Sodobne umetniške prakse na Akademiji umetnosti Univerze v Novi Gorici, v sredo, 17. septembra, ob 19.00.

Delo izhaja iz tragedije v Novem Sadu, ko se je 5. novembra 2024 zrušil nadstrešek železniške postaje. Iz žalosti je vzniknila jeza, iz jeze odpor – in družba se je razklala.

Dve skulpturalni formi stojita druga proti drugi kot fragmenta Srbije. Njuna notranja roba spominjata na zobe, ki so dovolj blizu, da bi se lahko srečali, vendar ostajajo obrnjeni drug proti drugemu. Med njima se širi projekcija znakov različnih abeced in ustvarja novo, neberljivo govorico protesta, odpora, solidarnosti, strahu in zahteve po spremembi.

Delo govori o Srbiji, a tudi o svetu, v katerem postajajo razdeljenost, nasilje in soočanje vse bolj del našega vsakdana.

Vabljeni!

 

The Awakening of a Nation #2

Ana Evtić

At the Xcenter Intermedia Gallery, we invite you to the opening of a new exhibition by Ana Evtić, a final-year master's student in Contemporary Art Practices at the School of Arts, University of Nova Gorica, on Wednesday, September 17, at 7 PM.

The work begins with the tragedy in Novi Sad, when the train station canopy collapsed on November 5, 2024. Grief turned into anger, anger into resistance – and society became divided.

Two sculptural forms face each other as opposing fragments of Serbia. Their inner edges resemble teeth, close enough to meet yet positioned against one another. A projection of signs and characters from different alphabets moves between and beyond them, creating a new, unreadable language of protest, resistance, solidarity, fear, and the demand for change.

Rooted in Serbia, the work speaks to a wider world where division, violence, and confrontation are increasingly becoming part of our everyday atmosphere.

We warmly invite you to join us!
