About this event
This exhibition, created by Jasmina Cukić and Marija S. Đorđević, curators at the National Museum of Serbia, brings together selected works from the museum’s Collection of 20th-Century Yugoslav Painting, along with one contemporary video work.
Conceived as a thematic and interpretive project, it explores the meanings carried by the painted nude through relationships between pose, gaze, drapery, flesh tones and other visual elements. Rather than presenting works strictly in chronological order or through the idea of the masterpiece, the exhibition invites visitors to consider how images of the body generate different readings.
The exhibition is designed as a dialogue: between two curators, between two exhibition spaces of the National Museum of Serbia, and between the artworks and the viewer. Its aim is to encourage visitors to reflect on their own way of looking at the body and at the artwork itself.
The exhibition opens at the National Museum of Serbia on Thursday, 29 October at 18:00, and continues at the Spomen-muzej Nadežde i Rastka Petrovića on Friday, 30 October from 13:00.
