An Artist Who Does Not... / acrylic on cotton / 2019
This piece is a homage to Mladen Stilinović, famous Yugoslav conceptual artist and his piece “AN ARTIST WHO CANNOT SPEAK ENGLISH IS NO ARTIST”. It closely follows Stilinović's execution, and adds a remark that relates to a peculiar position of art and artist in so-called "free market capitalism", questioning representation of art, its appraisal and meaningfulness.
Ovo je homage M. Stilinoviću, čuvenom jugoslovenskom konceptualnom umjetniku i njegovom radu “Umetnik koji ne govori engleski nije umetnik”. Moj rad (platnena torba) je načinjen doslovce po ugledu na Mladenov rad, uz malu opasku koja se odnosi na položaj umetnika i umetnosti u takozvanom “neoliberalnom kapitalizmu”, tj. na pitanje kako umetnost reklamirati, prodati, i uopste šta činiti s njom.
