Tanja OSTOJIĆ Strategies of Success / Curator Series
Tanja Ostojic is a practical artist who conducts multifaceted studies and poses questions on issues the European society and the art world face by using various media such as performance, video, and photographs. <Naked Life>, which is one of her major projects, involves forming a strong bond with gypsies and prepares a venue for sharing and healing their deep sadness by exposing their colonial wounds to a platform where the local community and activists can engage in discussions. In particular, <Naked Life 6> which is submitted to the exhibition is a performance taking the form of a presentation to deal with issues such as gypsies’ life of poverty, social and political exclusion, deportation, racism, xenophobia and the like. Through this work, she poses an ethical question ‘how is it possible that a specific ethnic group is constantly exposed and deprived of human rights politically and socially in today’s modern European society?’ |
