ARTIST STATEMENT

Drawing has occupied the most significant position in my practice since 2009. Being my primary mode of expression, I have always understood it in a broader sense of the term: the limits of the medium itself need to be pushed towards constantly expanding horizons of yet unknown possibilities. Accordingly, drawing over old books’ pages makes it possible for me to ground images upon which my large-scale installations find a way to emerge as new and complex realities. In the image-making process thus conceived my practice actively and persistently inscribes itself into an ongoing reflection - pressing for our time in history - on what might be called ethical, cultural and visual anthropology of contemporary citizenship as political subjectivities torn between governing and the governed, between power and subjection, between sovereignty and resistance. 

BIOGRAPHY

Bojan Radojcic (*1981, Yugoslavia) is a visual artist based in Belgrade, Serbia. He has been committed to pursuing a career in the arts since the age of eleven. His formative years were most notably marked by the cultural atmosphere of the city of Sabac, where he attended the Cultural Center’s School of Painting and Drawing (1992-96) before continuing at the local High School of the Arts (1996-2000). In the early 2000s he studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade and graduated in 2004. Since 2001 his work has been publicly shown both in Serbia and abroad (most notably in Croatia, Denmark and Germany). Beside twelve individual shows so far (2009-14) he also took part in numerous group exhibition projects including Art Copenhagen (due to his ongoing collaboration with Galerie Pi from Copenhagen since 2011). His works make part of private collections in Denmark, Iceland, Italy and Norway as well as of a public collection in Serbia (Museum of Contemporary Art of Vojvodina, Novi Sad). He is a member of ULUS - Association of Visual Artists of Serbia.
