"AT Meculanov the 'global village' has no space that is not recommended for the representation of signs that try to flood the market and create a mass consumer always already subscribed to a completely scattered product. In the ideology of late postmodernism (which, F. Jameson notes, closely follows the 'micropolitics' of the decentralized, new left) based on improvisatory interpretations (a fragment of history, a sovereign subject, a utilitarian mind), it is indeed not possible to dethrone the sign of a protean product! There is still time C.Wright Mills well knew how 'television is a generator of popular trivialization', as a result of which every criterion established over time suffers, and thus the exterior is gradually transformed into a field for exhibiting total visual noise. The sign in a frenetic phantasm tries to fix an apparent product that pleads for the planetary management of the neoliberal, hegemonized market, persistently leaving behind a secondary image of a flickering trace (the ghost of the screen)," wrote Vuković.
Latković was born in 1981 in Titograd. After graduating from the high school in Podgorica, he completed his basic studies in fine arts at the department of graphic design at the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Bratislava, where he received his master's degree in 2007 with a double master's thesis: the theoretical thesis "Montenegro - typography as a mirror of culture" and an art exhibition. By a letter against the Gentiles".
For more than a decade, he has been teaching at the Faculty of Visual Arts in Podgorica in the field of graphic design, typography and design history. As a full professor, he also held the position of dean of FVU. In addition to Montenegro, he exhibited in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Czech Republic, Finland, Slovakia and Serbia. He works sporadically in translation, spent a short time working in the advertising industry, and mainly designs books, packaging and visual identities. His field of interest also includes vocal music. He participated in performances of large and chamber works of the Baroque and Renaissance, in the premiere of the Montenegrin opera "Balkanska carica" and in studio recordings with various vocal ensembles abroad.
The exhibition will be open until August 31.
