In the "Velimir A. Leković" Gallery, the group exhibition "Artifacts Exhibition" was opened the night before yesterday, where members of the young generation of Bar artists exhibited their illustrations, drawings and sculptures: Andrija Krivokapić, Joko Lekić, Andrija Vujošević and Aleksandar Vujošević.
Opening the exhibition, journalist and publicist Željko Milović said that the story of an alternative is a story of freedom, and that the story of an alternative in art "is a story of free, unrestrained art, one that is not enslaved by norms and rules and that cannot be molded in advance agreed coordinates". He described the authors of the exhibition as members of the rock generation, but "not the first or the second, but from the time when rock as a subculture mutated into various forms".
"Before us are renaissance artists in the sense of people who are not interested in expressing themselves through only one branch of art, but deal or have dealt with music, acting, comics, what not. An artist who is only interested in one path to the goal, never trust him, because that means he has no breadth. Today, critics would call their work postmodern, which is actually just a nicer term for 'creating something out of everything'. And these guys, you'll see, are interested in everything," Milović said.
He welcomed the fact that the prestigious Bar gallery opened "this time the door for a different kind of art", adding that it was not the first time, and that "every time it was the right move".
"Alternative art has always existed, each of the great arts was first an alternative, and then became a generally accepted mainstream. And, of course, that she had to go through all that process of being thrown to the sidelines and to the side, not to mention being despised or silenced, until she became what she is," concluded MIlović.
The exhibition is on display until April XNUMX.
