Montenegrin artists Ivan Đurišić, Goran Ćetković, Rade Vujačić i Hana Mirkov presented themselves at the second edition of the Biennial of Fantasy in Belgrade, which opened on September 16 in the Ilija Kolarca gallery, and is organized under the auspices of the Mihajlović Feniks Foundation.
The works of Đurišić, Ćetković, Vujačić and Mirkova were included in the selection of 25 works chosen in competition from around 350 applicants. A jury presided over by an academic painter was in charge of the concept and selection of the international installation Željko Đurović, and the members are the art historian, dr Oliver Tomic and academic artist dr Snezana Petrovic.
"At the second Biennale of Fantasy, authentic works are also present, which, in turn, form a single matrix. Namely, in the meantime, with the existence of the Biennale, fiction gained a guaranteed presence in the exhibition corps, which brought great relief to many excellent creators. The Biennale finally restored the place it deserves to the fantastic," stated Irina Tomić in the text "Dreams of reality" on the occasion of the exhibition.
She believes that fantasy is an integral and creative part of every human being, because we all dream and in our dreams we meet and/or create incredible worlds and beings.
“Spanish writer and philosopher Miguel Unamuno he defined human beings as 'a dream that dreams'. Dreaming provides an infinite space and allows people to generate creative, new ideas. Dreams and dreaming are therefore quite naturally connected by the process, and this connection brings a significantly new quality to the real world", she wrote and emphasized that through works of art that are shared with the public, dreams become shared, and art becomes social dreaming.
