Andreja Kulunčić Art for Social Change

Live streaming from 7pm, Wednesday 26 July.

Join Andreja Kulunčić to discuss her artistic production which operates on the liminal areas of the society and suggest the capability of art to offer grounds for the rethinking certain social patterns and creating new ones.

Exploration of new models of sociability and communication situations, an interest for socially engaged themes, confrontation with different audiences, and collaboration on collective projects characterise Kulunčić's artistic practice. She sets up her own interdisciplinary networks, seeing artistic work as a process of cooperation (co-creation) and self-organisation, often asking the audience actively to participate and "finish" the work.

Art is understood as research, by which research results are no longer primary, but are rather one of the integral components, the background on which artistic production unfolds. Multidisciplinarity in which specific artistic skills are complemented by skills from other areas as sociology, philosophy, natural science, activism is an important element of her artistic practice.

By operating from the liminal areas and focusing her critique on the central values of imaginary institutions of globalising societies and divisions conditioned by them, her artistic production suggests the capability of art to offer polemical grounds for the rethinking and dissolution of certain social patterns and the creation of new ones.

Her work has been presented at international exhibitions, including: Documenta11 (Kassel), Manifesta4 (Frankfurt/Main), 8.Istanbul Biennial (Istanbul), Liverpool Biennial04 (Liverpool), 10.Triennial-India (New Delhi); Collective shows in museums, including: Whitney Museum of American Art (New York), PS1 (New York), Museum MUAC (Mexico City), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), Kumu Art Museum (Tallin), Museum of Contemporary Art (Zagreb), Museum of Contemporary Art (Ljubljana), Garage Museum (Moskva), Lentos kunstmuseum (Linz), Museum of Modern Art (Saint-Etienne); Solo shows at Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (Mexico City), Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art (Belgrade) and Museo MADRE (Napoli), among others.
