The opening of the exhibition by ISMAR \u010cIRKINAGI\u0106<\/strong>, THE HOUSE IN A FOREST ON A COAST<\/em><\/strong> will be on Thursday, July 22<\/strong> at 8pm<\/strong>, in Ba\u010dva Gallery<\/strong>, Home of HDLU (Me\u0161trovi\u0107 pavilion).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe House in a Forest on a Coast<\/em> is a total installation composed of elements in various media of art. Horizontally, there is a representation of a house foundation covering the floor, whereas a large-scale representation of sails on a ship is vertically stretched out towards the ceiling, amid which a sound piece auditorily unites the two aces by veiling over all the exhibited components and resonating in the space between them. [\u2026] According to the artist, this systematic display of debris is a \u201cre-enactment\u201d of the Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) routine, which often appears as a consequence of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Just as the debris convey memories about places that no longer exist in their original form, the clothes convey memories of bodies and persons who were once wearing them. The sails are, namely, sewn from the clothes that belonged to people who died as victims of violence with political backgrounds, such as armed conflicts, terrorist attacks and forced migration.<\/p>\n

[\u2026] The result is an artistic organisation of mnemonic elements from different geographical and historical contexts on display next to one another, which invites the viewer to interpret the exhibition from the transcultural perspective of humankind, rather than from specific national orientations. [The artist’s] desire is to show the universality of the human experience by focusing on similarities rather than differences among humans. [\u2026] Oneness with humanity is thus the key to unlocking The House in a Forest on a Coast. \u201c<\/em><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE ARTIST:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ismar \u010cirkinagi\u0107 was born in 1973 in Prijedor, Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was a part of the Socijalist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. He came to Denmark in 1992, following the breakdown of the country and the brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing in his region of Northwestern Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1997 \u010cirkinagi\u0107 enrolled at the Copenhagen Art School and remained there until 2000 when he was admitted to The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. Most of his artistic practice is thematically related to the socio-political themes and mainly produced in the form of a conceptual installation consisting of videos, photos, texts, and object-based elements. In recent years he has had exhibitions in museums and kunsthalle in Denmark and internationally. \u010cirkinagi\u0107\u2019s artworks can today be found in several Danish public collections.<\/p>\n
