\n<\/b>GALLERY OF FLOATING ARCHIPELAGOS
\n<\/b>Karas Gallery
\n<\/b>23.5.-13.6.2023.<\/b><\/p>\n
On Tuesday, 23.5.2023. Martina Miholi\u0107 <\/b>opens her solo exhibition entitled Gallery of Floating Archipelagos<\/b>, at 7 pm in Karas Gallery<\/b> (Ulica kralja Zvonimira 58).<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In her foreword, Barbara Vujanovi\u0107<\/b> emphasizes:<\/p>\n
One of the narrative backbones of the series of works, which, however, is not literally staged in the exhibitions, is Hans Christian Andersen’s famous fairy tale \u201cThe Little Mermaid\u201c. The story of a tragic character who sacrifices her greatest virtue, her voice, and then her body, and even her existence, is an ideal reference to the contemporary imperative of constant adaptation of female appearance to the imposed canons of beauty. The body changed by cosmetics, surgery and exercise continues its further transformation in the digital and viral reality, which perpetuates further imperatives of artificial and unnecessary ideals.<\/i><\/p>\n
