RE-CYCLE/RE-CREATE, 2017
An exhibition at the Gallery of Contemporary Art, Nis, Serbia
re-cycle / re-create
how many things
are completely new,
how many of the words, that we use every day
are invented by us,
we walk the same road
we see the same faces,
we hear the same words
when we want a change, we want to change something old and already well known,
we compare the present day with the previous one,
when we learn something new, we add it to the files of our memory, where we keep the old and familiar things,
"old" and "new" are relative concepts
renewal is the transformation of the old,
recreation and reproduction
are parts of life
the works presented here have their stories
that hide under layers of paint or paper,
the works presented here are revised, modified, updated,
they have received possibility
to show their “new faces” and
add new meanings to their existences…
