Umetnička izjava:

Ceo moj rad je vezan za lični identitet. Tragovi koji ostaju kao rezultat istraživanja života, komunikacije i odnosa medju ljudima. Tragovi koje ostavljamo za sobom i koji ne mogu izbeći svoju sudbinu. Sve je vezano za vreme. Svaki dogadjaj je jedinstven u prostoru i vremenu. Kao što je rekao Maeterlinck: “ Ko može da govori o jačini dogadjaja? Radjaju li se iz nas ili se mi radjamo iz njih? Privlačimo ih ili nas ona privlače? Preobražavaju li nas ili mi njih preobražavamo? Da li uopšte nekad greše?”

7 Artists statement:

My work is about personal identity. The traces that remain as the result of exploring life, comunication and human relations. Traces which we leave behind and they can’t avoid their destiny. Everything is about time. Everything has its own caracteristics, nature and esency. Everything that happeneds is unique in time. Lke Maeterlinck said: „ Who can speak about the power of events? Are we them or are we nothing else but just those events? Did they gave birth to us or did we give birth to them? Do we attract them or do they attract us? Do they transform us or do we transform them? Are they ever wrong?“

Projekti Projects

Warning fragile!, 2007 Velike prirodne katastrofe nas opominju i podsećaju na granice do kojih čovek može da menja prirodu i samu planetu, a da pri tome poštuje njene zakone. Niti industrijalizacija, niti tehnološka revolucija, kao takve, ne mogu biti optužene za postojece ekološko stanje. I jedno i drugo je potrebno društvu da bi se kretalo ka prosperitetu i omogucilo bolji život, ali se i jedno i drugo moraju koristiti na pravi način kako ne bi izazvali ni ekološku, ali ni socijalnu krizu.Logika razvoja po svaku cenu bez obzira na posledice koje može da izazove je osnovni problem sa kojim se susrećemo danas. Joseph Beuys je rekao “Odbrana prirode znači zdrava životna sredina, mogućnost osnove za ljudsku egzistenciju i mogućnost umetničkog izražavanja kao što su muzika, poezija i slikarstvo.” The great destructions of nature are a tragic reminder on the limits of human intervention on nature, interaction of the whole planet and certain need of respect towards nature. Neither the industrial society nor the technology should be accused for the current ecological situation. The logic of “development no matter what” that has been adopted by all social systems constitutes still a basic cause of ecological crisis which we face today. Joseph Beuys said “The defence of nature means substitution of her health, after constitutes the base of human existence and the ground in order to develop other artistic expressions such as music, poetry and painting.” ****** ceo projekat je izlagan u galeriji o3one u Beogradu u junu 2007./the whole project was shown at the o3one gallery in Belgrade in June 2007 ****** instalacije MY LIFE SUPPORT i UNTITLED No.II su izlagane na grupnoj izložbi u Atini u decembru 2009. godine u Thission Lofts galeriji/installations MY IFE SUPPORT and UNTITLED No.II were exhibited at the Thission lofts gallery in Athens in December 2009 ***** minijatura instalacije MY LIFE SUPPORT se nalazi u trajnoj postavci kolekcije muzeja Davis Museum Contemporary Art Museum u Barseloni/miniature of the installation MY LIFE SUPPORT is in Davis museum Contemporary Art museum in Barcelona in the prmanent collection

My Life Support TEKST INSTALACIJE/INSTALLATION TEXT: - MY LIFE SUPPORT DEPENDS ON ELECTRICITY - MY LIFE SUPPORT DEPENDS ON MONEY - MY LIFE SUPPORT DEPENDS ON OTHER PEOPLE - MY LIFE SUPPORT DEPENDS ON MECHANIZED TRANSIT Instalacija prikazuje stvarnost koja je veoma slaba, krhka i koja svakog trenutka moze “pući”. Installation shows the reality thin and fragile, and it is warning us that it can easily “brake”.

Izlazeći iz naših “ličnih” prostora, posmatramo i “osećamo” stvarnost, posmatramo ulice i trotoare koji su pretvoreni u male deponije. Coming out from our “personal” spaces, we observe the reality and the stench that emerges from the non useful trash cans. I am addressing the issue of the lack of use after remaking the corners of the streets in small dumps.

Once - All the time, 2009 Autori projekta: Jelena Koštica & Kostas Karpetas Lokacija: Donji Milanovac Često moraš da zalaziš duboko u šumu da bi našao jedan cvet koji raste ispred tvojih vrata. Vreme koje smo imali na raspolaganju za rad u Nacionalnom Parku Djerdap je bilo neverovatno malo, samo 3 dana. U takvim trenutcima potrebno je zastati, oslušati i sagledati, i tek tada priroda pošinje da otkriva svoje tajne.Odluka da stvorimo tragove - privremene intervencije/instalacije u šumi došla je kao nešto neizbežno, kao jedno delo čije značenje ignorišeš i u istom trenutku smatraš najboljim rešenjem. Simbol sume kao komplikovano ili nesvesno po Jungu, kao lavirint u kome svako treba naći svoj put, izražava na najbolji način potrebu ovog postupka - dela. Šuma sa kojom je direktno povezana zemlja (ženski element) predstavljala je nekad predmet obožavanja. Nefunkcionisanje koje se zapaža u više aspekata savremenog života, pogoršanje značaja “poetske” dimenzije čoveka. Project authors: Jelena Kostica & Kostas Karpetas Location: Donji Milanovac, Serbia Often you need to go deep into the forest to find a flower that grows outside your door. The time frame we had for work in the national park Djerdap was extimely thight, only three days. In that kind of moments you need to stop, hear and see, and only then the nature begins to reveal it’s secrets. The decision to make traces – temporary interventions in the woods, came like something you can not avoid, like an act that you ignore it’s meaning and at the same time you find it the most suitable. Symbolics of the woods like something complicated and unconscious by Jung, like labyrinth in which everybody has to find their way, expresses in the best possible way the need of this act. The forest which is connected directly to the earth (female element) once represented the place of warship. The malfunction of it can be observed in different aspects of the contemporary life due the downgrading of the meaning of the human poetical dimension.

A Book About Death, 2009/2010 “Knjiga o Smrti” je jedna umetnička knjiga, projekat je počeo 2009. a završio se 2010.godine. Jedna knjiga o ljubavi i smrti. “Knjiga o Smrti” je zajednički projekat stvoren za Emilly Harvey fondaciju u Nju Jorku. Izložba je posvećena Reju Džonsonu (1927-1995), veoma uticajnoj ličnosti u savremenoj američkoj umetnosti i dugo priznatog kao “oca” mail art-a, sa njegovim stvaranjem “mreže” umetnosti The New York Correspondence School. Izložba takodje ide i u čast Emilly Harvey (1941-2004), dilera umetnosti koja je neumorno promovisala Fluxus umetnike i čija je fondacija velikodušno podržavala ceo projekat.

“A Book About Death” is an artist’s book, project started in 2009 and finished in 2010. It’s a book about love and death. “A Book About Death” is a collaborative project conceived for the Emily Harvey Foundation in New York City. The exhibition paid special homenage to Ray Johnson (1927-1995), a highly influential figure in contemporary American art, a formidable collage artist and long acknowledged as the “Father of Mail Art” with his creation of a network, The New York Correspondence School. The exhibition also paid homage and celebrated the life of Emily Harvey (1941-2004), the late art dealer who tirelessly promoted Fluxus artist and whose Foundation generously supported the project.

(a)VOID, 2011 U svojevrsnom smislu ljubavni predmet vidi drugog kao Celinu i podrazumeva da ta Celina sadži talog/osećanja koja ne može verbalno izraziti. Sa druge strane stvara čitavu estetiku drame, u čemu je pohvala za njegov lični izbor: savrsena, odabrao je SAM ovo savršentvo. Zamišlja koliko „drugi“ želi da bude voljen, kao što bi i on sam želeo, zna sve i u „drugom“ prepoznaje Celinu. Oslanja se na Celinu u primarnom značenju. Medjutim, dok je Neodoljivo SVE, u isto vreme sve nedostaje. Želja za kontrolisanjem je tu. Njegov jezik uvek nešto dotiče, muca, pokušavajući da se verbalno izrazi – ali samo će uspeti da izgovori uvek praznu reč nalik nultom stepenu.

U radu se istrаžuju različiti oblici komunikacije i interakcije: verbalni (govor razumevanje i nerazumevanje), neverbalna (gest - pokret). Rad se bavi problemom komunikacije, mogućnostima i ograničenjima ovog fenomena, istraživanjem pojma komunikacije/nedostatka komunikacije. Koja su ograničenja? Zašto su prisutna?

In the specific sense the subject of love sees the other as a whole and implies that the Whole contains certain internal sludge - feelings that he cannot verbally express. In this way the subject makes the whole aesthetic of drama, finding that the advantages of his own choice are: perfect, I choose this perfection. He imagines how the “other” wants to be loved, as he would have wanted, knows all about the other and in that “other” he recognizes the Entirety. He relies on the Whole in the primary sense. However, while the irresistible is EVERYTHING, at the same time everything is missing. The desire to control is present. His language is always touching the surface, it stutters, trying to verbally express himself - but at the end it will be able to utter only a blank word - like zero level. This work examines the various forms of communication and interaction: verbal (speech - understanding and misunderstanding), nonverbal (gesture - a movement). The work also deals with the communication capabilities and limitations of this phenomenon, investigating the concept of communication / lack of communication.What are the limits? Why are they present?

EVERYDAY TRAGEDY, 2012 Čitavu instalaciju predstavlja jabuka, kao simbol Celine, kao svakodnevni dogadjaj koji se ponavlja, kao gest, kao momenat. Problem komunikacije je uvek prisutan i nerešiv. Samo jednolični razgovori... Ništa više od bezznačajnih i praznih konverzacija. Ne samo da se danas suočavamo sa velikom ekonomskom i političkom krizom, suočavamo se takođe i sa ogromnom društvenom krizom. Ne treba verovati da govor služi uvek u svakoj bitnoj konverzaciji. Čim imamo nešto od značaja da kažemo, primorani smo da zaćutimo. Borimo se protiv nevidljivih i neprijatnih trenutaka tišine, dozivajući jedan večni gubitak koji nikada nećemo moći da nadoknadimo. Reči „prolaze“ kroz ljude, dok se tišina nikada ne gubi. Rad govori o „rupi“ u komunikaciji, o ništavilu, kao jednom ozbiljnom problemu/ činjenici, koja se konstantno ponavlja. O praznim medjuljudskim odnosima, o odnosima iz jednostavne potrebe da bi se izbeglo nešto što je neizbeživo.

„Svaka reč je kao nepotrebna mrlja u ništavilu i u tišini“.

– S. Beket

Želim da publika učestvuje u radu i komunicira sa njim. Da bi došlo do toga, morali bi uzeti i pojesti jabuke - KONZUMIRAMO svakodnevne probleme i konverzacije, a otpadke bacamo pored instalacije, i time stvaramo jednu novu. Ovaj proces bi bio dokumentovan tokom otvaranja izlozbe, kao i nakon njenog otvaranja. The entire installation is based on the apple as a symbol of Entity, as an everyday event that is repeated, as a gesture, as the moment. As well as the financial, we face the social crisis today. This installation addresses the issue of problems, repeated every day, communication gaps and shallow human relations in general. The problem of communication is always present and uncertain. Only dull conversations, nothing more than meaningless and empty talks. We cannot believe that the language used, is always essential in every conversation. As soon as we have something important to say, we are forced to become silent. We are fighting against the invisible and unpleasant moments of silence, calling for one eternal loss that we will never be able to catch up. The words “pass” through people, while the silence is never lost. The work speaks of the communication “gap” , one void, as a serious problem/fact, which is constantly repeated. The shallow human relations, the relations from a simple need to avoid something that cannot be avoided.

“Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness.” - S. Beckett I want the audience to communicate and interact with the piece. To do so, they will have to take and eat the apples exhibited -We are CONSUMING our everyday problems and conversations – and throw the leftovers next by the installation, creating new work. This will be documented /photographed during the opening and at the start of the exhibition.

Komunikacija među ljudima je u sadašnjem društvu postala sve tehnološki naprednija. Omogućeno nam je da budemo deo velike grupe, prevazilazeći geografsku udaljenost, jezičke barijere, i to sve u kratkom vremenskom roku. Ubrzanjem životnog tempa, vreme postaje dragoceno, a međuljudski odnosi sve površniji. Da li dovoljno komuniciramo, i kako se odnosimo prema nedostatku istog?

Communication between people in modern society became more technologically advanced. We are able to to be part of a larger group, transcending geographical distances, language barriers, and all in a short period of time. Acceleration of the pace of life, time becomes precious, and all relationships superficial. Do we communicate enough, and how do we relate to the absence of comunnication?
