Barbara Knezevic: new sculpture ‘Where exists a remnant’ For her solo exhibition at The Dock, Barbara Knezevic will present an array of sculptures and artworks comprised of wax, salt, steel, marble, fabric and rubber. These materials are moulded, bent, stacked and assembled into arrangements that recall monuments, markers and signifying structures. The artworks arise from the artist’s consideration of the aesthetics of permanence, a desire to claim objects and mark existence materially, and of the temporary nature of the exhibition format itself.
