Alma Gačanin: Personal Best
23 | 9 – 20 | 10 | 2023
Radovi Alme Gačanin mogu se čitati kao svojevrstan dnevnik, i to prije svega dnevnik rada. Kako sama u svojoj biografiji redovito ističe, Alma živi i radi kao umjetnica, bez obzira na posao koji u datom trenutku obavlja. Je li to zaobilazni način da se kaže da se od umjetnosti ne živi, da se za život obično radi neki drugi posao? Eufemizam? Nastali u relativno dugom luku, od 2018. do jučer, radovi tako reflektiraju razne njezine proizvodne pozicije: od stanovanja u roditeljskom domu, gdje mi je bio omogućen vrhunski self care, život bubrega u loju, preko osamostaljivanja, morala sam sve to da pokvarim i otisnem se u svijet avantura tj. prekarijata (Ovo bi moja mama rekla!), i prihvaćanja raznih privremenih poslova, poput onoga stjuardese, sve do rezidencijalnog boravka u jednom od centara svijeta umjetnosti, New Yorku. Iako dnevnički, radovi ipak nisu intimističkog karaktera, oni su više na tragu onoga što Annie Ernaux naziva auto-socio-fikcijom: priča o sebi kroz nužnu društvenu optiku. Stoga oni zrcale kontekste u kojima nastaju, više nego samu autoricu. Ona je, uostalom, ionako neprepoznatljiva.

Alma Gačanin (Sarajevo, 1988.) živi i radi kao umjetnica, bez obzira na posao koji obavlja u datom trenutku. Master u edukaciji likovnih umjetnosti stekla je na Akademiji likovnih umjetnosti u Sarajevu na Nastavničkom odsjeku. Bavi se crtežom, fotografijom, videom i performansom. Dobitnica je nagrade za najbolju/eg umjetnicu/ka u BiH, ZVONO 2022. Predstavljala je BiH na Bijenalu mladih Europe i Mediterana u Milanu 2015. Njen rad se temelji na istraživanju specifičnosti rada i prekarnosti pojedinih zanimanja, a posebno je zanima pozicija žene u kapitalizmu i rodna podjela rada. Feministkinja je u privatnom životu i u ulogama koje igra kao umjetnica-radnica. Piše poeziju i objavljuje u časopisima, zbornicima i na internet portalima u BiH i regiji.
Izložba je organizirana u suradnji s BLOK-om i Ninom Bačun.
Alma Gačanin’s works can be read as a journal of sorts, primarily a work log. As she regularly emphasizes in her biography, Alma lives and works as an artist, regardless of the job she is currently performing. Is this a roundabout way of saying that one does not make a living from art, that usually another job is needed? A euphemism? Created over a relatively long period, from 2018 to date, the works reflect her various production positions: from living in her parents’ home, where I could indulge in excellent self-care, snug as a bug, to becoming independent; I had to ruin it all and venture into the world of adventures, that is, of the precariat (As my mom would say!), and accepting various odd jobs, such as being a flight attendant, all through taking up a residency in New York, one of the world’s art centers. Although journalesque, the works are not of an intimate nature; they are more in line with what Annie Ernaux calls auto-socio-fiction: a story about oneself through essential social optics. Therefore, they reflect the contexts in which they were created more than the author herself. She is, after all, unrecognizable.

Alma Gačanin (Sarajevo, 1988) lives and works as an artist, regardless of the job she might have at any given time. She holds a Master’s degree in Fine Arts Education from the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo, specializing in Art Education. She creates drawings, photography, video, and performance art. In 2022, she received the ZVONO Award for the best artist in Bosnia and Herzegovina. She represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the Biennale of Young Artists from Europe and the Mediterranean in Milan in 2015. Her work is based on exploring the specificities of labour and the precarity of certain occupations, with a particular focus on the position of women in capitalism and gendered division of labor. She identifies as a feminist in her personal life and in the roles she assumes as an artist-worker. Alma also writes poetry and has been published in magazines, anthologies, and online portals in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the region.
Organised in collaboration with BLOK and Nina Bačun.
