Supervizuelna u studiju – IRENA GAJIĆ
Supervizuelna u studiju je u novoj epizodi posetila umetnicu Irenu Gajić. Obišle smo njen životni prostor sa delom namenjenim za rad, a koji je za potrebe snimanja ovog videa prvi put upotrebljen, kao i zaseban prostor ateljea. Irena nam je pokazivala svoje radove u različitim medijima i u različitim, fizičkim i digitalnim formatima, obrazlažući svoj postupak u kojem objedinjuje umetničke, dizajnerske i arhitektonske pristupe i alate. Sa Irenom smo prelistavale neke od njoj značajnih kataloga i razgovarale o tome kako je počela da se profesionalno bavi ilustracijom, kako uspeva da pri radu sa klijentima prevaziđe mogućnosti ograničavanja i repetitivnosti, kao i o tome koji su sve elementi, postupci i pojave koje su uticale na uspostavljanje njenog umetničkog pristupa. Pored toga, u videu možete videti kadrove sa Irenine samostalne izložbe Zakulisna stanja, održane u Kuli Cetinjskoj u maju ove godine. Nova epizoda dostupna je na našem Youtube kanalu putem sledećeg linka.

Supervizuelna in the Studio,, in its new episode, visited the artist Irena Gajić. We toured her living space, which includes an area designated for work—used for the first time for the filming of this video—as well as a separate studio space. Irena showed us her works across various media and in different physical and digital formats, explaining her process in which she combines artistic, design, and architectural approaches and tools. Together with Irena, we flipped through some catalogs that are important to her and talked about how she began working professionally in illustration, how she manages to overcome the limitations and repetitiveness that can arise when working with clients, and what elements, methods, and phenomena have influenced the formation of her artistic approach. In addition, the video includes footage from Irena’s solo exhibition held at Kula Cetinjska in May of this year. The new episode is available on our YouTube channel via the following link.
