Supervizuelna u studiju – SRĐA DRAGOVIĆ I MILENA VUKOSLAVOVIĆ
Drugu sezonu serijala Supervizuelna u studiju završavamo sa epizodom u kojoj smo posetili atelje umetnika Srđe Dragovića i umetnice Milene Vukoslavović. Razgovarali smo o tome kako su došli do prostora u kojem trenutno rade, o njihovim pojedinačnim metodologijama rada i interesovanjima, ali i o zajedničkim temama kojima se u svom umetničkom radu bave i izlaganju. Milena nam je pričala o tome kako je sa studija grafike napravila tranziciju i krenula da se, tokom poslednjih godina, dominantno bavi slikarstvom, o svom interesovanju za kolorit u našem okruženju, što nas je onda dovelo do aktuelne teme uloge i značaja javnog prostora. Od Srđe smo mogli da čujemo o iskustvu kreiranja neformalnog kolektiva Ilustress (Srđa Dragović, Radovan Vukasović, Ivana Vujošević, Denis Ćupić, Sara Kovačević i Jovana Mugoša), težnjama ka uspostavljanju komunikacije sa publikom na lokalu i u regionu, te oslanjanju na mlade kada je praćenje umetnosti u pitanju. Finale ove sezone možete, kao i prethodne epizode da pronađete na našem Youtube kanalu, kao i na sledećem linku.

We’re concluding the second season of the series Supervizuelna in the Studio with an episode in which we visited the studios of artist Srđa Dragović and artist Milena Vukoslavović. We talked about how they found the spaces where they currently work, their individual working methodologies and interests, as well as the shared topics they explore in their artistic practice and exhibitions. Milena told us about her transition from studying printmaking to focusing predominantly on painting in recent years, her interest in the colors of our surroundings, which then led us to the current topic of the role and significance of public space. From Srđa, we heard about the experience of creating the informal collective Ilustress (Srđa Dragović, Radovan Vukasović, Ivana Vujošević, Denis Ćupić, Sara Kovačević, and Jovana Mugoša), the collective’s efforts to establish communication with audiences locally and regionally, and the importance they place on engaging young people when it comes to following art. You can find the season finale, just like the previous episodes, on our YouTube channel, as well as at the following link.
