Supervizuelna u studiju – MATRIJARŠIJA
Supervizuelna u studiju je ovom prilikom posetila prostor autonomnog kulturnog centra Matrijaršije. Video donosi uvid u radni prostor, mašine i alate, pojedine radove i projekte članova kolektiva i arhivu u nastajanju, dok smo se u razgovoru sa Žoanom Markade Mo i Milicom Ivić, koje su jedne od osnivačica, dotakle brojnih interesantnih tema. Ono što izdvaja ovu epizodu jeste činjenica da se po prvi put bavimo ne samo radnim prostorom, već i pitanjima osnivanja, održavanja, načina funkcionisanja i rada kolektiva. Pored toga, naše sagovornice su nam pričale i o prethodnim prostorima koje su koristili i procesima njihovog pronalaženja, uspostavljanju i širenju njihove mreže i saradnje, različitim projektima i festivalima čiji su autori i koje organizuju, kao i o različitim vrstama štampe i njihovim karakteristikama. Žoana nam je pokazivala i neke od samostalnih publikacija autora i autorki realizovanih pri Matrijaršiji, ali i primer saradnje sa Muzejom Jugoslavije, različite prostorije i njihove namene, kao i frižider sa bojama, dok smo sa Milicom razgovarale o dobrim stranama rada u koletivu i njihovom trajanju.

On this occasion, Supervizuelna in the Studio visited the space of the autonomous cultural center Matrijaršija. The video offers insight into the working space, machines and tools, selected works and projects by members of the collective, and the archive in progress. In our conversation with Žoana Markadé Mo and Milica Ivić, two of the founding members, we touched on numerous interesting topics. What sets this episode apart is the fact that, for the first time, we not only explore a working space but also delve into questions of founding, maintaining, and the modes of functioning and operation of the collective. In addition, our interlocutors spoke about their previous spaces and the processes of finding, establishing, and expanding their network and collaborations, the various projects and festivals they have authored and organized, as well as the different types of printing techniques and their specific characteristics. Žoana also showed us several self-published works by authors produced at Matrijaršija, as well as an example of their collaboration with the Museum of Yugoslavia, various rooms and their purposes, and even the fridge with paint. With Milica, we discussed the benefits of working within a collective and the longevity of their shared practice. You can watch the new episode on our YouTube channel via the following link.
Opis preuzet sa sajta Matrijaršije:
Matrijaršija (izgovor: mah-tree-yar-shee-ya) sebe definiše kao autonomni kulturni centar, ali svaki od tih pojmova više je problem nego rešenje. Matrijaršija je pre svega mesto, ali i materijalizacija mnogo šire mreže produkcije, akcije, poetika, kosmogonija, pozicioniranja, uverenja i kompleksnih umetničkih, egzistencijalnih i teorijskih praksi. Nastala je 2014. kada su se dve formalne asocijacije (Turbo Comix i Artiljerija) i nekoliko neformalnih grupa okupili, uz stalnu saradnju sa udruženjem Art Brut Serbia. Nestruktuirana mreža uključuje i Novo Doba Festival, Fijuk distribuciju, kolektive Mubareć, Dedice i Bitlsti. Stvoren je prostor za neinstitucionalnu, art brut, neusklađenu, rubnu umetnost autora van umetničkog sistema. Matrijaršija je “nemoguće” mesto, jer su aktivnosti koje su je prethodile već postojale. Danas je njen cilj proizvodnja turbulentne umetnosti i novih načina komunikacije sa publikom, uz materijalnu osnovu za rad i strategije izlaganja. Matrijaršija predstavlja mesto susreta autora iz Beograda, Srbije i Evrope, i podstiče prakse koje se pretaču u oblik starateljstva i očuvanja polujavnog statusa ove umetnosti. Aktivnosti uključuju godišnji program, rezidencijalni program Prekomanda, i stalni rad radionica: sito-štampa, grafika i muzika.

Matrijaršija (pronounced: mah-tree-yar-shee-ya) defines itself as an autonomous cultural centre, but each of these definitions is more a problem than a solution. Matrijaršija is first and foremost a place, but also the materialization of a wider network of production, action, poetics, cosmogonies, positions, convictions, and complex artistic, existential and theoretical practices. It was created in 2014 when two formal associations (Turbo Comix and Artiljerija) and several informal groups came together, along with constant collaboration with Art Brut Serbia. Its non-structure includes the Novo Doba Festival crew, Fijuk distribution, and collectives Mubareć, Dedice and Bitlsti. It created a space for non-institutional, art brut, non-aligned, fringe art – by authors beyond the art system. Matrijaršija is an “impossible” place, since the activities that preceded it had already existed. Its goal is to generate turbulent art and new ways of communicating with the audience, while building a material basis for production and exhibition strategies. Today, Matrijaršija is a gathering point for authors from Belgrade, Serbia and Europe, encouraging practices that increasingly take the shape of a specific form of custodianship and preservation of this art’s semi-public status. Its activities include the annual program, the Prekomanda (Transferal) residency, and ongoing work in printmaking, screen printing and music studios.
