As part of the program segment FLUID Expo, the seventh consecutive FLUID design forum, two exhibitions will be opened in the Montenegrin art gallery “Miodrag Dado Đurić” in Cetinje.
The exhibition “ARCHI_MORPH”, by the Italian architect and illustrator Federico Babina, will be opened on Friday, April 12 at 12 noon. The authors of the exhibition, which is organized by the National Museum of Montenegro and FLUID, are Federico Babina and Ana Matić, and the curator is Miloš Marjanović.
The exhibition includes several series of illustrations that connect other artistic disciplines and themes through references to architecture. The exhibition will feature works from the ARCHIST series that transpose well-known names of contemporary art by connecting them with well-known objects of contemporary architecture. In the ARCHIPLAN series of works, the author creates a unique visualization of reference architectural buildings. The series of works ARHIBET is an illustrated typographic dictionary of architects, while in the series ARCHITALE, ARCHIMUSIC and ARCHIPOEM the author connects architecture with reference musical authors and literary works in a unique way.
On the same day, at 12:30 p.m., the photo exhibition “Photo SHIFTINGS” by Sandra Đurović, produced by the National Museum of Montenegro, NVU FLUX and FLUID, will be opened. The curator of the exhibition is Miloš Marjanović.
The exhibition presents selected photographic works of young authors who received or are receiving their education at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Cetinje. The exhibition will feature the works of Ana Janković, Sara Jolić, Ana Mitrović, Iva Marinović, Sara Petrović, Željka Pestorić, Novak Saveljić and Ivan Velimirović. The works were created as part of process exercises on subjects in the field of photography, and the results obtained go beyond the framework of the exercise itself and indicate the ability of young authors to use the medium of photography for independent artistic research. The works are connected by the author’s individual aesthetics built through different photographic themes that are the result of personal choice or affinity. The thematic framework of the presented works is diverse – they reexamine the reality in which we live, visualize the experience of a (new) living environment, interpret the contemporary urban environment, carry out artistic self-reflection or develop specific thematic art. And it is precisely this diversity that gives this exhibition a multiple visual expression in reading contemporary trends in the sphere of photography.
