U okviru svoje prve samostalne izložbe u Banjaluci u Muzeju savremene umjetnosti Republike Srpske vajar Radoš Antonijević će se predstaviti sa više prostornih objekata i instalacija.

“The Garden of Eden”, “The Kosovo Series”, “One Man’s Garden”, “I Can’t Live in Fear because of Indispensability” and the art intervention “Potato Eaters” started earlier may be viewed as separate items, but also as an ensemble which may be understood as showing the complex relationship between social and personal narratives merging into a single image and bringing a new reading. Each and every of these stories has a title and includes special objects or sculptures, which makes them peculiar sculptural installations.

The concept of the exhibition investigates the destiny of man as an individual in relation to complex historical, national, religious, political, cultural, ideological and a great many other influences working to form and determine him. The exhibition raises the fundamental issues of existence, searching for one’s self, one’s place in the world and one’s stances, while also trying to answer the question of what position is the right one, the sound one, one that allows us to find real answers.

Radoš Antonijević is an assistant professor at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade and the Academy of Arts in Banja Luka, where he teaches Fundamentals of Sculpture. In his work he explores the medium of sculpture and its limits, creating works of art that problematise questions of function, form, physicality and perception. These formal explorations typically delve into subjects touching upon the neuralgic points of life, as they deal with aspects of history, politics, culture and society. Radoš Antonijević’s sculptures often juxtapose function and form with elements of the comical and tragical in the same image.

Radoš Antonijević was born in Pančevo in 1969. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade (Department of Sculpture), from which he also earned a doctoral degree in 2014. He is a member of ULUS (Association of Fine Artists of Serbia), and also a founding member of the independent art association "The Third Belgrade”. He lives and works in Smederevo and Belgrade.
