The Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska staged two solo exhibitions as part of its Multimedia Art Project, of artists Nina Todorović ("Memento Urbis") and Predrag Terzić ("Leistung").

Nina Todorović’s exhibition included the artist’s ten-year-long project, among which the series "Interstitial", "Alpha Nests", "Architecture of Memory", "Decoding Memory" (photographs, objects, installations, videos). The artist’s work deals with mementoes, or memories and attempts to preserve them. Nina Todorović’s explorations principally focus on the city as a continuously changing category, a scene of human memory, a programme dictating the dynamics of life, an embodiment of the ruling ideology, a place of incredible intersections and merges of historical layers of time, a place with which one interacts. The exhibition revealed the multilayeredness of the research developed by the artist through her series of works and deliberately led the visitor through unequivocal segments that form a single conceptual whole.

The exhibition of Predrag Terzić’s works mostly consisted of drawings taken from sketchbooks and enlarged to life size, made in charcoal on the walls of The Museum of Contemporary Art of the Republic of Srpska. They showed scenes from present-day professional basketball matches, situations captured during games, aspects of collapse, fighting for the ball, moments of contact between players. The scenes were stylistically remade to look more like sketches, like quickly abstracted drawings, in a way chosen for their composition, for the action within the game, to highlight the actual moment of struggle, of pathos, of the final contact that turns a match already lost into a potential success story. The works put a stress on the dramatic quality of the play, and it is the human body and contact that are primarily objectified in them, the latter being a particularly important element of play, used as the principal means of communication on the court. Terzić’s focus remains on moments of encounter, as he wishes to visualise physical sensations, while the players’ faces reveal the intensity of the pain they feel and the immense physical effort of their bodies.

During the exhibition the artists led guided tours for students of the Academy of Arts and the general public.
