Chameleon Apoteka / VODNJAN-DIGNANO (Croatia) 18.04.2015 – 18.05.2015 The exhibition at Apoteka continues to investigate “temporary encounters” established as a framework to explore different dynamics, spatial relations and interactions between objects and subjects, dismantling procedures, processes and relationships within the work of art and the gallery space. "The spectator is held before an appearance in a state of ignorance about the process of production of this appearance and about the reality it conceals," claims Jacques Ranciere in The Emancipated Spectator. The work by Tina Gverović and Siniša Ilić is articulating the temporariness and ephemerality of the gallery space, its fluid, almost performative character shaping the interest on uncertainty, insecurity, tensions and expectations and anxiety. The displayed works are seen as a series of interrelations and cracks intertwined in the temporary environment. The film Chameleon displays the constant development of human relations, confined by a space where those relations are reversible and changeable, through the process of the production of space (in this case, the museum). The film emphasizes the process of the construction of an environment which is still unfinished, caught between being disrupted and regulated, slowly growing into something and starting to make sense.
Chameleon was commissioned by MSUB, Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, in the framework of collaboration with Tate Modern, London. Curated by Branka Bencic Courtesy of Apoteka |
