Exhibitions

Designed as a series of gaming ecosystems, the AVANTGARDEN cycle, initiated and created in 2018 by multimedia artist Tanja Vujinović, is an interactive Gesamtkunstwerk. It is made up of virtual synthetic worlds in which architecture, sounds, videos, and sculptural compositions create environments of gardens, nightclubs, concert venues, fashion studios, playgrounds, galleries and protolaboratories, frequented by avatars on social VR platforms embedded in cultural events and games.

The retrospective Art Is Always the Next Possibility presents seven decades of artistic oeuvre of the renowned artist Yoshio Nakajima. He was one of the first working in the field of performance and happenings from the legendary Tokyo avant-garde scene of the 1960s and was strongly influenced by the DADA, Fluxus and Gutai movements. Nakajima's oeuvre expresses faith in the individual and in humanity.

The exhibition On the Line of Flight – Towards Possible Worlds is a project by Teodora Nikčević and Anja Marković, curators at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro. It brings together works by Montenegrin artists of the younger and mid-career generations who work outside the established categories of conventional art forms. Their curatorial approach is clearly defined by last year's exhibition Living Images, which was part of a broader project of the aforementioned museum titled Montenegro Today.
