Formal opening of the exhibition SCREEN PRESENT TENSE will open in the Bačva Gallery of the Home of the Croatian Association of Artists on Friday, June 9, 2017 at 7 pm Exhibition opening will be followed by performance ”Show Personality Not Personal Items’ by Nora Turato.

The exhibition Screen Present Tense is dedicated to contemporary forms of performing arts and feminism. Throughout its history, performance was never completely unmediated, devoid of a certain level of mediation. Moreover, performance is often technology-dependent, whether it be text, photography, video archives, or social networks. The paradox of all forms of contemporary technological mediations lies in the fact that the real body is being constantly transformed into a body-image. In other words, the embodied experienced is never free from technology. On the other hand, it was only a matter of time when female artists would make their presence known within the Internet’s public space and tackle the dominant position of the male gaze.
