RENATA POLJAK

YET ANOTHER DEPARTURE

Bačva Gallery, Home of HDLU

May 22 – June 9, 2019

 

Opening of the exhibition: Wednesday, May 22 at 7 pm at the Bačva Gallery (Home of HDLU)

Exhibition Yet Another Departure by Renata Poljak will be opened on Wednesday, May 22 at 7 pm at the Bačva Gallery (Home of HDLU).

Since Poljak often uses documentary and archival materials for production of her works, and also particular phenomena she tries to isolate and transform into complex and intriguing motifs, these two videos are formally and symbolically concerned with the notion of island that the artist aims to examine through understanding of the ontological position of a site in relation to the rest of the world.

Reexamining the historic and superficial remoteness of the sea, the pieces do not rely on a completely fixed narrative but rather unfold in shifting story that pays close attention to the articulation of space with room for contemplation. The location itself equally becomes subject matter.
