Minister of Culture Nikola Selaković today opened the “Serbia” Pavilion at the 61st International Art Exhibition at the Venice Biennale, where Serbia is represented by the exhibition “From Golgotha to Resurrection” by artist Predrag Đaković.
Selaković explained on that occasion that the exhibition “From Golgotha to Resurrection”, by artist Predrag Đaković and curator Tomaš Koudela, responds to the theme defined by the Biennale’s artistic director Koyo Kouoh, “In Minor Keys”, through individual experience, collective memory and universal human destiny.
Đaković, as he pointed out, with his visual representations, silent and strong testimonies, questions the relationship between history and identity, and confronts us with the processes in which man is shaped and reshaped by the forces of history.
Selaković invited visitors to visit the exhibition, which testifies to the fact that art is aware of its own responsibility in dealing with the most difficult issues of our time.
Đaković will present a cycle of works that question the relationship between history and identity, raising the question of how an individual survives under the pressure of the past and ideology.
The exhibition in the “Serbia” Pavilion is conceived as a “space of silence”, that is, an environment in which the observer enters into a dialogue with his own memory, fears and responsibility.
