The Interart Triade Foundation and Attila KIM • architects, in collaboration with Bel Art Gallery Novi Sad, extend a special invitation to witness the remarkable evolution of Serbian sculpture from the turn of the century. This unprecedented journey unfolds within the captivating setting of the "after SCULPTURE/SCULPTURE after" project at Cazarma U Timișoara, showcasing the artistic brilliance of 25 serbia artists. For an entire month, from July 24th to August 24th, 2023, the exhibition spaces at Cazarma U will serve as a gateway to new perspectives on sculpture, hosting the exhibition UNTITLED. SCULPTURE after SCULPTURE. Serbian Sculpture Exhibition, curated by Sava Stepanov.
„During the second half of the previous century, sculpture in Serbia, just as it happened in the European and world artistic destinations, found its firm foothold in the social circumstances of that period. Then, especially in the times after the end of the world wars, its basic feature was a solid and coherent form, because the art of that time tended to affirm the social efforts and progressive achievements of that time. However, at the very end of the twentieth century, during the fatal nineties, a significant change occurs. Geo-political divisions in the world are becoming more and more visible, and Yugoslav society entered an epochal crisis period when destructive tendencies overrode and cancelled every form of constructive behaviour and thinking. The solid form disintegrates, fragments; and instead of a complete form, installations appear; there is a mixture of different materials within one piece, and the conceptual considerations that dematerialize the being of (classical) sculpture and the whole form are intensified. After the year 2000, strong transition processes took place within the art itself. A strong progression towards new technologies was established, and new visual systems greatly influence the new constitution of sculpture and its being. Today's "Sculpture-after Sculpture" no longer insists on the power of a coherent form that conveyed the idea and ideal of permanence, but more and more clearly announces man's feeling of insecurity, frailness and fragility; it even becomes the harbinger of an uncertain future.”- Sava Stepanov.
