In my diploma work I researched postmodernism, conceptons of the new as inovation in art and contens shifts, which have been in place since the second half of the 20th Century. I researched the role of the museum when it comes to the archiving of art, defining the profane and cultural archives and the visitors of the museum and their participation in it. I studied the beginnings of installation art in the Soviet Union, the political conditions that influenced it's beginnings and further manifestations, influenced by changes in the art field in consideration of economical changes and globalisation.
In my art project I made an installation in my studio at Tovarna Rog. The installation consists of wire, fabric and flashlights; it is placed in darkness. I concepted the installation as a private museum, a space of darkness into which only a few people can enter. I outlined the composition and it's webbing as a mutual intertwinement of lines, of covering and uncovering, the diction of shadows and the spectator, who interferes with his own shadow into the installation and vice versa.
In my pedagogical work I present a unification of a conceptual starting point with critisism of consumerism, realized in an installation in the hopes of encouraging students of the first class of highs school, to think about contemporary art and develop a critical attitude towards consummerism.
