UNDER THE SKIES OF NOVI SAD
performance art
Aleksandar Jovanović (Serbia)

.................................................................................

To show the earthly and heavenly world with an object shaped as a wooden two-faced cross is what the performance Under the Skies of Novi Sadaspires to do. The first face is a mirror inscribed with upside down messages referring to the earthly world; on the reverse side of the mirror is the place for the other face or the heavenly world.    

Aleksandar Jovanović (1962) is a conceptual artist. During the Yugoslav embargo of 1990s, he published a magazine ‘Cage’ as a form of protest against the cultural blockade in particular, and between 1992 and 1995 he organised artistic anti-embargo actions (Belgrade, Novi Sad, Odžaci), exhibitions of supplements published in his magazine (Wichte/Belgium, Dallas/USA, Tokyo/Japan, Belgrade and Novi Sad/Yugoslavia), international anti-embargo projects ‘The Networkers’ Spirit’ and ‘Unblockade Book’. In his latest artistic project he brings closer and affirms Orthodox Christian learning. He has participated in 1st International Biennale of Youth in Vršac. He lives and works in Odžaci.
