Marina Marković

Marina Marković (Belgrade, 1983) has a corporeal practice as the very focus of her oeuvre, that ranges from dealing with personal experiences to considering complex social issues concerning women’s bodies. The experience of anorexia in her early youth, determined the direction of the artist’s work towards the politics of the body, (de)construction of gender and sexuality and the economics of desire. It exposes the network of power relations in which the questions of coercion and free will are intertwined so densely that they cannot be mutually distinguished. She finished her BFA studies in 2008, at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade, where she is currently enrolled in the PhD programme at the Department for New Media. She participated in a number of artist-in-residence programmes, including the ISCP (The International Studio & Curatorial Program) in New York and Q21 – MuseumsQuartier in Vienna. She received a number of significant awards and accolades, including the Young Visual Artist “Dimitrije Bašičević Mangelos” Award for 2011 and the Drawing Award given by the “Vladimir Veličković” Foundation for 2021. Since 2006, she has exhibited her works regularly at solo and group exhibitions in Serbia and abroad.
Her recent solo exhibitions include The Arrangements, Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade (2024); Ambiguous Flesh, New Gallery of Visual Arts (NGVU), Podgorica (2023), and The Arrangement, Contemporary Gallery Subotica, Subotica (2022). She also participated in group exhibitions, including The End Of Patriarchy, Kunstverein Augsburg, Augsburg (2024); House of Inciting Passion, Vienna Art Week, Vienna (2023); Games, Planes and Soft Openings, Galerie Ernest Hilger, Vienna (2023); Secondary Archive, Manifesta 14 Biennial, Priština (2022); Menstrualities, Alte Münze, Berlin (2022); I’ve Seen The Future Baby, It’s Sexy, ŠKUC Gallery, Ljubljana (2022); Umetnost Anti-Rata (Art of Anti-War), Historical Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo (2021), and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, White Box Gallery, New York (2020).
