Tanja Ostojić's Aesthetics of Affect and Post-Identity Explored in ARTMargins Online Series
ARTMargins Online launched a series examining new critical approaches to art from East-Central Europe in September 2009. The inaugural essay focuses on Serbian artist Tanja Ostojić, whose decade-long practice interrogates identity, power relations, and their manifestations across political, cultural, and artistic spheres. Her diverse body of work includes performances where she coated her nude form with marble dust and stood in gallery spaces. Another notable piece referenced is titled 'I’ll Be Your Angel.' The series, edited by Bojana Videkanic from Toronto, aims to provide fresh analytical perspectives on regional art practices.
