FotodokumentI 02
Izložba Fotodokumenti 02 predstavlja jedan mogući uvid u zbivanja na ovdašnjoj vibrantnoj fotografskoj sceni, njene aktere, njihovu produkciju i odgovore na neka aktuelna kretanja u domenu savremene fotografije. Raznovrsnost prezentovanih pristupa i poetika, okvir je za prepoznavanje šireg poimanja fotografije danas i vitalnosti koju poseduje. Otkrivanje njenih brojnih mogućnosti u radovima izabranih autora polazište je za ono što bismo u najkraćem mogli opisati i definisati kao kompleksna vizuelna sociološka i antropološka istraživanja. Dokumentarnost u njihovom slučaju ostaje još jedno polje u kojem se vrlo otvoreno problematizuju i preispituju i sam medij dokumentarne fotografije i moć fotografske slike, njene implikacije, značaj i uticaj u predominantno vizuelnom okruženju. U celini izložba predstavlja refleksiju perzistentnih nastojanja umetnika u iznalaženju novih iskaza o fotografiji, njenoj funkciji kao dokumenta ali i kao procesa kroz koji se saznaju, otkrivaju i promišljaju sve manifestacije sveta i svakodnevnog života. Predavanja, panel diskusije, razgovori sa umetnicima, prezentacije muzejskih fotografskih arhiva i aktivnosti centara za fotografiju, planirani za ovu priliku nastavak su šireg razmatranja problematike fotografskog medija i podsticaj struci za dalje bavljenje fotografijom i njenim relacijama sa različitim kontekstima u kojima nastaje, u kojima se primenjuje i interpretira.

Photodocuments 02
The exhibition Photodocuments 02 represents one possible insight into happenings on the local, otherwise vibrant photographic scene, its protagonists, their production and answers to some current movements in the domain of contemporary photography. The diversity of presented approaches and poetics is a framework for recognizing a broader conception of photography today and the vitality it possesses. Revealing of its numerous possibilities in the works of the selected authors is the starting point for what we could most concisely describe and define as complex visual sociological and anthropological researches. The documentary quality in their case remains yet another field in which, very openly, the very medium of documentary photography and the power of documentary picture are being problematized and reexamined, as well as its implications, significance and influence in predominantly visual surroundings. In its whole, the exhibition represents reflection of persistent artists’ endeavors to find new statements on photography, its function as a document but also as a process through which all manifestations of the world and everyday life are ascertained, revealed and considered. The lectures, panel discussions, conversations with the artists, presentations of museum photography archives and the activities of founded centers for photography, planned for this occasion, are a continuation of a broader deliberation on the problematics of the medium of photography and an incentive to the profession for further dealing with photography and its relations with different contexts in which it originates, in which it is being applied and interpreted.

Photodocuments, Art Gallery Požega, 2010
Art Gallery Požega (Cultural Centre of Požega)
10 December 2010 - 21 January 2011

Artists: Mihаilo Vаsiljević, Dušicа Drаžić, Gorаn Micevski,
Ivаn Petrović, Kаtаrinа Rаdović
Curators: Miroslаv Kаrić i Slađanа Petrović Vаrаgić

The exhibition Photodocuments consists of photographic works/projects by five artists of younger generation, and presents a variety of approaches and practices in photography as a medium. Ivan Petrović, Goran Micevski, Katarina Radović, Mihailo Vasiljević and Dušica Dražić base their work on a consistent research into the boundaries of the medium itself, its genre definitions, technical possibilities and potentials as a transmitter of ideas. In the current exhibition the authors are using various ways to problematize the aspect and/or the issue of the documentary in photography: through reinterpretation of amateur photographic records, the complex visual exploration of certain social groups or social phenomena, re-examination of the relations between narrative, text and photographic image, as well as the use of site-specific interventions. The invariable quality of the presented artists’ opuses lies in their dedication to research, analysis, attending to theoretical discourse, and acting in other related artistic forms. Venues: Art Gallery Požega (Cultural Centre of Požega), Railway Museum of Serbia – Department of Narrow Tracks, Požega, Liberty Square in Požega and other locations.
