	Duo presentation with Maja Babič KoširNADA Villa Warsaw&#38;nbsp;

Villa Gawrońskich, Al. Ujazdowskie 23Warsaw, Poland


16/05 — 19/05/2024

Curating and exhibition design: Piera Ravnikar
Organisation: RAVNIKAR Gallery 
Photographer: Bartosz Gorka

	
NADA Villa Warsaw brought together a diverse selection of 44 international galleries and art spaces from 25 cities to present artists in a collaborative exhibition format, engaging the distinctive character of Villa Gawrońskich, a neo-baroque architectural landmark located in the heart of Warsaw. Organized with Michał Kaczyński (Raster), Marta Kołakowska (LETO Gallery), and Joanna Witek-Lipka (Warsaw Gallery Weekend), the initiative builds on Raster’s series of Villa Projects, an art fair alternative first initiated in Warsaw in 2006, with iterations held in Iceland, Japan, and Canada.
...............................................................................


Over the course of several
years of collaboration, artists Nevena Aleksovski and Maja Babič Košir have
developed a distinctive artistic expression, which they build through
multi-media and in situ spatial interventions. Their latest project, Letters
from the South (2024), is an example of a visually rich narrative that
interweaves aesthetically related creative practices into a unified wall
installation combining drawing, collage, painting, ready-made and sculpture. 


In combining diverse media,
the artists treat the entire exhibition space as a blank canvas, on which they
gradually layer associations and, in a reciprocal dialogue, layer fragments of
stories that condition a more complex narrative. The dynamic and seemingly
effortless collaging of the works is weighed down by individual and collective
memories, commentaries and markers on the past and the present, which the
artists share from their position of women, creators and migrants. Both are
marked by the experience of emigration and the legacy of the former Yugoslavia,
a place that has undergone a radical socio-political transformation in recent
decades; the decline of the socialist system, the rise of neoliberalism,
accompanied by economic and, last but not least, health crises, widespread
insecurity and the radical digitalisation of life. In the context of constantly
changing social circumstances, unstable politics and cultural dynamics, the
artists today explore questions of belonging and a sense of familiarity in
foreign and primary environments, addressing issues of origin and identity. The
very motivation of the work and their understanding of their own roles have
been fundamentally defined by references to women's struggles and women's
positions past and present. In doing so, they adopt a highly engaged stance,
aware of the vulnerability of the position paved by their predecessors for
today's generation of women. The feminine and sensitive aesthetics that
distinguish both artists, behind their apparent fragility, consequently reveal
motives of emancipation and determination behind the artists' gestures. 


The layering character of
the installation, despite the intense interplay of two related aesthetics,
allows the artists to maintain a certain degree of fragmentation and
singularity, fusing their practices into an inseparable whole. They allow
themselves the freedom of close coexistence of two visual expressions, which is
the result of several years of exchange of creative processes, mutual
understanding, trust and intimate immersion in personal archives and family
stories, co-shaped by the socio-political realities of each time. The moment of
sisterhood and solidarity developed through their co-creation imbues the work
with an unconcealed optimism that inspires them with hope, the search for
solutions and freer visions of the future.

	Solo exhibitionRAVNIKAR&#38;nbsp;

Vošnjakova ulica 4Ljubljana, Slovenia
23/11/2023 —&#38;nbsp;05/01/2024
Curator: Ilija Prokopiev
Photographer: Marijo Zupanov

	
In an era marked by profound uncertainties, encompassing pandemics,
natural calamities, and harrowing wars, Nevena Aleksovski's exhibition, Southern, Southern, emerges as an
intuitive response—not to specific events, but to the inherent human tendency
to erect boundaries, discriminate, and exclude. Through the latest works
showcased at RAVNIKAR GALLERY SPACE, Nevena invites us into a unique
experience, immersing us in the dark realm of learned and universally accepted
stereotypical perspectives. Deeply embedded in societal consciousness, these
ingrained views tend to resurface conspicuously with each global conflict,
underscoring their pervasive nature.


My collaboration
with Nevena Aleksovski began when I edited her book project titled
"Melancholy of the Abandoned Lands," published by PrivatePrint in
2022, that tells the migration history of her family during Yugoslavia and
after its dissolvement. Here she introduces us to the weight someone caries when
being a migrant. Having this personal experience, her focal point of artistic
exploration always originates from the concept of migration, a phenomenon that
has shaped human history and societies. Whether voluntary or forced, migration
provokes a negotiation process - a delicate dance between one's roots and the
adopted environment. In general, Aleksovski's work captures the essence of this
negotiation, unveiling the complexity of moderating one's heritage with the adopted
culture, reflecting the interplay between past and present. The artist
intricately tangles together visual elements to convey the dynamic tension
between embracing new environments and retaining connections to one's origins.
This uncomfortable place of being derives from the dissonance between
familiarity and the unfamiliar, between a sense of belonging and alienation. 


Therefore, migration
is one of her most prominent themes, even in her latest production. However,
the exhibition Southern, Southern is
an extension of this concept towards topics addressing the struggles and
prejudices faced by individuals considered 'Others' in a new environment,
urging viewers to reflect on the human cost of exclusion and the significance
of inclusivity in creating a more compassionate society. Or, more precisely,
the confrontation and fight with stereotypes, an essential aspect of the
migration experience.


Southern, Southern as a
title carries an ironic message wrapped in an ambivalent undertone. Conceptualized
as a sentence fragment, Southern,
Southern, suddenly looks like an exclamation said out loud. It might sound
like excitement but also like persecution. When one knows Nevena's art, it is
clear that the symbolism of the South within her works bridges the artist's
personal experiences and the universal aspects of migration. However, in this
exhibition, she addresses the geographical movement from one place to another
and delves deeper into the idea of migration, not as a migrant experience but
as an idea of those who have never had this experience. Since standing on this
comfortable and privileged side of the world's migration history is where the
migration history is invented and is happening. 


Southern
regions, often associated with warmth, vitality, and a distinct cultural
identity, become a metaphorical setting of a place, not merely in terms of
geographical coordinates, but a place of dehumanization of the people from
these regions, reducing them to caricatures or narrow representations that
don't reflect their true diversity and complexity. Therefore, these fetishizing
and harmful imaginations, defined as mysteries, fantasies, and allures, become
comfortable zones for someone's feelings of superiority, hatred, and
xenophobia. Creating an image of the South as an exotic place defined by the
paradisiacal landscapes and rich traditions, still, very present practices in
Western and Northern cultures make a nicely shaped terrain that always makes it
easier to slide back to stereotypes than to learn from the world experience.
This fetish, often referring to regions like Africa, South America, Southeast
Asia, and the Mediterranean region, including the Balkans where Nevena is from,
involves romanticizing or sensationalizing these areas and their cultures. They
become places of meeting the Other, which according to Edward Said, described
in his iconic book Orientalism, are
actually places of fear, shaped by histories, fables, and stereotypes. (Said,
2019) He defines Otherness as a judgment that comes from the experience of
meeting the new as a version of a previously known thing, defining it as a
category of experience that is not much a way of receiving new information as
it is a method of controlling what seems to be a threat to some established
view of things, as the response is always conservative and defensive. (Said,
2019)


Nevena’s new
artworks exhibited in RAVNIKAR GALLERY SPACE, serve as a visual narrative
confronting this paradisiacal representation of the South. As in the previous
works, here, too, through her minimalist method of painting, she keeps the idea
between the old and the new, the familiar and the unfamiliar, consistently
generating dual imagery. Her paintings show simple images of palm trees, a
necklace, or unidentified objects that might be geographical maps or torn
clothes. Combining these elements, Nevena makes us walk through a burned
landscape deeply harmed by a stereotypical view. Her artistic approach unravels
the complexities of these preconceived notions, challenging viewers to confront
the implications and consequences of such pervasive biases. In her paintings we
see objects, like being omitted from a bigger narrative that we cannot see,
however we are still determined to bring a conclusion, that pushes us into a
stereotypical way of thinking, a method through which Nevena confirms the stereotypes,
on purpose, as a strategy in her work. On the other side, in addition to the
paintings, this exhibition comprises an installation consisting of leather
fabrics collected in piles resembling islands or archipelagos that, in their
form, have accumulated the absence of the people and dehumanized lands. All
these symbols are becoming darkened, like burned by the sun, where we see only
shadows of reality, and we cannot perceive it as anything else but terrible. Actually,
it is an image of how the South has been taught by others, as described in Franco
Cassano’s book Southern Thought and Other
Essays on the Mediterranean, as a place without dignity, where the lands’
end and the sea starts, a tourist's paradise, and a mafia nightmare. (Cassano,
2012) 


In contemplating
the exhibition, we are prompted to continuously discourse on the implications
of these stereotypes, recognizing the urgency of dismantling the barriers they
create. Southern, Southern becomes a
compelling call to action, encouraging us to confront the unspoken biases
rooted in our collective consciousness and foster a dialogue that transcends
the boundaries of stereotypes, aiming for a more inclusive and empathetic
global perspective. Additionally, through the multilayered exploration of
migration, negotiations, symbols of mutual understanding, belonging,
discomfort, territory, and Otherness, Nevena reminds us that art is not a place
of fun but an uncomfortable place of existence, a place where artists are
obliged to speak honestly so that viewers can face reality, a place where art
can become an act of protest.&#38;nbsp;

	Solo exhibition
RAVNIKAR&#38;nbsp;

Vošnjakova ulica 4Ljubljana, Slovenia
12/05/2020 —&#38;nbsp;01/06/2020
Curator: Piera Ravnikar
Photographer: Jaka Babnik

	
Artist Nevena Aleksovski weaves expressive fragments of human bodies, vegetation and objects in a multi-sensory visual language. Within a minimalist, stripped-down artistic expression, she explores how to express as much as possible with as few means as possible, each element being a repository of strong emotions and different meanings. The reduction of elements is also a kind of personal rebellion against the information overload of the visual landscape and expresses the need for rest and contemplation. Through the lens of personal, intimate experiences, it reveals a view of social phenomena, and fills the intersection between the two worlds with humour, irony, melancholy, anxiety and alienation.
Exhibition And Then So Clear consists of drawings and paintings, mostly created between the four walls during the quarantine period. The artist's walk through the field of alienation in the time of isolation asks how to further alienate an already alienated person, the importance of touch and what to do without it, and how to touch someone despite the distance. The aesthetic answers consist of alternations and complements of abstract and figurative elements, sometimes joined by colour cut-outs. The simple, simplified images are often playful and humorous, sometimes giving us comfort, at other times acting as a form of rebellion and subversion. The artist balances the seriousness with a reflection on everyday paradoxes, absurdities and the relationships that are established in this context, such as admiring the awakening of nature in spring and the annoying allergy to pollen, enjoying a cigarette and feeling unwell immediately afterwards, the feeling of freedom in solitude and the anxiety of one's own loneliness. Through a stripped-down approach, she tells us a story that is never fully revealed, part of which is also an intervention on the wall and an authorial note that pats us on the shoulder with a comforting - take it easy.

	Group exhibition
Layering
CUKRARNAPoljanski nasip 40Ljubljana, Slovenia
15/11/2024 —13/04/2025
Curators: Mateja Podlesnik, Alenka Trebušak
Photographer: Jaka Babnik

	
Following a series of group exhibition projects focusing on different thematic areas, this exhibition is the first to focus on painting, but also on sculptural practices, in the medium of collage and assemblage. The collage or cut-and-paste technique – whose beginnings and developments date back to the modern era of European art, Cubism and later Dadaism, New Realism, Pop Art, Conceptualism and Postmodernism, through to contemporary multimedia art – has been further developed in physical and pictorial terms by artists in its more monumental form – assemblage – achieving a greater collage effect in the formal architecture of the pictorial field, greater prominence of contents and connections between used elements as well as the possibility of incorporating "outside stuff" in the form of waste material. In this sense, assemblage represents a more complex form of collage.

...


The exhibition Layering includes works by selected Slovenian artists of all generations who have employed these techniques, either as a primary or occasional working method from the late 1970s to the present. It invites reflection on the gap between clear definitions and artistic practice, as it becomes apparent that works that can be clearly categorised as belonging to one technique or another are the exception rather than the rule. Some artists hang their three-dimensional works on the wall instead of placing them in the space, while others position two-dimensional works in the space or even use collages and assemblages to create installations.

Letters From the South (2024-ongoing)
Site specific installation

Artists Nevena Aleksovski and Maja Babič Košir have developed a distinctive artistic language through years of collaboration, building it through multimedia and site-specific spatial interventions. Their recent project, Letters from the South (2024-ongoing), exemplifies a visually rich narrative that intertwines two aesthetically related artistic practices into a unified wall installation, bringing together drawing, collage, painting, ready-made objects, and sculpture.

By combining diverse media, the artists approach the entire exhibition space as a blank canvas upon which they gradually assemble associations and layer fragments of stories through mutual dialogue, constructing increasingly complex narratives. Beneath the dynamic and seemingly effortless process of collage-making lie individual and collective memories, commentaries, and traces of the past and present, shared from the perspective of women, artists, precarious workers, and migrants. Both artists have been shaped by experiences of displacement and by the legacy of former Yugoslavia—a region that has undergone profound socio-political transformations over recent decades, including the decline of socialism, the rise of neoliberalism, economic and public health crises, widespread uncertainty, and the radical digitalization of everyday life.

Within the context of constantly shifting social conditions, unstable political landscapes, and evolving cultural dynamics, the artists explore questions of belonging and the feeling of home in both foreign and familiar environments, addressing issues of origin and identity. The subject matter of their work, as well as their understanding of their own roles, has been profoundly informed by histories of women’s struggles and by the position of women in both past and present societies. Their practice adopts a distinctly engaged stance, grounded in an awareness of the vulnerable positions that previous generations of women navigated and transformed for those who follow. The feminine and sensitive aesthetic characteristic of both artists ultimately reveals, beneath its apparent fragility, themes of emancipation and determination expressed through their gestures and artistic interventions.

Although the installation is based on a process of layering and an intense intertwining of two related visual languages, it allows each artist to retain a degree of fragmentation and individuality, resisting the complete fusion of their practices into an inseparable whole. Instead, they create space for the free coexistence of two visual expressions, the result of years of shared creative processes, mutual understanding, trust, and intimate engagement with personal archives and family histories shaped by specific socio-political realities. The sense of sisterhood and solidarity that has emerged through their collaboration permeates the work with an open optimism, inspiring hope, the search for alternatives, and freer visions of the future.

The artistic duo of Nevena Aleksovski and Maja Babič Košir is united by a shared visual language characterized by a refined and minimalist aesthetic. Their approach is deeply intuitive, and both in their individual and collaborative practices they draw upon personal biographies and lived experiences, which serve as the starting point for their collective research-based and artistic projects.

Curator: Jana Stardelova
Photographer: Jelena Belikj

	
Through the
series of works presented at this exhibition I am dealing with the particular
connection of my family, especially my father, with the mining industry,
specifically copper and gold mine in my hometown Bor (Serbia) – the main reason
why my whole family has emigrated from North Macedonia to Serbia shortly after
World War II. By using archival photos from the period of my father’s employment
at the mining company, drawings on paper and found objects I aim to create intimate
commentary on the issues of family history, complex web of relationships that
have shaped my identity as well as the questions of the impact of resource
extraction on both the environment and community.


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


Excerpt from the exhitibion text by the curator Jana Stardelova:

Who can decide to move and who is forced to stay? Or is it the other way around? As bell hooks writes in Belonging: A Culture of Place: “thinking about place, where we belong, is a constant subject for many of us”. This is particularly true for the artists in Here, but somewhere else,[1] whom I invited to explore the universal human experiences of mobility, movement and belonging through personal stories.

Taking a decentralised approach, the exhibition features the works of seven artists whose practices combine local and regional perspectives. The works of Nevena Aleksovski, Elena Čemerska and Ivana Mirčevska, Ana Čvorović, Andrea Knezović, Ilija Prokopiev and Lenka Đorojević&#38;nbsp;weave together the dynamics of displacement, transnational identities, collectiveness and the ever-shifting belonging of those who traverse borders. Their works explore intimate cartographies of belonging – whether voluntary, forced or imagined, across time. Using eclectic artistic approaches and varied media, the artists took a cue from Aimee Carrillo Rowe’s notion of “differential belonging”,[2] a movement between dissimilar types of belonging that keeps us on our toes and prompts us to deal with the ways in which we are oppressed and privileged. They embarked on a search for belonging that instead of identity politics explores different forms of (co)existence with the intention of being transformed.

The artworks explore the complexities of feeling at home in more than one location. Transnational narratives echo throughout the works, sharing ideas of belonging that transcend borders and connect individuals to multiple spaces and communities. Rather than romanticising the notion of home, they study liminality and “finding a way to make space for our true selves”.[3] Inevitably, vulnerability is woven into personal stories: embracing oneself in the process of adapting to new environments is a journey of its own.

The diversity of diasporic cultures is visible in many of the artworks. Using different strategies, such as auto-ethnography,[4] psychogeography,[5] personal genealogies,[6] the works tell a story of universality that goes beyond the world of binaries. Nevena Aleksovski uses the past as a raw material, converting it into a source of exploration of critical thinking. The personal and the communal intersect in Aleksovski’s work, stories and practices of the past connect to create a more nuanced understanding of the artists’ as well as our shared history.

[4] Here, auto-ethnography is understood as an analytical approach for self-reflection and used as a method to critically examine our experiences within the context of larger social and cultural structures.

[5] Psychogeography is situated as an exploration of the landscape, its characteristics and the ways in which it displays different human psychic states.

[6] Exploring personal genealogies not only provides a deeper understanding of one’s own family journey but also offers insights into societal events and changes that shaped their family’s migration patterns.

	Solo exhibitionechoraum

Drawing series presented at the exhibition titled Tišina (meaning silence in all ex – Yugoslavian languages) was created during the artist Nevena Aleksovski’s stay at Artist-in-residence programme in Vienna supported by the Ministry of Culture of Slovenia. Nevena was visiting various events taking part at echoraum in September 2024 and was creating spontaneous drawings, sketches, visual notes etc. inspired by the live acts, different experimental sound performances, screenings and discursive programmes at echoraum. Through this series of works the artist aimed to translate various impressions from the sound, experimental and theoretical field into her specific visual language and the medium of drawing. She thus created multi-layered, expressive and fragmented visual work which responded to the spectrum of emotional, mental and spiritual states triggered by rich experimental programme at echoraum.

Another aspect of this series of works is also the artist’s reflection of the phenomenon of silence as the integral and constitutional part of each sound and musical performance as well as the huge importance of it in our navigating the experience of sound in general. The artist was therefore interested in the possibilities of translating the experience of silence from the sound into the visual field. By titling the exhibition Tišina which is the word for silence in all of the ex – Yugoslavian languages, the artist is also referring to the existence of huge ex – Yugoslavian diaspora in Vienna as well as to various aspects of the questions of identity, integration and migration experiences. Through this series of work she therefore aimed to create visual narratives that are reflecting physical, emotional, symbolic and socio-political nature of silence.

My Familiar Unfamiliar, edition 3: Home Lands is a third presentation of a
collaborative work of artists Nevena Aleksovski and Maja Babič Košir. Bound by their common
positions of women, artists, migrants, and precarious workers, through their artistic dialogue and minimalist
visual language, the artists are exploring various issues of a contemporary
society. 


This exhibition delves into the concept of
home, homeland, migration, (non)belonging and the fragility of our identities
within these contexts. Through their artistic dialogue artists explore notions
of place, territory, hierarchy, as well as personal and collective memory. Their collaboration aims to shed
light on the complexities surrounding our notions of home and identity,
challenging preconceived notions and inviting viewers to question the dichotomy
between belonging and displacement. 


Within this exhibition, the artists provide a
contemplative examination of fragility. Utilizing various mediums, they explore
the delicate nature of our sense of home, both physical and emotional. Through
their artwork, they examine the vulnerabilities that arise as individuals
navigate issues of migration, displacement, and the ever-changing global
landscape. They
as well challenge conventional notions of homeland, urging viewers to question
the impact of these systems on individuals.
