Tatjana Macic
Tatjana Macić is a visual artist, writer and researcher from a country that does not exist any more. By merging the ethereal and the theoretical, she blurs the boundaries between visual art, exhibition-making, education and language.
She is currently teaching Artistic Research at the Bachelor Fine Arts and tutoring the Exhibition Research Lab at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague.
Her practice resembles the alchemical laboratory, and research manifests in lecture performances, installations with found objects, artistic archives, interventions, collages and digital art. In her writing practice, she explores hidden power structures, the voice, science fiction and the image in the expanded context of language, body and space. Her work was shown at W139, the Tate Modern, the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Venice Biennale Collateral Events, The Wrong Biennale, KunstVlaai and de Appel in Amsterdam.
Macić founded Urgent Matters / Srettam Tnegru - an initiative for art and research that questions conditions for artistic practice and critical thinking; and Leftovers initiative - a call to action for research and reflection upon the sustainability of exhibition-making in terms of materials and discourses.
Received a BA in art from ArtEZ University of the Arts, and an MA, with honours, in Theory and History of Contemporary Art from the University of Amsterdam.
