We continue our introduction of the artists in “Brieftopia: Art Between Crisis and Imagination” with the Serbian artist Luka Cvetković.
Luka Cvetković is an artist working across video, performance, text, and publishing.
His practice challenges dominant subjectivities and power dynamics within and beyond art, engaging aesthetics, philosophy, and politics.
Cvetković has exhibited across Europe, received multiple awards, and was a special lecturer at UAL (2021).
Based in Belgrade, he co-runs the Identity Crisis Network , a research project connecting artistic practices and discourses that de-stabilize fixed notions of identity and subjectivity.
In his installation “Celebrations 2029” for the exhibition in Gabrovo, Luka Cvetković, “reconstructs” the opening of the Gabrovo Biennial in 2029 and invites participants to “remember” imagined future states of the world, interwoven with personal narratives of love, family, success, and loss—raising the question of whether thinking the future is less a practice of prediction than one of memory.
The project is realised with financial support from procedure BG-RRP-11.021, New Generation of Local Cultural Policies for Large Municipalities, Investment Development of Cultural and Creative Sectors, Component Social Inclusion, National Recovery and Resilience Plan.
