Join us for the launch of Lexicon of Tanjas Ostojić (2011-17), a publication based on an interdisciplinary participatory project by the Serbian artist Tanja Ostojić that included academic and artistic research, five creative workshops, a number of public events, one group performance, and two exhibitions involving a network of women from around the world all named Tanja Ostojić.
The launch will include contributions from Tanja Ostojić, the writer and curator Adrian Heathfield, the curator and writer Alessandra Cianetti of performingborders, and Teresa Albor from the art collective GRACE.
Lexicon of Tanjas Ostojić is published by Live Art Development Agency and Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rijeka, 2018
Tanja Ostojić is an extraordinary and influential Berlin-based, Serbian artist who, since 1994, has created research-led, performative projects that engage with issues of gender politics and feminism, of migration and displacement, and of labour. Lexicon of Tanjas Ostojić brings these strands of her practice together in a multi-disciplinary, process-based, transnational project from a network of women around the world all named Tanja Ostojić
