GORDANA
VRENCOSKA, Correspondence, exhibition
24.12.2003, Cultural Center Tocka |
The
crucial element in the latest project of Gordana Vrencoska
"Correspondence" in communication - information exchange,
as indicated in the title.
Hereby, the correspondence, displayed in several parts (rooms), is
observed through its negative aspect, as a strictly business process
without any dialogue, as a linear emission of information. Unlike
the previous projects, where personal questions are targeted, the
author takes the role of a catalyst for the collective messaging. |

The
"Postcards", through which the message
deconstruction is performed, point on the strategies of
loosing the individuality in global and local frames through
the complex mechanisms of "inter-cultures" and
"collective myths": the production of the sense,
forms of its exchange and consumption, values, knowledge...
This presentation is based on quotations, editing, collage,
simulation; abundant in subordinate objects-symbols, iconic
and par-iconic signs and metaphoric, and the highlighted
pop-artistic formal solutions (assemblage, ready-made) are
acting as critic of the consumer-ism. Considering the
pop-art basics on promotion, also the critics of
mass-approach on signs of the consumer's products and
national symbols, in these post-pop-art pieces she marks
their shattered sense in the social exchange of values and
ideologies; the seduction of the totalitarian item fetishism
and Baudrillard's hypermarket, and along with it "zero
point of the sense (the commercial)" are deconstructed
through acute irony; and at last, we encounter an emphasis
on the search (tailoring, forming) for lost identity and the
human function in society.
Gordana Vrencoska, in this complex project, expresses her
own criticism on the global and the local. The logic, still
containing the form, yet sense-less, gains a form of
absurdity, because "there is no hope for the sense...
the sense is mortal... delusions are immortal... ".
"Correspondence" is a reflection on her concern
against the losing signals of individual creativity in the
world.
