On cosmogony: approaching the unknowable
origin
Abstract:
Exploring the intersection of art, science and
humanities, Katarina Petrovic's work focuses on the notions of
creation, origin and self-organization. Her interest in the
nature of creation, the one found in the artistic process, language,
physics, mythologies and symbolic order generally, has led her to
create several artworks that go back to the essential contradictions
of human thought and question the existence of an isolated event, a
closed system that the notion of Origin seems to
imply.
With a set of concrete practices and mediums,
the quest for unraveling the unknowable Origin becomes an act of
creating; a specific cosmogram weaving together the knowledge of
different disciplines. The talk will present you with her recent
works Lexicon Liber Novus, Cosmologicus and the current research and
prototype work The Collection of Nothing: The World, developed as part
of the Summer Sessions artist in residence program, co-produced by V2_
Lab for the Unstable Media and MoTA in Ljubljana, with support of the
Creative Industries Fund NL.
Katarina holds a MMus degree from ArtScience
Interfaculty, Royal Conservatoire and Royal Academy of Arts in The
Hague, and an MFA equivalent from the Academy of Fine Arts in
Belgrade. As a bursary of the French government, she also
attended Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris. A
co-founder of an association and podcast Femkanje, Katarina is active
as a journalist and a radio host. She is an indicator and author
of the ArtScience Forum & research initiative together with Luke
Boorman and a member of artist associations ULUS, Serbia and Stroom
Den Haag.
