Umetnički projekat “Transformacije” je nastao kao inicijativa
okupljanja internacionalnih autora iz Evrope i Srbije u nastojanju da se mlada likovna scena Zapadne i Istocne Evrope angažuje
oko zajedničke razmene iskustava i umetničkih praksi koja ima
cilj edukaciju i promovisanje savremene umetnosti.Sam projekat “Transformacije” je nastavak na saradnji domaćeg autora
Predraga Popare i Italijanskog slikara Roberta Coda Zabette
koji je napravio prve znacajne korake ka zblizavanju Italijanske
moderne umetnosti i srpske savremene scene.Pokretanjem
i osnivanjem umetničke asocijacije “Funnel” kao svojevrsne
platforme koja ima za cilj razmenu iskustava i rad na razvoju
saradnje izmedje zemalja koje nas okružuju jos jednom dolazi
do inicijative samih autora koji se okupljaju oko ovog udruzenja
da doprinesu razvoju nove i dinamičnije razmene ideja u oblasti
savremene umetnosti danas.
PREDRAGPOPARA
Projekat “Transformacije” istrazuje specificni fenomen agresije
koji svojim prisustvom kroz različite medije postaje svakodnevnica zivota savremenog čoveka gde pomerajući granice tolerancije
poprima oblik normalnosti koja biva prihvacena bez moralne
osude.Taj fenomen transformacije drustva i njegovo menjanje
moralnog kodeksa neminovno donosi promene koje se obično
odražavaju u dva smera.Jednim delom agresija podstiče stvaranje i zelju ka progresu a u drugim delom otupljuje čula i stvara jos
veću agresiju bez nade u povratak.Kao takva transformacija je
i rekcija na opstanak po svaku cenu iako humanost kao glavna
osobina coveka prestaje da postoji.
Zato se i agresija moze posmatrati kao vrhunsko umetničko
delo jer savremeni svet ima podjednake težnje ka progresu i
samodestrukciji.

BOGDANVLAduTA
Bogdan Vladuta 1971, Bucharest. Likening himself to an archeologist, Bogdan Vlădută creates drawings, photographs,
and paintings that reveal the relics, both human and manmade, of Romania’s Communist past. Known for his portraits and cityscapes in a grim palette of grays and browns,
Vlădută’s figures wear the past on their weary faces. The artist draws metaphorical connections between living figures
and skulls, between the black buildings in his cityscapes of Bucharest and the rows of caskets in the series “Empty Coffin”.
Bogdan Vladuta has a PhD thesis with the lanscape of Rome’s
topic. He has also been a lecturer at the University of Fine Arts
in Bucharest, until 2009. For instance, he is interested to develop
his latest artistic subject around the memory and the past.

ALESSIOMAXIMILIANSCHRODER
Alessio Maximilian Schroder was born in Rome (Italy) in 1985. He moved
to Austria in 2004, initially studying philosophy and Slavic philology at the
University of Vienna, then photography at the Fotoschule Wien until 2008.
During this period his works were primarily concerned with social and political subjects in Eastern Europe, particulary in Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia.
In 2009 he moved to Belgrade (Serbia) where he pursued the project Blokovi
that explored both social and spatial patterns of the district Novi Beograd, the
most ambitious urbanisation project carried out in ex-Yugoslavia. After receiving his Master’s degree in Photojournalism from the Institute of Photography (ISFCI) in Rome in 2010, Schroder embarked on a photographic study of
the district Neve Sha’anan in Tel Aviv (Israel), focusing on social issues such as
immigration, drug addiction and prostitution. From the experience of Corputrip (2011), the travelling exhibition around Europe by Luca Donnini, and his
first trips to India followed the photo series Exposed (2011-2013): a personal photographic research into the liminal nature of the body and the image,
marked by a critical reflection on the role of photography in contemporary
media environment. Based again in Vienna at this time, he critically elaborated on the cultural context of the Austrian capital. This resulted in the series
Hana (2012), an intimate and personal portrait of a Polish woman living on
the fringes of Viennese society. However, the commercialisation of sexuality
as a metaphor for the social relations observed in Vienna was deeply depicted
in Porne (2010-2013), a portrait series of Viennese sex workers. His work has
been published internationally and shown in Europe, Middle East and India.
He is currently living and working in Kolkata (India).
