With Untitled (after), the Kunsthalle Münster is showing the first institutional solo exhibition by Jelena Bulajić in Germany, providing an overview of the Serbian artist's work. Bulajić's works are tools for exploring the mediated view of the world, speculations on the dimensions of reality. They have their own logic of showing and revealing, emerging from an intensive preoccupation with the pictorial, its conditions and possibilities.
The exhibition brings together various groups of works by the artist, including new works created for the presentation in the Kunsthalle and, for the first time, sculptures. The juxtaposition of the different works, the play with figuration and abstraction, presents a concept of image-making and calls for an examination of one's own perception. At a time when we are constantly surrounded by digital images and confronted with the same reception via the screen, Bulajić uses the conditions of painting and sculpture to see. In doing so, an examination of what we call images seems particularly important to her, especially against the backdrop of the omnipresent flood of images. It is about training the senses. Her play with reality requires concentration, a close look and questioning of what we see.
Jelena Bulajić was born in 1990 in Vrbas, Serbia; she lives and works in Belgrade, Serbia and Herceg Novi, Montenegro. Her works have been shown in numerous international solo and group exhibitions: Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade (2024), carlier | gebauer, Madrid (2024), Dots Gallery, Belgrade (2023), Museum of Contemporary Art of Vojvodina, Novi Sad (2019), The Saatchi Gallery, London (2016), Workshop, London (2016). Among the awards she has received are the GAM MA Fine Art Prize, City & Guilds of London Art School (2013), the Niš Art Foundation Award (2013), the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation Grant (2012) and the Grand Diploma for Drawing, XIV INTERBIFEP (2011).
