Chifte Hamam Hosts North Macedonia's Venice Biennale Showcase

The Macedonian pavilion at the 60th International Art Exhibition at the 2024 Venice Biennale is set to open at the National Gallery’s Chifte Hamam Gallery to showcase the transmedial and transnarrative project INTER SPEM ET METUM (Between Hope and Fear) by artist Slavica Janeshlieva, CE Report quotes MIA.

Slavica Janeshlieva's INTER SPEM ET METUM represents a visually cleansed and conceptually envisaged spatial installation, which casts us into the civilizational debris in a rather sensitive and imaginative manner.

"Through multidimensional media platforms and materials, such as feathers, LED neon signs, projections, and mirrors, Janeshlieva launches us into several conceptual-narrative matrices, where she urges us to face the feeling of being a stranger, the one present everywhere: in me, in you, in them, in us. Namely, she challenges us with acceptance or non-acceptance of the distinct labels from the ones familiar and ordinary to the masses; encompassing differences based on gender, sexual orientation, appearance, demeanour, attitude, illness, nationality, religion, language, political orientation…," said the National Gallery.

The showcase at the Chifte Hamam Gallery will run through July 31. Ana Frangovska is the curator of the project.
