Ivana Ivković (1979, Belgrade) gained international recognition by shifting the infamous classical roles between men and women in her drawings, performances and site-specific works. The notion of identity and gendered experience plays a key role in her work.
Ivković examines gender roles between men and women in her art using the naked or semi- naked male body as a performative instrument within her orchestrated scenes or tableau vivant. Exposed in different relations within the exhibition space and with minimalistic choreography, the male body in Ivana’s performances becomes simply a medium, a channel of sensitivity, vulnerability, discomfort and sensuality.
Evolving between personal history and transitory memories, Ivana’s artistic practice encompasses a wide range of media through which she creates site-specific interventions and distinctively remarkable environments in the exhibition space. Ivana’s work is primarily associated with the medium of drawings.These reveal the technical, expressive and interpretive potential in its flexible boundaries through the articulation of conceptual and thematic contents that are in the focus of the author’s research: ranging from personal reflections, intimate stories and immediate surroundings to various phenomena of global socio-political context resulting from the artist’s frequented dislocation through travel and nomadic way of life.
Whether they are staying as the two-dimensional play of lines and shapes, or they are monumentalized and build for a certain space, all of Ivana’s work is, above all, connected through associativity of the scenes, complex symbolic meanings of chosen motifs, subtle and poetic but at the same time a very strong statement. Distinctive and individual creative process which Ivana constantly builds in the drawing and then further develops through work with other carefully chosen media (photography, ambient and site-specific installations, textile and luminous objects, performances and orchestrated scenes) most accurately can be understood as a reflection of a specific sensibility and perception of the world. This process of reflection in the author’s search for personal and artistic identity faces and deeply permeates intimate narratives and autobiographical references with the socio-political realities of space and environments from North and Latin America, through Africa and Europe to the Middle East.
