This Wednesday, 22 July, U10 Art Space (and its lovers) will have the chance to witness a contest between Martin Džorlev and his grandfather’s guitar — who remembers more summers, and who will more gently evoke the fragility of memory. Through voice and guitar strings will pass all the attempts at survival of one man, or one guitar. Martin Džorlev is a (still) young musician, writer, student, and a son from Skopje.

The Chosen YU platform presents the exhibition Docile Bodies at U10 Art Space in Belgrade from 21 to 26 July, as part of the Podium project. The exhibition builds upon the project of the Working Group for the Program, which functions as a space for gathering, self-organization, independent production, and collaborative work among emerging artists.

As a network of social relations, power shapes the ways we internalize norms, construct identity, and define the boundaries of possible action. The works presented in the exhibition approach power relations as processes established through media, the body, everyday rituals, and political structures. The thematic segment Power Relations, within which the exhibition is presented, explores the ways authority becomes naturalized and internalized, how mechanisms of discipline…
