MARINA MARKOVIC / RS

Marina Markovic was born in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1983. She earned her B.A. and M.A. in painting from the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade. MM is currently pursuing her Ph.D. in New Media at the University of Belgrade. Since 2006 she has exhibited extensively at various festivals, art fairs, group and solo exhibitions throughout Serbia, the United States, Great Britain, Japan, Italy, Mexico and beyond. She participated in artist-in-residence programs at ISCP in New York, ZETA in Tirana and Q21 – MuseumsQuartier in Vienna. Marina Markovic lives and works in New York and Belgrade. Body and embodiment are the central motives of her artistic practice, which spans from dealing with the personal experiences to the consideration of complex social questions posed in relation to the woman’s body. Throughout her artistic practice, she tries to unveil various socio-political mechanisms of pressure, that is, the biopolitical imperative imposed on women by the heteropatriarchy, pointing to the extent to which the issues of freedom and coercion for a woman are inseparable.
