YAY GALLERY PRESENTS SOLO EXHIBITION BY DEJAN KALUDJEROVIĆ: CONVERSATIONS – AZERBAIJAN

27 Nov - 19 Jan 15

YAY Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by artist Dejan Kaludjerović, who lives and works in Austria.

Dejan Kaludjerović was born in Belgrade, ex - Yugoslavia. For his achievements in the visual arts, he has been granted honorary Austrian citizenship. He studied in the class of Erwin Wurm at the Academy of Applied Arts, also in Vienna, and gained an MA in Visual Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade in 2004.

Since the beginning of his career in Belgrade in the mid-1990s, Dejan has been exploring the relationship between consumerism and childhood, and analyzing identity formation and the reliability of representational forms. Most of his paintings, drawings, objects, videos and installations employ the processes of recycling, copying and re-enacting, thus creating patterns that simulate mechanical reproduction, and criticise the homogeneity embedded in popular culture.

Kaludjerović's work is part of many private and public collections, including, among others, the MUSA, Kontakt and STRABAG collections as well as those of the Artothek des Bundes in Vienna, the Salzburg Museum der Moderne, the October Salon Collection, City Museum Belgrade and APT Berlin.


This project was supported and produced in collaboration with the The State Oil Company of the Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) and Embassy of Austria in Baku, Azerbaijan.


He has exhibited internationally at numerous solo and group shows in Europe, USA, Australia and Asia: Artium Museum, Spain; Kunstlerhaus Vienna; Santa Maria delle Croci Ravenna (solo); Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade (solo); 1st and 4th Beijing International Art Bienniale; CAC, Vilnius, Museum of Contemporary Art, Vojvodina; Cittadellarte - Fondazione Pistoletto, Italy; Essl Museum (solo); Tokyo Wonder- site – Institute of Contemporary Arts; Kunstpavillion Innsbruck; 28th International Biennial of Graphic Art, Ljubljana; Kunsthalle Krems; 43rd, 44th, 45th, 46th and 55th International October Salon Belgrade; Museum of Modern Art Saint-Etienne; 2nd Bucharest Biennial of Youndg Artists; Landesgalerie Linz am OÖ Landesmuseum, Linz; Prague Quadriennail and Manifesta 4 (archive project), Frankfurt, Germany.

Kaludjerović has taken part in the Sazmanab Contemporary Art Centre Residency, Teheran, for 2015 and YARAT Residency, Baku, Azerbaijan for 2014. He won the 55th October Salon Award, Belgrade, 2014, and 'o Atelier' Tokyo for 2011 (Studio and traveling fellowship of 6 months provided by Bundesministerium für Unterricht, Kunst und Kultur). Dejan was awarded the CEC Artslink Scholarship for 2008, which included a residency at the Santa Monica 18th Street Art Centre in the USA as well as the Unidee residency in Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, Italy, in 2005, and a three-month Kultur Kontakt Austria residency in Vienna in 2002.
