Brutal Tenderness Press:

“Brutal Tenderness” is the first exhibition in the new exhibition cycle “Dialogues,” whose aim is to bring together seemingly different artistic worlds: official, mainstream, and academic art, and the world of marginal, outsider, and art brut practices. The exhibition is curated by Senka Latinović.

Through the juxtaposition of works by outsider artist Katie Woznicki and academically trained artist Edita Kadirić, the exhibition explored what emerges from that encounter. The psychedelic visions of Katie Woznicki and the tactile fragility of Edita Kadirić, despite differences in process, technique, and motif, share a common force of uncompromising exposure.

Without any intention of beautifying their own inner turmoil and reflections, they reveal painful points: personal, female, social — places of discomfort and maladjustment.

Tenderness is the need to share that experience with others — to express feelings of one’s own loneliness and lostness, but also to lessen those same feelings in an unknown individual through the realization that there is another person who notices, feels, and passes through the same states.

Brutalna nežnost“ je prva izložba u novom izlagačkom ciklusu „Dijalozi“, koji za cilj ima susrete naizgled različitih umetničkih svetova: zvanične, mejnstrim i akademske umetnosti, i sveta marginalne, autsajderske i art brut umetnosti. Kustoskinja izložbe je Senka Latinović. Kroz upoređivanje radova autsajderske umetnice (Kejti Voznicki) i akademski školovane umetnice (Edita Kadirić), izložba je istražila šta nastaje iz tog spoja. Psihodelične vizije Kejti Voznicki i taktilna krhkost Edite Kadirić, pored razlika u postupku, tehnici i motivu, nose zajedničku snagu beskompromisnog ogoljavanja. Bez namere da ulepšaju sopstvena unutrašnja previranja i razmišljanja, one nam pokazuju bolna mesta: lična, ženska, društvena, mesta nelagode i neprilagođenosti. Nežnost je potreba da se to iskustvo podeli sa drugima – da se izraze osećanja sopstvene usamljenosti i izgubljenosti, ali i da se ista ta osećanja nekog nama nepoznatog pojedinca umanje kroz spoznaju da postoji i drugi koji primećuje, oseća i prolazi kroz ista stanja.
