The exhibition Heroines of The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection will open on Friday, February 10th at 1 PM, in the Central Club of the Serbian Army, in cooperation with the Media Centre “Odbrana”. The exhibition by the curators prof. Milanka Todić, Milana Kvas MA and Valentina Vuković PhD was first opened to the public as a programme of the “Novi Sad – European Capital of Culture” Foundation (20 May – 31 July 2022). The Memorial Collection presents a unique, internationally recognized legacy and its collection which is composed of one quarter of the artworks belonging to women artists. Pavle Beljanski’s collection contains pieces by seven artists: Nadežda Petrović, Vidosava Kovačević, Zora Petrović, Ljubica Sokić, Leposava St. Pavlović, Liza Križanić and Milica Zorić. The exhibition of the Central Club of the Serbian Army is a selection of artworks created by the aforementioned female artists. A special segment includes seven video presentations dedicated to each artist. Their art served as an inspiration for the presentation entitled “Identifications: Subtlety and Cruelty” by the art historian Suzana Vuksanović MA that introduces seven contemporary female artists whose biographies are closely related to Novi Sad: Monika Sigeti, Jelena Vladušić, Jelena Janev, Jelena Kovačević Vorgučin, Milica Dukić, Bojana Knežević and Dragana B. Stevanović. This establishes a dialogue between the artworks from the collection and the art of the contemporary Novi Sad female artists thus creating the possibility to compare the themes and issues related to female art then and now. During the exhibition Heroines of The Pavle Beljanski Memorial Collection in the Central Club of the Serbian Army in Belgrade (10 February – 8 April), there will be an accompanying programme that involves authorial and curatorial lectures.
