The author of the exhibition entitled “The Quarantine Diary” is Aleksandar Glibetić. Below find the virtual exhibition, detailed catalogue of his artworks. Read and listen to our talk about the exhibition, artworks, but also art, creativity in coronavirus era.
“Isolation separates us, but also allows us to go deeply into the essence of life, existence and circumstances in which we are,” Miljana Dunđerin says, the catalogue reviewer and the director of Aquarius.
She quoted Jean Auguste: Bravely confront to all. Do not concern yourself with other people. Concern yourself with your own work. It is artist’s responsibility, because the art is not only a profession, but also an apostolic. All these efforts are being rewarded sooner or later.
“He is the artist who believed that he would be rewarded and that after many days of darkness light comes,” she adds.
“It is what may be an explanation of phenomena throughout history and that artists are creating in this moment, in the most difficult circumstances,” Dunđerin says.
“In his works and drawings Aleksandar Glibetić gives us the gray lines of physical moment of quarantine and shows how it looks when a free artist is deprived of his freedom,” she says.
