The Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro is pleased to announce the exhibition of Vladan Radovanović (1932–2023), composer and multimedia artist whose work holds a unique place in the history of Yugoslav and European avant-garde. The exhibition will open on Thursday, September 11, at 7 PM, in the MSUCG Gallery.

Over seven decades of continuous work, Radovanović created an opus that unites music, poetry, visual forms, new media, and technology, developing his own concepts such as vocovisual, tactizone, projectism, and especially synthetic art. His practice anticipated key currents of the global avant-garde, establishing him as one of the pioneers of performance, action, conceptual, and new media art in our region.

Curator Teodora Nikčević emphasizes that every new presentation of his work, such as the exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro, not only contributes to introducing the local audience to his opus but also reveals the connections with parallel practices of international artists and relevant artistic movements, confirming just how much ahead of his time he was.

Curator Saša Janjić, in the catalogue accompanying the exhibition, points out that Vladan Radovanović left behind a vast body of artistic and theoretical works:

“A body that represents one of the most unusual, intriguing, and authentic wholes not only of Serbian but also of global modern art. It is time to remind the public of his work, but also to attempt to grasp his intellectual and spiritual legacy.”

The exhibition at MSUCG offers an opportunity for the local audience to be reminded of the richness and importance of Vladan Radovanović’s creative output, whose visionary practice left a profound mark on contemporary art.
