Exhibition display: Ivana Resić Šore
„Ivana Resić Šore belongs to the generation of young female artists who, through their work, look into gender stereotypes, especially ones defining the role of a woman in contemporary (Croatian) society. She takes basically a post-feminist attitude in refusal of declared feminism, but focusing on the individuality of woman's choice, her right to subjective approach, the questions of femininity etc. Always starting from her own experience, she questions the roles ascribed to women, and through cathartic process places herself, a young contemporary woman, into certain context…
