OPENING 6PM THURSDAY 3 JUNE Exhibition runs to 3 July: Tues-Fri 11-5, Sat 2-5
GALLERY TALK 4.30PM FRIDAY 4 JUNE


Oliver Musovik's work deals with the theme of urban living and the 
scopes of interactions surrounding it through graphics, video, 
computer prints, and installations. He often uses the residential 
area in Skopje, Macedonia, where he lives, to investigate the 
constructions erected by people, with the gaze of a criminologist. 
The perpetrators themselves are not important for him. He keeps the 
residents out of his documentary photos. Instead, he researches the 
habits of his neighbours with a kind of photography of the scene of 
the crime. Later, Musovik gives the pictures captions in which he 
describes the mood, sketches routines or adds other everyday notes to 
supplement the picture.
Oliver Musovik will be in Adelaide for the installation and launch of 
his work at the EAF.

Macedonian-based Oliver Musovik has had numerous solo exhibitions as 
well as exhibited at major important international exhibitions 
including Manifesta 4 - European Biennial of Contemporary Art, 
Frankfurt am Main 2002 and the 6th International Istanbul Biennial. 
His works are held in major contemporary art collections such as 
World Bank, Washington DC; 2000+ Arteast Collection, Museum of Modern 
Art, Ljubljana, Slovenia and Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje, 
Macedonia.
