Zaneta Vangeli ARCHIVE 1
14th November - 13 December

Archive 1 is a selection of prints and video art from Žaneta Vangeli’s 
prolific practice of twenty-odd years. A multimedia artist, Vangeli 
realises her ideas with paintings, objects, photography, video and 
film. 

“The artist is profoundly concerned with the cultural and political 
context of her own country: Macedonia. Her critical thinking challenges 
polarised cultural, social and politically engaged art. That is, in 
parallel to addressing urgent cultural and political questions in the 
most thoughtful and reflective way, Vangeli boldly tackles even the 
most metaphysical of issues-—such as truth, the battle between good and 
evil, comprehension of God’s nature and actions, etc.” 
Suzana  Milevska, ‘Crisis of Subjects and Geographies’ catalogue essay, 
Archive 1, EAF 2008
