The exhibition “I Avoid Places Where I’m Expected” features young 
artists whose work refers to the complex and unstable processes of 
subjectivation. Whether this process is situated in the period of 
adolescence and maturity, like in Hana Miletic’s work; or we recognize 
it in the feeling of loneliness, understood as a certain degree of 
social isolation, which is present in the works of Ana Belosevic and 
Sebeastijan Dracic; or it is associated with love and friendship, as 
seen in the works of Zlatan Vehabovic and Danica Mracevic Jurisic – we 
are likely to understand it as an aspect of life which has little to do 
with the society that surrounds us. Therefore, as one of the results of 
subjectivation, we are often inclined to perceive our identity as 
something belonging only to us and something that is inseparable, 
something that will, in the constant interaction with others, help us 
negotiate more easily with others, fight for a meaning, acquire prestige 
and keep surviving despite everything. These artists, however, suggest 
that these intimate aspects of our lives are no longer representable 
through traditional patters of (civil) everyday life: armchairs, 
libraries, flower pots or pets; in other words, through private oases of 
peace and stability. In their case, the world is constantly lurking 
behind every bend, not giving the protagonists the freedom to isolate or 
relax.
