<div class="ex-data ex-supported"><em class=""><br class=""></em></div><div class="ex-data ex-supported"><em class="">China Quick-Fix</em> is principally a photographic archive that
documents improvised repairs in China. This phenomena is both ubiquotous
and neglected: it is something people do but not something that is
dicussed or widely pictured. In this sense it can be understood as an
unconscious aethetic that permeates urban space. The images offer an untypical perspective of contemporary China which
simltaneously reveal both the everyday problems people encounter and the
solutions they find to them. As such, a close reading of the images
brings together collective experience and individual creativity in often
surprising ways. The archive began in 2014 and has grown in size and
depth since then to encompass several exhibitions, videos, publications,
texts and workshops.</div><div class="ex-data ex-supported">The exhibition can be accessed through personal mobile devices at

approaches – through talk, presentation of works, and a mini-exhibition. The talk and the screening of excerpts from the video works <em class="">Aquarium </em>(2008), <em class="">Bird </em>(2014), <em class="">Movements White </em>(2012), <em class="">Do Not Cross </em>(2016) and <em class="">Obstacle or Threshold</em>
(2022) will encompass the different phases of artistic activity. The
artist is almost always engaged in performance art; however, said medium
is free-flowing and nearly always grows into sculpture, video work, or
photography. Therefore, these works are subject to comprehensive,
interdisciplinary presentation. In some of her works – which we can also
attribute to her sculptural vocation – the artist creates new
(non-)spaces, with emphasis on the relationship between fullness and
emptiness and the individual themselves, i.e., herself at the centre. </div><div class=""><p class=""><em class="">Half of My Meal Is an Artwork</em>
(2023) will be presented in the space as a video
installation. Here, the emphasis is also put on the critique of the art
system, together with the presence of self-irony that is also
characteristic of Sanja Latinović’s approach. The performance was
presented at the 50<sup class="">th</sup> Art Colony Assembly on Vlasina.
Specifically, over the course of one week, the artist ate only half of
the meals provided to her while attending the colony, while the rest of
the meals she documented with photographs. Hence, the emphasis here is
also put on the relationship between emptiness and fullness – the eaten
and uneaten half which becomes an artwork due to the non-existent
financial support for its production.</p></div><div class="">Supported by: Ministarstvo kulture i medija Republika Hrvatska,
