"Art That Works/Catch Me!" is a selection of art works striving to 
review the current art production and to redefine the auratic quality 
of a work of art in the context of the contemporary society.

Viewed from this perspective, the project presents artwork that 
reaches the observer through its simplicity and is based on a pure 
and clear idea and articulates itself precisely within the medium. 
The selection focuses on works that do not presuppose additional 
explanation, works whose perception creates the basis for the process 
of both reading and understanding. In doing this, art works should 
not “work” by means of cheap and seductive tricks and conceits; they 
should stress that art can still “work” – that it can speak about 
reality without vulgarising, simplifying or banalising the reality 
itself.

The October Art Salon is a representative event featuring current art 
production in the sphere of visual arts. It was established in 1960, 
under the auspices of the City Assembly of Belgrade, as an exhibition 
of the best art works in the sphere of fine arts. In 1967 it became 
an important review of the current trends in applied arts, too. Owing 
to its tradition of four decades, the October Art Salon represents an 
important segment in the study of the contemporary art in Serbia and 
Montenegro, a great exhibition whose selectors are prominent experts 
in this area. In the course of its history, the Salon has changed its 
concept and organisational forms, but it has remained a strong 
challenge to creative consciousness.
