Jelena Pantelić – Visual Artist

About

Pantelić sees her own practice through the domain of personal experience and common ground, observing activities, discipline, and chores that belong to everyday life rather than the extraordinary. In doing so, the artist performs her art as labor rather than work, a matter of necessity rather than choice, exploiting the rituals of cleaning, eating, intimate intercourse, and self-care (or lack thereof). By dealing with the details from within her own life, her work provides a specific interpretation of human behavior, thus offering a wider picture of the social context in which the artist operates.  / Natalija Paunić
