Biography
Maja Bajevic (Bosnia and Hercegovina / France) is an artist who takes a critical and witty approach to art in order to pinpoint dualities in human behavior, in particular those involving power. The power of history is opposed to the power of choice and interpretation; collective memory to collective amnesia, objective accounts to subjective storytelling and imagination as a construction in progress, fluid and unstable (the presence of scaffolding in her work is not fortuitous), whose shifts and derivations react to contradictory stimuli. Bajevic¹s work, performative in many ways, ranges from video, installation, performance and sound to text, crafts, drawing, machinery and photography.
She has been invited to take part in some of the most important exhibitions of the 1990s and 2000s, including Manifesta (2000), Documenta (2007), and the Istanbul (2001) and Venice (2003) Biennials. She has had solo exhibitions at PS1, MoMA, New York (2004); Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2005);
and Reina Sofia, Madrid (2011), DAAD gallery (2012) CUNY, NYC (2013) to mention but a few.
