Adrijana Gvozdenović

Adrijana Gvozdenović (b. Titograd) is an artist-researcher and cultural worker. She develops rational, often collaborative approaches to question fixed notions of identity, authorship, and the role of the artist within institutional frameworks. Her work frequently examines the elasticity of exhibition practices—highlighting habits, protocols, roles, and the administrative and financial conditions embedded in dominant models of art production.

Her recent exhibition project Workers’ Club: Between Us, at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro, was conceived as a temporary institutional system shaped through performative instructions and workshops.

From 2017 to 2020, she was engaged in research at a.pass (Brussels) and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp), where she developed Archiving Artistic Anxieties—a project exploring artists’ motivations and their resistance to (self-)imposed structures.

Adrijana’s work has been presented at venues including Whitechapel Gallery (London), nGbK (Berlin), ŠKUC Gallery (Ljubljana), and the 54th October Salon (Belgrade). Her writing has appeared in publications such as Strange Attractors, In These Circumstances, The Artist Job Description, and Archivoltage.

Through her hybrid formats, performances, and texts, she repositions art as a space for collective inquiry, self-education, and imaginative practices of mutual support and responsibility.
