[Text nur in englischer Sprache verfügbar] Dahlačkov
is a collaboration between Selena Junačkov & Mark Dahl, who live and work in Belgrade, Serbia (Dahl is originally from Vancouver). Their practice takes inter-subjectivity as a basic premise while focusing on intertextuality, heteroglossia, irony and ideological critique. The Dahlačkov approach to art is not interested in the artistic object as such but rather in social relations and communication.

Selena Junačkov
Statement
In my photographic and experimental video practices I am quite often researching notions about identity, history and memory. Often times these themes are combined into installations mixing various media as sculpture, found objects, photography, sound...
My projects are generated from concerns found in the reciprocal relations of architecture and natural environments, visual culture and the perception of space. I am posing questions about space, place and urban structures, as well as their conditions within cultural and ideological systems of representations. Each of my projects often consists of multiple works, often in a range of different media, grouped around specific themes.

Statement
My practice began to solidify in Vancouver in the mid-00s. Since then I have had an inclination to engage in cumbersome negotiation with the ambiguous, playful potentials of text and performativity. The inherent instability of language as it is employed in various political practices has been of particular interest, and I find much of my work signals a never-concluding inquest into the mechanics of ideology within cultural production. There is a mischievous, often humours tinkering with the workings of truths in my artwork, which for me contains the sentiment that no argument can ever end. When faced with the task of evaluating or articulating mine and Dahlačkov’s approach to art, I am always reminded of John Berger’s qualification of art as that which “mediates between what is given and what is desired”. More than anything, in regard to art, people desire meaning (or seek, necessarily in vain, for a meaning to shape their desire), but the elite, professional, institutional art world has maintained a kind of (largely classist) cultural alienation that manifests in the average viewer’s notion that they must ‘get’ the work, or that they ‘don’t understand’ it. My practice is premised on the belief that neither are possible. The mediation that takes place in my work eliminates any interest in ‘sending a message’, and is not centrally concerned with representing something familiar. Instead, I aim to deal with the inevitable, cyclical obversion of reading and writing, one that leaves the two appearing practically synonymous.
