Maja Vukoje. Auf Kante / On the Edge Belvedere 21, Wien 2020

In her painting Maja Vukoje explores cultural hybridity and transculturality as basic conditions of our globalized lives. Over various stages of her artistic career, Vukoje has developed a distinct artistic language in which she not only focuses on the mixture and fusion of elements of different cultures as visual motifs. The book will comprise more than two hundred images from the past fifteen years, with an emphasis on her most recent work series. In the latter tropical fruits and so-called colonial goods like coffee and sugar come face to face with symbols of our digitized everyday lives, motifs from popular culture, and iconic works of painterly abstraction.
