Bojan Šarčević

Born in 1974 in Belgrade, Serbie

Bojan Šarčević’s pluridisciplinary practice (sculpture, video installation, photography, collage) focuses on spaces and architecture. His works are built around the juxtaposition of lines and forms, drawing geometric structures in a state of equilibrium imbued with the vocabulary of modernist and art deco architecture. Through a process of formal and conceptual abstraction, he appropriates these historical languages while questioning the poetic and political implications of the materials and styles he uses.

Born in 1974 in Belgrade, Bojan Šarčević studied at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-arts in Paris and at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. His work has been exhibited worldwide, including at the Manifesta 2 Biennial in Luxembourg (1998), the Tate Modern in London, the Berlin Biennial, and the Venice Bienniale (2003). Bojan Šarčević lives and works in Basel.
