"Mirko Ilić: The Cuts"

I am pleased to let you know that on April 24th I hosted the “second opening” and a conversation about “Mirko Ilić: The Cuts,” a show of my illustrations and comics at the Cultural Centre of the Old Royal Capital Cetinje in Montenegro.

The show was organised by the FLUID Design Forum and curated by Ana Matić & Srdja Dragovic.

 
“The exhibition ‘The Cuts’ presents a carefully composed cross-section of the comic and illustration work of Mirko Ilić, bringing into direct dialogue works created within the context of Yugoslav, European, and American print media of the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s with his most recent comic series A.C. 2020, developed at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic became an inescapable frame of everyday life. This is not a retrospective in the conventional sense, but a considered cut — an attempt to trace, through temporal and aesthetic shifts, the continuity of an exceptionally consistent yet never fixed authorial line.”
