Nena Skoko, Serbian contemporary artist, confronts cultural, political and social context with sharply humoristic and intriguing works that often challenge the spectrum of tolerance and modernity.
Nena Skoko also draws a great deal from this social aspect; she always comments on the environment she lives in (and Balkan countries have much to offer in this respect), but at the same time uses her artistic energy to include other people in the creative process.
Project Renovation / Art service invited people to intervene with fancy work on old clothes – as subversion to consumerist anti-individualistic contemporary fashion (...)
Nena Skoko makes art in conditions that put her on the edge; she plays with tolerance, good taste, common sense, institutions, showing all the danger of normalization processes. The humour is here to make us laugh at first, but soon this laughter makes us think about the world we live in.
