Maja Simisic
artistiek onderzoek - conceptueel - installatie - media - performance
Maja is an artist, a dog lover, provocative performer, post-postmodernist, turbofolk bombshell, devoted housewife, prophetic storyteller and a meticulous maker of uncanny worlds. She is a collection of untamed personas. Women that question and criticize their surroundings through a humorous lens. Her performative approach seeps through the narratives in vaguely defiant ways. More often than not, Maja's personas will subvert the status quo for her own benefit, rather than plainly protest it. 'If you can't beat them, infiltrate and dismantle'. No medium is foreign to her, she wove her nest in the intersection of research and making, comfortably intersecting both in new patterns. Right when you think you can pin her art as just fashion, or just performance, or just anything, she'll prove to you that categories are cages and she does not play by the rules.
