Visual artist Filip Jovanovski together with Ivana Vaseva, curator, and Biljana Tanurovska Kjulavkovski, researcher, curator and producer, participate in the exhibition "Art at work: At the crossroads between utopianism and (non)dependence", which will be opened on September 22, 2022 and will be on view until January 29, 2023 at the Metelkova Museum of Contemporary Art (+MSUM) in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

The team of renowned international curators, Zdenka Badovinac, Bojana Pishkur, Igor Spagnol and Anna Mizerit selected artists, activists and collectives as part of the exhibition "The Art of Work", which looks at three different segments of the genealogy of the concept of (art) work in the region of the former Yugoslavia: first, the way the work was conceived by avant-garde artists of the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s; then, the transformations of the concept of artwork and artistic spaces in the 1990s; and finally, the political art practices associated with the labor of 2000.

More than 50 artists, art collectives and associations from the region of the former Yugoslavia participate in the exhibition. Many of the works presented are from the collections of the Modern Gallery, most of them from the international "Arteast 2000+" collection.

Filip Jovanovski will present his work/video portrait "Labour Striker" (2011-2022), while Biljana Tanurovska Kjulavkovski and Ivana Vaseva will present the performative lecture "How my life became a cultural worker - cultural workers take the stage" (2016 ).
