Event Description : "Encryption" a solo exhibition by Mito Gegic.

Painting is, in the modern mill of mass imagery and in the aspect of the strengthening of interdisciplinary artistic mediums, an extremely malnourished medium. With its easel position and its historical insistence on the point of the autonomous has the contemporary painting reached a border where it is confronted with an extreme pluralization of content and information, with a multitude of global perspectives and views and with the fracture of digital technologies. With its own antipode… Painting as a contemporary process of art, interprets this border and sets it anew, for, it is set in this point in history and under the current flood of images, in an inevitable position of reinterpreting its own means of production and its conceptual lines inherited by its historical fathers of art. Painting thus becomes a platform of engagement, theory and political distinctions. The thesis I make in my work is that the contemporary image, that is the digital, repetitive and elusive image, is freed from its traditional carriers and so gains a new drive in between the frames of cyber space and electronic screens. The image has, with an perpetual digital democratization, got rid of its constitutive elements of its being and so passed into the noise and flux of global data transfers and into a space of connections and inter-textual knitting’s. With my attempt to paint I directly deal with this problem of modern perception and the delivery of the image. I bend the procedure of painting towards the idea of mobility of the image and its non-material position. With the appliance of duct tape over the canvas, which is completely covered and so substituted, the painted motif and its transfer becomes a conceptual act that bypasses the carriers static and claim of propriety. The image, in this case a hunting trophy photo, gains new momentum and is transferred to a new surface. With the design of a diptych, the original carrier and the newly created, I supposed a correlation between the before and the now, between on and off, between process and static, between the space of the image and our space, the space of action and movement; the space of the viewer. With this kind of transfer which in its narrowest sense is a fundamental act of the painter and is also indirectly pointing to the fleeting nature of the digital image, I am establishing the conditions of the reinterpretations of our relationship towards the visible and the invisible, towards intervention itself. I expanded the painting to a new body and interpreted space but mainly to the painting process which becomes, in the mesh of constant transfers and diametric distances, the true mediator of the contemporary painting. A contemporary painting is not a self-sufficient location on the wall but primarily a node of diverse topographies and a trail of processes.​
