Serbia and Montenegro -- Belgrade Contemporary Art Museum in Belgrade

After a decade of Slobodan Milosevic’s regime and political changes in October 2000, Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade has been re-opened and re-established as a regional cultural centre.

The new exhibition programming of MoCAb highlights current art activity taking place on a local, regional and international basis. One of the first exhibition, in this new “era”, was presentation of visual ideas entitled “Konverzacija” (Conversation). This exhibition, gathering 50 international and regional young artists, reinforced the regional communication and brought back Belgrade on the map of the international art scene.

In spring of 2002 Museum of Contemporary Art officially presented a new permanent display entitled “Yogoslav Artistic Space 1900-1991”. Through this new display prof. Dr Jerko Denegri, one of the most reowned Yogoslav historians with the new director of the Museum Branislava Andjelkovic and curators Branislav Dimitrijevic and Dejan Sretenovic decided to take a new approach to the rich collections of the Museum, opting for different interpretations of less frequently displayed works.

During these three years, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade has organized more than 20 exhibitions and among them World-Information. Org, international project which is concerned with information technologies an communication systems, The Last East European Show, international exhibition of contemporary Eastern European art and “Thank you Rasa Todosijevic” retrospective of one the most important figure on Serbian and ex-YU art scene etc. The Salon of the MOCAb is a venue for contemporary art shows, that in the last 3 years hosted shows of many Serbian and international artists.

Apart from exhibitions and displays the Museum has developed educational and research programmes, as well as the new artists’ residency programme.
