Aleksandar Srb

Graduated sculpture on the "Akademija lepih umetnosti" private fine arts academy, Belgrade in 2003.
Have had many collective exhibitions with my colegues.
My first solo exhibition was in february 2008.

During my studies I have participated in three symposiums, from 2002 to 2004, which lasted for about seven days each, where I have, alongside my colegues, worked in a shipyard, a wood factory and in a sylicate blocks factory. We all improvised on the spot some ready-made sculptures, or simply got to know how some new materials act when we use them. Later we organised collective exhibitions, which were sometimes covered in mass media, like the television. There was a lot of experimenting during my studies, so I have encountered some interesting materials, like resin, which was not so commonly used in my country for sculpture casting at the time.

A member of the Applied Artists Society of Serbia (ULUPUDS) from 2004.

In 2008 I have had two great things in my career, except the first solo exhibition:

The first was that my work "...Nothing evil" was one of 50 works selected among about 2000, for the annual exhibition of young artists of Serbia, organized by the Nis Art Foundation, sponsored by the Phillip Morris branch in my country called "DIN Fabrika duvana Nis" (DIN Tobacco Factory Nis). These works were exhibited in three largest cyties of Serbia : Nis, Belgrade and Novi Sad.

The second good thing in the year 2008 was that I have participated in the "Terratoria" project, which was organized by my aquaintance, Mr. Marko Ladjusic, who is a professor of sculpture. It was a symposium of terracota sculpting, organized in the complex of Terra, an old brick factory in the town of Kikinda, turned into sculpture facilities. This project involves teracota sculptures of students and young artists, which will be bestowed on the walking area of Belgrade, the Knez Mihailova street. These sculptures should symbolize people while walking, but they range from robot like to ghost like, to anything you can imagine.

Up until now I have participated in more than 30 collective exhibitions. From all the collective exhibitions I participated in I would like to mention these:

2003 - Exhibition of the symposium of sculpture "Drvo" (Wood), The Yugoslav Artworks Gallery "Andricev venac", Belgrade

2004 - The exhibition of ULUPUDS in may, Museum "25. Maj", Belgrade

2005 - "3D mini art", an annual sculpture exhibition of the members of the sculpture section of ULUPUDS, Small gallery of ULUPUDS, Belgrade
