In  search of space, Exhibition in Haos Gallery, Belgrade, 2012

ANIMATION

Still images from the installation at 'Were Bound' show, Old Connolly Station, Dublin

Four artists were asked to work with and in the gallery space for a set period of time and create work in response to it, while at the same time recording the process. 

An interactive installation. 

1. The viewer enters a space that appears to be breathing. 
2. The viewer moves closer, the space starts deepening. 
3. The viewer walks further in, the deepening space collapses with the sound of a machine gun.  
4. The viewer is left in front of the lit back wall of the empty space 

Illustrations for the book: Plato’s philosophical mythology, by Irina Deretic, 2014

“The visual identity of Plato's philosophical mythology should also be commended. The book is skillfully illustrated by Barbara Vasic, making the doxastic images of Plato's myths alive and enchanting.” Srdjan Damnjanovic, Danas, 5 December 2014

An installation created for the curatorial selection by Nenad Radic for the October Salon, Belgrade. 

The installation is a work in itself, creating a 'fallen' cross over a corner of the exhibition space.
It also spatially separates the works selected by the curator into one 'sacred' space within the salon. 

Installation for the Biennial of Young Artists in Vrsac, Yugoslavia (Serbia). 

The installation is a work in itself. It is the the shortest route from the entrance to the furthest point in the gallery room consisting of long sheets of tracing paper hanging from the ceiling. 

From the entrance, it looks as if there is only one way through. 

As the visitor walks in, multiple views of the room open up, revealing other works in the space. 

From the side, people walking through the passage of paper look stuck in it. 

This work received the Grand Prix of the Bienninal

Meditation on the word PAUSE.  

Pause as the empty moment in time between content which is only noticed by the existence of the content.  

Gallery space looks full from the entrance, once we get to the back wall and turn around an empty space within the space reveals itself. 

My text about the exhibition published in Projekat Magazine. 

This ambient was one of four with the same theme that ran consecutively in the same space, each created by one of the members of an informal group of artists (Neda Kovinic, Jelena Vesic, Vesna Vesic, and Barbara Vasic).

Fear and suffocation facing the empty gallery space ... 

Installation 

Interactive installation. 
Part of the FAF Artists Group (Ian-John Coughlan, Suzanne Mooney, Linda O'Keeffe, Barbara Vasic) exhibition in the Lab, Dublin. 

My work divided the gallery space to form separate exhibition spaces and a darkened space for projection.

A webcam hanging from the ceiling was pointed at the viewers. 
This image was being projected on the wall.
The viewers saw themselves as part of the exhibition.
They could also push the webcam to move like a pendulum, which resulted in a 'wobbly' image until it finally settled again in equilibrium.  

Group work with artists Neda Kovinic, Vesna Vesic and Jelena Vesic. 

The group was given one room as part of the exhibition "Examples of Abstract Art, a Radical History", in Cvijeta Zuzoric Pavilion, Belgrade, Serbia. 
Rather than filling the space with art, we blocked the entrance to the room by creating a route to the rest of the exhibition.
