Press Release

1301PE is pleased to announce its first solo exhibition with acclaimed artist Ana Prvački. Ranging from her DIY catalogues, videos and performances, Prvački’s work is known for exploring the limitations and possibilities of language and its cultural parameters. In her videos, services, concoctions and drawings Ana Prvački uses a gently pedagogical and comedic approach in an attempt to reconcile etiquette and erotics.

This exhibition will focus on two bodies of work: Porn Scores and Tent, Quartet, Bows and Elbows. These works play with the idea of erotic in music, both in how it could be written and preformed. Prvački makes visible these thoughts, which creates an uneasy feeling within our cultural mores.

Ana Prvački was born in Yugoslavia and lives and works in Los Angeles. Her work has been included in many international exhibitions: dOCUMENTA 13, Sydney Biennial 2007, Singapore Biennial 2006, and the Turin Triennale 2005.

She has developed projects for venues and institutions such as the Hammer Museum (Los Angeles), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea (Turin), Smart Museum of Art (Chicago), Bloomberg HQ (NYC), Art in General (NYC), Artists Space (NYC), Umoca (Salt Lake City) and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Boston).

About the Artist

Ana Prvački (b. 1976, Serbia) is a Los Angeles-based artist whose work draws on daily practices and social research. Her interventions are meant to transform the viewer’s perception and experience of daily life and routine, providing solutions to our everyday problems, worries, and fears. She explores social anxiety and the comedic potential of faux pas as well as the sociopolitical significance of welcoming the “other.” In her videos, services, concoctions and drawings, she uses a gently pedagogical and comedic approach in an attempt to reconcile etiquette and erotics. Prvački has produced a series of ideas catalogues (Ananatural Production catalogues) with the intention of filing and documenting her imagination. Some of the thoughts have been realized as performances. She has shown in numerous international venues including: SMART Museum (Chicago), Bloomberg (NY), Lombard-Freid Projects (NY), Art in General (NY), Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum (Boston), Centre Pompidou (Paris), Castello di Rivoli Museo d’Arte Contemporanea (Turin), Sydney Biennial, Singapore Biennial, the Turin Triennale and 2017 Chicago Architecture Biennial.
