BROOKLYN, NY.- The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) will
present “BATTLEFIELDS”, an exhibition of photographic works by Nebojša
Šerić-Shoba. Taken over a 10 year period (from 1999 to
2009), the featured works, documentations of actual battlefields, call
into question the autonomy of “place”: the disparity that exists between
historical events and the geographic locations in which they occur.
Apart from the occasional historic marker or didactic memorial
plaque, little visual evidence remains to distinguish one site from
another, a disconnect that evokes the transient nature of history, the
arbitrary lines of the battlefield and the universality of the theaters of
war. On view 6 March through 25 April,
2010.
