Aleksić Gallery of Contemporary Art was founded in 2023 in Kragujevac as an independent gallery platform dedicated to contemporary art from Serbia and the region.
The gallery functions as a space for production, exhibition, and dialogue, with a clear intention to position contemporary art as an active field of thought, exchange, and experience.
The mission of Aleksić Gallery is to systematically present and support contemporary artists
The mission of Aleksić Gallery is to systematically present and support contemporary artists whose practices reflect on the contemporary moment – social, personal, historical, and spatial.
The gallery aspires to be a place where art is not viewed as a decorative object, but as a process, an attitude, and an open question.
Particular focus is placed on artists from Serbia, the former Yugoslav space, and the broader Balkan context, with the goal of understanding regional artistic practices in their full complexity, continuities, and discontinuities.
The program of Aleksić Gallery is shaped through carefully curated solo and group exhibitions
The program of Aleksić Gallery is shaped through carefully curated solo and group exhibitions, long-term collaboration with artists, and projects that transcend classical gallery formats.
Exhibitions are conceived as complete experiences, with a clear narrative, but without rigid institutional distance.
The gallery nurtures diverse artistic media and practices – painting, sculpture, interdisciplinary projects, and research processes – while continuously questioning the relationship between form, content, and contemporary context.
The gallery space is located in the cultural heart of Kragujevac and is designed as a neutral, minimalist architecture that allows for diverse exhibition configurations.
High ceilings, clear light, and flexible spatial arrangement enable adaptation to diverse artistic practices and formats.
The gallery space simultaneously functions as a place of encounter and exchange, where the exhibition program naturally connects with conversations, meetings, and informal artistic situations.
Aleksić Gallery collaborates with artists of different generations, focusing on authentic, thoughtful, and consistent artistic practices. The relationship with artists is based on trust, continuity, and joint project development.
The gallery establishes collaborations with curators, researchers, and other cultural actors, creating a network of knowledge and experience exchange within the contemporary art scene of Serbia and the region.
