RADENKO MILAK
Radenko Milak (*1980 in Travnik, Bosnien und Herzegowina, lebt in Banja Luka, Bosnien und Herzegowina) studierte an der Kunstakademie in Banja Luka und an der Kunsthochschule in Belgrad, Serbien. 2014 präsentierte die Kunsthalle Darmstadt seine erste große Einzelausstellung in Deutschland. 2017 entwickelte MILAK für seine Einzelausstellung im Pavillon von Bosnien und Herzegowina auf der 57. Biennale Venedig das multidisziplinäre Projekt „University of Disaster“. Im Zentrum standen vier großformatige, komplex komponierte Aquarelle zu verschiedenen, von Menschen herbeigeführten Desastern. Sie befinden sich heute in der Sammlung des Museum Folkwang, Essen. 2019 waren Milaks Werke in der großen Schau „HYPER! A JOURNEY INTO ART AND MUSIC“ in den Deichtorhallen Hamburg zu sehen. 2020 hatte Radenko Milak die Einzelausstellung „Desaster of the Unseen“ (15.10.2020 – 29. November 2020) im Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb, im selben Jahr zeigte das Marta Herford eine Auswahl seiner Werke in der Ausstellung „Trügerische Bilder – Ein Spiel mit Malerei und Fotografie“ (30.10.2020 – 15.8.2021).

In seinen Gemälden und Animationsfilmen, meist in Aquarelltechnik mit schwarzem Pigment realisiert, analysiert RADENKO MILAK die Rolle der zeitgenössischen Bildproduktion bei der Herausbildung unseres historischen und kulturellen Gedächtnisses. Das malerische Werk des bosnischen Künstlers kreist um Fragen der Fixierung und Speicherung des Visuellen sowohl in der persönlichen Erinnerung als auch in der medialen Präsentation durch Film und Foto.

RADENKO MILAK
Radenko Milak (born in 1980 in Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina, lives in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina) studied at University of Banja Luka Academy of Arts as well as Belgrade University of Art in Serbia. His first major solo exhibition in Germany was hosted in 2014 by Kunsthalle Darmstadt. In 2017, Milak developed the multidisciplinary project University of Disaster for his solo exhibition at the Bosnia and Herzegovina Pavilion at the 57th Venice Biennale. The centerpiece comprised four large-format, complex watercolors depicting various disasters caused by humans; they are now in the collection of Museum Folkwang in Essen. In 2019, works by Milak were included in the large show HYPER! A Journey into Art and Music at Deichtorhallen Hamburg. In 2020, Radenko Milak held a solo exhibition entitled Disaster of the Unseen (October 15 – November 29, 2020) at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Zagreb. A selection of his works was also included in the exhibition Deceptive Images – Playing with Painting and Photography at Marta Herford (October 30, 2020 – August 15, 2021).

In his paintings and animated films – mostly watercolours with black pigment – RADENKO MILAK analyses the role of contemporary image production in the formation of our historical and cultural memory. The Bosnian artist’s painting work centres on questions relating to how visual elements are fixed and stored – both in personal memories and as presented in the media of film and photography.
