The exhibition thematizes and explores the notion of movement through the synaesthetic design of a mobile-spatial installation.

The artworks presented at this exhibition are a continuation of the author’s painting cycle “Zaron”. During her process, the author listens to music, abstracting the harmony of music, showing by color the tone with which the musical sequence begins, while the rhythm is represented by a line. To this author adds: Sequences depicting the works are reflected movements of a part of composition composed of rhythms and tones.” The author conveys her fascination with the movement from the painting to the futuristic installation A_22, which we can see here. By conscious use of non-conventional materials, which contrasts her approach at the cycle’s beginning, her process travels from two-dimensional painting frames into the world of a mobile, but even there certain rules apply and some control is imposed. The author raises the synergy of rhythm and form to the next level with her mobiles: the pictorial line poured into physical materials, such as a pipe, still carries rhythm, but in the artwork, a tone is also felt through a color.
Precisely because of the author’s abstract approach, it calls for various interpretations. Speaking with my faculty colleagues without giving up too many details on Iva’s work, the work took on various interpretations: bag, huge swatter with the trajectory of a fly, cyclicality, bicycle chain, rabbit, watering flowers, or Noo Noo (Teletabis ‘ vacuum cleaner). At first glance, these are unrelated terms, associations resulting from experiences and impressions of different people, but they are brought together by a central term: a movement. Watering flowers in the garden require movement, a bag is a practical object that eases the transfer of more things from point A to point B, while a rabbit is an animal whose jumping is unpredictable. Inspired by music, the author creates her works, and her sculptures adapted connotations encourage observers’ unique viewpoints that always reflect a movement. With this exhibition, we are entering the dynamism, but unlike Giacomo Balle, we are not on a leash, but rather we’re given freedom of a particular movement, as much as it can be.
