Image: photograph, taken by a lake, probably; sunny – we see a sun reflection in the water, bottom left; a right arm, clad in plaid to mid-forearm, extends in from the left side of the image; it is holding a cowboy hat which appears, more or less, to be on the head of the central figure in the photo; that figure is turned towards the left side of the image, bare left shoulder towards us, long dark hair; blurry trees in the background ¨“The Last Balkan Cowboy is the outcome of Dragana Jurišić’s long-term research project following the footsteps of cult Yugoslavian film director, Hari Džekson. Renowned for his interpretation of Wild West genre archetypes, Džekson lived a cowboy fantasy inspired by the rugged landscapes of Bosnia Herzegovina, and the conflicts across borders and race that led to the fragmentation of a nation. Jurišić mythologises Džekson’s legacy in the aftermath of the Balkan war. She is drawn to the symbolism of a wandering outsider roaming the landscape for…”

loose painting, quickly applied, quite thin but strong colours, vigorous; we see a figure lying on something akin to a bed, viewed from above, snuggled, red coveres, blue, pale pink; side view of a face, huge hair swirling upwards, over a yellow pillow • “the soft animal of your body explores the interior landscape of pregnancy, childbirth and early motherhood. Created in the immediacy of these experiences, the paintings respond to the physical and psychological shifts of matrescence: time untethered, memory fragmented, the self both expanded and newly fragile.
Fabric becomes a recurring motif, echoing the domestic rhythms of early caregiving - bedsheets tangled by night feeds, the disorientation of sleep deprivation. Folds of cloth form pathways where images surface and dissolve, and the works hover between fantasy and lived reality.
Taking its title from by Mary Oliver, the exhibition speaks to acceptance and belonging within the natural world - at once beautiful and stark…”

Brassica Juncea is a plant used to cleanse polluted soil, and its entanglement with human activity is referenced through mark-making consisting of straight lines, both delicate and violent.

The exhibition will run in the lower and upper galleries from Saturday, 14th February, to Friday 20th March, 2026. In Gvozdene Kapije / The Iron Gates, Knežević brings together film and sculpture to interpret the histories, stories, and materiality of a region in eastern Serbia known as Gvozdene Kapije (The Iron Gates): the deep gorge at Đerdap on the Danube River, bordering Serbia and Romania. At the centre of the exhibition is a 48-minute single-channel film that focuses on a group of 10,000-year-old sculptures uncovered at Lepenski Vir during preparatory works for the Iron Gates Dam, a major hydroelectric project completed in 1972 by the governments of the former Yugoslavia and Romania. The film traces this layered history through material and oral accounts of the region, channeled through five non-human narrators; material, infrastructural, animal, and geological actors who shape and inhabit the environment of the Iron Gates gorge. Composed of original and archival footage, personal testimonies, interviews, staged imaginings and choreography, the film gathers pace and moves between fact and speculative fiction.

As our constructed and natural world unravels to near collapse, we rely on storytelling as a tool for connection, a tool for protection.
