Maja Bajević in Madrid -

At the Crystal Palace in the Retiro Park in Madrid there will be an exhibition called “Continuará” which is a show, on between the 27th May and 3rd of October, presenting the work of artist Maja Bajevi?, who was born in Sarajevo in 1967.

What´s interesting is that the artist has carried out the project especially for this space, making it a particularly unique show, along with the reason that this will be the first time that Bajevi? will have an individual exhibition in Spain, where she has been not quite as successful as in the rest of the world.

The show is, above anything else, based around 140 economical and political slogans released between 1911 and 2011. Interestingly, as well as the information provided by the slogans, they can also be compared, as a study of the different political epochs ruling the world over the past 100 years.

The get the best out of the show, it is divided into different sections, according to whether it is day or night, including an installation, archives, projection and performance.

On top of all this, the artist will attempt to incorporate into the exhibition the construction of the Cristal Palace in the Retiro Park. This part of the work will be called “Sleeping Beauty,” which, according to Bajevi?, is because it is like a woman who for many decades remained distant from all that was going on in her surroundings.
