Izložba Gordane Tomić u galeriji “Agora” na Menhetnu

Naša talentovana slikarka savremene umetnosti, Gordana Tomić, održala je samostalnu izložbu pod nazivom “Za Beograd pre Njujorka”, u galeriji Singidunum od 6. do 14. marta 2014. godine. Svoja dela ova umetnica predstavila je prvo beogradskoj publici nakon čega sledi izložba u Njujorku, od 5 – 25. jula ove godine. Samostalna izložba u galeriji Singidunum je i svojevrsna najava izložbe u Njujorku, a upravo je ova činjenica postala lajtmotiv izložbe „Za Beograd pre Njujorka“. Radovi slikarke Gordane Tomić, koju na svetskoj sceni savremene umetnosti zastupa njujorška galerija “Agora”, obuhvataju tri ciklusa: ciklus apstrakcija „Tragovi složenih iskušenja“, ciklus apstraktnih aktova „Osvajajući potreti u strasti“ i ciklus apstraktnih pejzaža „Chicago“. Domaća javnost imala je priliku da se na izložbi, u galeriji Singidunum, upozna sa delom opusa iz ciklusa apstrakcija pod nazivom “Tragovi složenih iskušenja”. Na svečanosti povodom otvaranja izložbe, o njenom značaju za savremenu srpsku umetnost, govorio je Zdravko Vučinić, naš istaknuti kritičar i istoričar umetnosti – recenzent kataloga izložbe „Tragovi složenih iskušenja“, Maja Škaljac Stanošević, kustos galerije Singidunum i Tijana Trbović, zamenik umetničkog direktora galerije Prima.

Nakon izložbe u Beogradu, slikarka će svojim radovima na izložbi u galeriji “Agora” na Menhetnu, simbolično preneti duh Beograda u autentičnu globalnu metropolu, Njujork. Galerija “Agora” se nalazi na respektabilnom šestom mestu globalne mape galerija specijalizovanih za savremenu umetnost i biće zvanični zastupnik Gordane Tomić na medjunarodnoj sceni do kraja 2015. godine. Vredi zabeležiti da će Gordana Tomić biti prva slikaraka sa naših prostora koja će održati izložbu u ovoj galeriji. "Za ovog umetnika lepota umetnosti je izražena u fizici, emocijama i u življenju sada-i-ovde. Kroz jarke boje i često elementarne i amorfne konstrukcije, Tomićeva grabi izvanredne, smislene momente koji definišu njen utisak sveta. Njene slike proširuju naš pogled na svet naglašavajući stalno menjanje pejzaža iskustava u nama." - Citat kriticara Joyce Asper, New York.

Izložba u Njujorku pod nazivom "Cadences of Color", biće svečano otvorena 10. jula od 6 - 8 pm, i trajaće do 25. jula 2014.

Theological Disambiguations

An Unconventional Handbook of Orthodox Theology

by Rev. Vladan Perisic

Foreword
by Fr John Behr

It is a great pleasure to see this work published, making available some of the most important writings of Fr Vladan Perisic over the last couple of decades available, together in one volume, to an English speaking audience. Fr Vladan’s work is well known in Serbia, and in broader academic and ecumenical circles. But it can now receive the much wider readership that it deserves, and, as a collected volume, its scope, coherence, and significance is sure to receive the recognition it deserves.

The eighteen essays collected here treat diverse topics, from academic theology (and its place in the Church) to questions of life and death, from historically oriented studies, on Sts Ignatius and Gregory Palamas, to contemporary issues, such as human rights and ecology. Each of them is characterized by meticulous scholarship and great insight, clarity of thought and expression.
