Igor Simić at new exhibition in Germany

April 23rd 2026

Igor Simić will be participating in a new group exhibition that opens this April 28 at the Kunstmuseum Magdeburg in Germany. Entitled The Shared Now, visitors will be brought face to face with different artistic perspectives and interpretations of current political, social, economic and cultural trends that are affecting the modern world.

Through a curated series of artworks by selection of contemporary artists, visitors will acquaint themselves with what it means to live in the here and now: how do we negotiate and come to terms with the disintegration of democratic societies and their transfiguration into authoritarian regimes? What can we do as individuals to stem the tide of alienation that has swept across societies? How does the acceleration of the tempo of our daily lives affect our relationship with others around us and ourselves?

The exhibition opens at the Kunstmuseum Magdeburg, where visitors will have the opportunity to view and interact with the works in the presence of the artists and curators. Igor Simić’s short films, which are distinguished by their highly polished and incisive style, are available for distribution through the Kinopravda Institute catalogue. All inquiries pertaining to film rentals and distribution should be directed to → [email protected]
