BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1967 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Maja Bajevic lives and works in Paris. Using a range of media including video, light, installation, photography and performance, Bajevic offers critical insight into today’s social and political climate. Her video “Double Bubble” (2001) explores the concept of religious ideal, contrasting the values preached by organized religions with crimes committed “in the name of God”. Bajevic’s sound installation “Avanti Popolo” (2002-2005) is composed of patriotic songs from 30 different countries. Immersing the viewer in a cacophonic sound-scape, the work questions the paradoxical nature of anthems, which enhance a sense of collective belonging while also lending themselves to ideological designs.

Maja Bajevic has recently presented solo exhibitions at Kunsthaus Glarus, Switzerland (2010), Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zürich (2010), Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice (2008), Galerie Michel Rein, Paris (2008) and PS1, New York (2004). Her work has also been shown as part of Documenta 12, Kassel (2007), “Airs de Paris” at Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2007), the 2nd Moscow Biennial (2007), the 7th Sharjah Biennal (2005) as well as the Bosnian Pavilion for the 50th Venice Biennale (2003).

Maja Bajevic is represented by Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zürich and Galerie Michele Rein, Paris, France.
