Museum Night at the Central Military Club of Serbia
A good time in the best sense of the word and a true joy, are impressions by which the majority of guests in galleries and halls of the Central Military Club, described their experience after visiting the programmes that have been traditionally very carefully organized on the occasion of the renowned national cultural event.In the Grand Gallery, the hosts arranged a unique exhibition of paintings of Ilija Bosilj from the Museum of Naive Art "Ilijanum" from Sid, consisting of works from the series "The Bible", "Fiction", "The Iliad," "Birds" and "Beasts".
One of the visitors, the renowned Serbian conceptualist Dragoljub Rasa Todosijevic points out that Bosilj's exhibition is the first-class art event in Belgrade.
- Bingo! My personal experience is entirely sentimental and even though I repeatedly watched these pictures I am elated. Aside from that I personally knew Ilija and his son. This is the best exhibition of the "Night of Museums", and Bosilj, although he was somehow underestimated, was truly naïve artist.
Visitors to the Small Gallery, ready for "Reading the Line", made a tour of the selection of graphic works from the collection of the Central Military Club, whose part are also the graphics of the author that marked the Yugoslav art of the fifties, sixties and seventies, including Branko Sotra, Djeordje Andrejevic Kun, Dragoslav Stojanovic Sip, Bozidar Jakac, Ankica Opresnih, Riko Debenjak, Safet Zec, Edo Murtic and others.
Diversity of offer of Odbrana Media Centre and introduction of good energy as well as the space for new artistic forms in the "Night of Museums", was contributed by the very well received by audience exhibition of three-dimensional caricatures of celebrities and public figures, the Kragujevac author Milivoje Lijo Obrenovic, which was presented in the announcement as a bridge between the two types of artistic expression – paintings and plastic art. By a sort of performance, the author showed in front of the audience how this modern form emerges.
To the delight of many visitors during the museum night, ceremonial halls of the Central Military Club were open for public, and the special kind of charm to the artistic adventure was given by the strings of the chamber band of the Stanislav Binicki Art Ensemble of the Ministry of Defence.Marko Milutinov, an economist from Belgrade, said that he was particularly pleased that he can see in the Hall the masterpieces of the Serbian artists who are not part of the regular display.
- Indeed, the collection of the Central Military Club is a true artistic treasure, and I welcome the feeling of the people in the institution who have made a real impression on the audience by careful selection, with great chamber music performance by Binicki ensemble.
