The sound installation enters the exhibition as another form of emotional expression\, extending its exploration of water\, inner states\, vulnerability\, and the possibility of release and renewal. \nDream of Rain explores emotional intensity\, experiences of pain\, and the inner need for cleansing through works created on textile and a spatial installation. Departing from water as one of the oldest and most universal symbols of life\, the exhibition constructs a space between weight and release\, between what we carry within ourselves and what we must let go of in order to begin again. \nAt the heart of the exhibition is the motif of rain—not simply as a natural phenomenon\, but as a state of anticipation. Here\, rain is what comes after saturation\, the moment when everything that has accumulated finally transforms into movement. It can be a tear\, a relief\, a memory\, but also a promise of a new beginning. Dream of Rain speaks of the human desire to find the possibility of renewal through our own fractures\, to allow what was once a source of pain to become the ground from which something new can emerge. \nThe textile works occupy a space between painting\, object\, and bodily experience. Textile\, as a material intimately connected to the body\, clothing\, touch\, and everyday life\, becomes a carrier of emotional traces and a kind of membrane between the inner and outer worlds. Its softness and flexibility stand in contrast to the intensity of the themes evoked by the works: pain\, longing\, vulnerability\, but also the need for transformation. The material therefore does not remain merely a surface for painting\, but becomes an active part of the work’s meaning. \nThe installation further shifts the works beyond the traditional relationship between painting and wall\, creating an environment that can be experienced almost as an inner landscape. Fragments of textile\, their forms\, and their presence within the space create an atmosphere resembling the moment immediately before or after rain—the uncertain interval in which the weight of what has passed can still be felt\, while the possibility of something different is already beginning to emerge. The exhibition space thus becomes a meeting point between the personal and the universal\, between intimate experience and the cycles of nature. \nWater\, in this context\, carries an archetypal meaning. As the mother of life\, it simultaneously represents origin\, cleansing\, and the possibility of rebirth. Rain nourishes the earth and restores its fertility; in a similar way\, what we experience as emotional weight can become part of a process of inner transformation. Cleansing here is not imagined as an erasure of the past\, but as an acceptance and transformation of what has been painful. \nThe exhibition therefore does not speak only of suffering\, but of the necessity of moving through it. Of the need for something within us to loosen\, to overflow the boundaries we have placed around it\, and finally to find a way outward. Dream of Rain is\, in this sense\, a space between a tear and rain\, between the end of one cycle and the possibility of a new source. \nIt is a dream of water\, but also a dream of the moment when\, after a long inner storm\, it once again becomes possible to breathe. \nArtist Biography: Teodora Nešković  \nTeodora Nešković (b. 2001\, Serbia) is a young artist based in Belgrade. She completed her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Painting at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Belgrade\, graduating with a Master’s degree in September 2025.

Her artistic practice is characterized by an interest in translating introspective experiences into visual narratives that connect the personal with the universal. \nShe has participated in numerous workshops\, artist residencies\, and festivals\, and has presented her work in solo and group exhibitions in Serbia and internationally\, including in Croatia\, Slovenia\, Hungary\, Austria\, the Czech Republic\, Montenegro\, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. She is a recipient of an award from the Museum of Naïve and Marginal Art\, and her works are held in museum and private collections. \n \nArtist Biography: Isidora Bulatović  \nIsidora Bulatović is a 22-year-old cellist and sound artist based in Vienna\, currently studying at the University of Music and Performing Arts Graz in the class of Tobias Stosiek.

Her collaborations include Hermann Nitsch’s final 6-Day Play\, the Angewandte Festival in Vienna\, and a performance for cello\, text\, and live electronics with students of Kunstuniversität Linz. \nHer most recent work is a sound installation for live cello and a backing track called– Imitation Error – premiered in Trieste. \nFoto: Johannes Gellner\nAusstellung im Rahmen der prekARTe ’26: Brache / Kultur / G’stättn \nDie prekARTe ’26 ist angewandte Erforschung künstlerischer Strategien zum zeitgenössischen (Über)Leben im Windschatten von Spekulationen\, Krisen und Kriegen. \nDas vollständige Programm der prekARTe ’26 finden Sie auf www.aporon21.org \nKünstlerische Leitung: Igor F.
