ABOUT

Vuk Ćuk (1987) is a visual artist based in Belgrade, Serbia. He is interested in how capitalist logic, trends and technology shape both the human and natural world, examining new ways of living in the contemporary society. He works across various media, such as sculpture (kinetic and static), installations, drawing, digital art and painting. His work was shown at Sequence Art Festival, Marshall House in Reykjavik, Iceland (2019), 57th Belgrade Biennale curated by Gunnar and Danielle Kvaran, Belgrade, Serbia (2018), China Art Museum in Shanghai (2017), Sugarcube Festival in New York (2016) and Taiyuan Scultpure Symposium, Taiyuan, China (2016). His new body of work will also be part of the next Belgrade Biennale in 2021, curated by CURA's Ilaria Marotta and Andrea Baccin. Ćuk has had solo shows in Belgrade with gallery ZVONO several times and in Ljubljana with Ravnikar gallery (2019), as well as at the Serbian Cultural Centre in Paris (2018). He teaches at Belgrade's University of Art (Faculty of Applied Arts) and is a recipient of MAK Museum Vienna's Recognition Award, Vladimir Velisekovic fund award, Taiyuan Sculpture Symposium award.
