## Biography

Igor Antić was born in Novi Sad (Serbia) in 1962.

After studies at the Novi Sad Academy of Fine Arts, Antić attended the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts and the Institut des Hautes Études en Arts Plastiques in Paris. In 1995, during the war in former Yugoslavia he founded the Pokret Encounter Centre in Novi Sad. In 2000, he got The Pollock - Krasner Foundation's Grant in New York. In 2004, he was the curator of the 11th Biennial of visual arts Values in Pancevo, Serbia.

Igor Antić has participated in numerous group exhibitions, including "10 Ans d'expériences" at Pommery, Reims (2012),"The Open House", in IASPIS, Stockholm (2009), 5x5 in Espai d'art contemporani de Castelló (2009), "Crossing values", the 1st Biennial of Rennes (2008), "L'emprise du lieu", "Expérience Pommery #4" in Reims (2007), "Anthology of art", in "Kunst und Ausstelunggshalle der Bundesrepublik Deutschland" in Bonn (2006), Academy of Arts, Berlin, ZKM in Karlsruhe (2005), Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris (2002) and The Pontus Hulten's collection, Moderna Museet, Stockholm (2004).

Among other exhibitions, he held one-man shows at the Eurogroup, Paris ("Cabinet de consultations", 2008), Museum of contemporary art, Novi Sad ("Here, faraway", 2006), The City museum, Ljubljana ("The iconography of bordello", 2006), Space for contemporary arts HEC, Paris ("Promocreation", 2003), Centre d'art CLARK, Montréal, ("Kiosquekiosk", 2002), La Chambre Blanche, Québec, ("Carrefour, Standstill", 1999), The Chinati Foundation, Marfa, Texas ("Notebuilding", 1998).

The art works of Igor Antić aim to explore and highlight economic and political forces operating within a given context. He creates images, objects and situations as physical "grids" from which emerges the social and cultural context of the chosen site. Through these, questions linked to the conditions of art production and its use in general, are raised.

He is the son of poet Mika Antić.
