- W2761190826 abstract "Concentrating on the 1970s period, during which the artist lived in London, the exhibition surveys a crucial moment in his practice which continues to contribute significantly to discourse surrounding critical practices and intervention in public space. Arriving in London in 1971 to study at Central St. Martins, Dimitrijevic was already known for large-scale photographic portraits of anonymous people – the casual passer-by – which were displayed on facades and billboards. In London he continued to experiment with strategies for shifting meanings of monumental and historical representation. One such key work occupied with the ‘passer-by’ featured David Harper, whom the artist had met on the streets around Central Saint Martin.Harper was modelled by the artist in an oversized bust which he later erected as an actual monument in his honour, at Barclay Square, London. Guy Brett commented “Each country has its own way of monumentalising famous people. Dimitrijevic has made humorous use of those customary in each country he has visited, the forms people implicitly accept as carrying an important message.” Pursuing his strategy of context-specific interventions, Dimitrijevic placed memorial plaques on Soho buildings engraved with the names of casual passers-by: “JOHN FOSTER LIVED HERE”. Similarly redolent of London’s blue plaques, the artist’s series ‘This could be a place of historical interest’ questions the parameters of historical representation. Holding considerable suggestive power, the phrase charges photographs of ordinary locations with perceptively significant meaning. ‘This could be a place of historical interest’ proposes how all places could be of potential ‘historical interest’, while simultaneously calling into question the category itself. Dimitrijevic’s practice continually interrogates the way in which historical and cultural meanings and values are constructed, a notion incapsulated in his statement “There are no mistakes in history, the whole of history is a mistake”" @default.
