Art Is Experience
โ
Through my journey in the art world, I have encountered countless pieces that inspire hope and imagination. These artworks transport us to realms beyond the ordinary, where limitations are shattered, and visions thrive. As a collector, I seek out pieces that challenge conventions, provoke thought, and offer glimpses of a (better) future. As a curator, my mission is to assemble exhibitions that showcase artists who explore uncharted territories, inviting the audience to question the status quo and envision a world transformed. Embracing this belief in every brushstroke, pixel and sculpted form, I strive to share the boundless potential that art offers to shape a world that transcends limitations and welcomes possibilities.”
Curating the Now
โ
For me, every exhibition is a movie. It has a plot, a structure, a beginning, and an end, with some sort of climax in between. It follows a linear progression, as your body can occupy only one point in space at a time, thereby giving it a duration as well. With each exhibition, I ask myself: What kind of movie is this going to be? An action thriller, drama, comedy, or perhaps an erotic film? How do we structure the exhibition? What impression do we want to give the visitor right from the start? Do we begin with a wild car chase or a slow helicopter flight over the open sea? Does someone get shot with a loud bang right away, or do we start with a long, abstract detail blending into an opening scene? What is the conceived soundtrack that we hear in our minds while immersing into the works? How do we guide someone through space, time, and the narrative? How do we tell the story, organize the sequences, and manipulate experience?”

EXHIBITION OF SERBIAN CONTEMPORARY ART
IN BERLIN
The Embassy of the Republic of Serbia in the Federal Republic of Germany, in collaboration with Denis Leo Hegic Projects, presents the exhibition โFUTUROSPEKTIVA.โ
The exhibition offers an overview of contemporary Serbian art from the Denis Leo Hegic collection, featuring works by Vladan Sibinoviฤ, Marija ล oln, Tijana Titin, Aleksandra Brankoviฤ, Marko Laฤuลกiฤ, Andrej Bjeliฤ and Filip Blek.
Bringing together different artistic positions across painting, drawing and conceptual work, โFUTUROSPEKTIVAโ engages with questions of identity, visual language and the present moment. References to heritage meet forward-looking perspectives, opening a view onto contemporary Serbian art within a broader international context.
Join us for a dialogue between generations, places, languages and artistic approaches, shaped by the tension between past, present and future.

Columns
Mountain
Near
February 26, 2026
โ
A village cannot be brought into the city. A mountain cannot be exhibited. You cannot shrink it and put it in a frame. A mountain demands the body, duration, and the willingness to give up the idea that one is always right.”
How I Killed
My Father
February 12, 2026
โ
It began with him killing his son first. Not in the crime pages, not in a police report. He killed him where such killings are never counted: in a look, in a posture, in the way a child learns to enter a room more quietly than his own breath. The body gets used to a blow. The soul never gets used to shame.”
Ramo, Ramo
druลพe moj
(The Man
Who Edited
the World)
October 09, 2025
โ
Ramo was rewriting history so there would be room for him in it as well. We, kids from the mahala, believed every single one of his words. Not because they were convincing, but because we wanted the world to stretch far enough to include us too. How did his absurd stories shape the careers of conceptual art superstars such as Braco Dimitrijeviฤ and Marina Abramoviฤ?”
How Can We Talk
About Beauty?
August 28, 2025
โ
How do we cultivate optimism and keep it alive? Landscape architect Mirjana Lausevic and curator Denis Leo Hegic speak about beauty as the antidote to the cult of convenience.”
The Wall, the Body:
and the Instant
July 24, 2025
โ
A conversation with Marija ล oln about art in urban space, about concept and distance, about explanation and action and why all of it can at times be on the edge of control.”
Art for the People:
or People for the Art?
Mai 01, 2025
โ
Who is art really for – the people or the patrons?ย
Between market-driven spectacle and state-funded illusion, art still finds ways to rebel, resist, and reach us.”
Godard Bardot: Between Image and Memory
March 06, 2025
โ
Some films are stories, some are images, and some are concepts. Le Mรฉpris is all of these at once. It is one of the first postmodern works in cinema โ a film that questions its own form, its own images, and its own truth. Yet perhaps images always function this way โ they deconstruct, reassemble, and can never be fully trusted.”

A Primer on
Contemporary Art
August 29, 2024
โ
Contemporary art often sparks debates and differing opinions among the public, critics, and even the artists themselves. To help you navigate the world of contemporary, curator Denis Leo Hegic has prepared a primer on key concepts.”
(Digital) Art is the Most
Beautiful Lie
July 25, 2024
โ
When I was a child, I would disassemble anything I could get my hands on just to peek inside and understand the technology around me. Many cassette players fell victim to this curiosity, as I often made mistakes during reassembly and didn’t put some parts back correctly. But the point is: even if I didn’t grasp the entire technology, I certainly understood the principle of how things work.”
Aleksandra Will
Reconcile the World
July 4, 2024
โ
And what am I supposed to do now with Aleksandra who fascinates me and at the same time drives me crazy? I must not follow her idea of a better world, because every time I have given in to such ideas, I have woken up with a broken nose and covered in blood.”
Dear Elonโ,
June 06, 2024
โ
Your cars are conquering the world, your satellites are orbiting the Earth, and according to an Instagram meme, you actually come from Doboj. Regardless, I’m writing to tell you that while you might have taken Tesla, we’ll never give up Stojadin.”
Mercedes-Benz
Sunk in the River
April 25, 2024
โ
The artist Zhao Bandi has created a piece depicting a Mercedes hanging from a crane over the Yellow River. Bandi’s work illustrates the impending clash between China’s collective socialist ethos and the seductive sweetness of consumerism. What’s particularly intriguing is the artist’s exceptional foresight in predicting the eventual downfall of Western status symbols.”
Do you see me
in Cyrillic?
March 21, 2024
โ
On which eye are we blind to Cyrillic? For a perspective sight, we need both. Hence, there is no vantage point with one of them closed. Accepting Cyrillic in a contemporary artistic context means stepping into a relatively unexplored territory โ and in the abundance of creativity we live in, unexplored fields are rare to find.”
There Is No Good Art
Without Conflict
February 29, 2024
โ
In the heart of every great artistic story lies conflict โ without it, there is nothing worth telling.
Good art has never sprung from the calm waters of tranquil lakes, but is forged in the searing hotbeds of conflict. To think that good art can arise from some carefree existence is as much a wrong belief as thinking a phoenix can grow from a woolen nest, rather than from the ashes of its own demise. Conflict is the chisel that transforms the raw material of creativity into shapes that transcend. Masterpieces that have left their mark on the canvas of history are not the fruit of content minds, but of turbulent souls who battled with their demons, the injustices of society, or the horror of human existence.”
Belgrade is Not
Berlin of the Nineties
December 26, 2023
โ
The nineties, so characteristic for Berlin, were also a turning point for the situation in our regions. While the Berlin audience, amidst a wave of geopolitical changes in Europe and the world, was discovering and celebrating techno music, we experienced war, bombs, destruction, and absolute dystopia. “
Don't Change, Sanja
November 2, 2023
โ
Our joint curatorship reminds me of moments of disturbing turbulences on a plane when the flight attendants exchange glances, and you think: ‘Damn, if they are worried, so am I’.”
Going Full Speed with
Ema Bregovic
October 12, 2023
โ
In Ema’s studio, everything seems to be a bit larger than in the world outside of it, and I feel like Alice’s best friend in the rabbit hole.”
Art is the Ultimate
Status Symbol
September 24, 2023
โ
Art transcends the ordinary. Art takes us on an emotional journey, challenges our assumptions, and transforms the living room into a gallery. Perhaps we won’t always understand it, but that’s part of its charm. Because true luxury is not in practicality; true luxury is in expanding horizons and embracing the unexpected. As a collector, you are not just a person with a home; you become a curator of the human spirit, a guardian of cultural heritage, and a creator of taste.”
The Whole World is Asleep: Oleg Kuznetsov's Midnight Express
September 21, 2023
โ
The understanding of time in Oleg’s photographs is a matter of negotiation. The red ‘Atak’ logo on the plastic bag of the woman in fur has been appearing for months, as have the shoes she’s worn while traversing many sidewalks of the Russian capital. With Oleg’s photographs, we become very vigilant observers. We are woke. They’re dormant. The grandma in fur is asleep. But always ready to unleash an ‘Attack’ lurking from her plastic bag.”
My Human Fallibility Is Better
Than Your Artificial Intelligence
August 17, 2023
โ
The perspective of our future collaboration with AI in the creative process will lie precisely in our human imperfection. We will become more aware of our own fallibility, but also of its potential because, to be candid, this is the sole asset we can offer in opposition to the omnipotence of artificial intelligence.”
