The photographer, sculptor, and installation artist Sanja Ivekovic (CR) has been closely associated with a feminist art movement since the 1960s, her subjects often focusing on women's roles, in society and the private sphere. Her work, though conceptual, cross-pollinates between the avant-garde and broader cultural sphere. Of particular resonance is the use of mass-market visual language to illustrate shifts in societal and political perceptions of the time. Her forms of production can be seen as a comment on commercial modes, and reflect an opposition to the institutional settings of the formal art world, but they remain elastic, and ambivalent, too.
