Upcoming Solo Show at Contour Gallery:
"The Incomplete Compendium of the Invisible World as Compiled by Lana Mesic"
Join us on Sunday, November 10th at 15:00 for the opening of my first-ever solo show at Contour Gallery.
It all came together fast—just like the past 12.5 years of making art—but I'm super siked to share this journey with you. The Incomplete Compendium of the Invisible World captures the stories, questions, and unexpected failures that have shaped my practice.
Hope to see your friendly faces there

Honoured to be part of the “Ladekast” exhibition at Phoebus gallery curated by Mirjam Westen.
Gallerist Mirjam de Winter organised this legendary show since the 90’s and this time the theme was ‘(Un)balancing Power Relations’. My piece, “Comrade Tito is Dead/Spectre,” is in great company with 15 other amazing female artists.

URANIA BERLIN
In this interdisciplinary group show, nine artists from central, eastern, and southeastern Europe explore nation, belonging, autonomy, self-determination, identity, and leave-taking, in works that are both very intimate and highly political.
The war in Ukraine is a turning point. Wars shifts borders of all kinds: personal, political, and moral. What happens to human beings when they become subject to these shifting borders? How is it possible to process such overwhelming experiences? And how can they be expressed in artistic explorations?
The artists invited to exhibit here investigate shifting internal and external boundaries in their works: What does it mean to long for a homeland that no longer exists? Because, for example, you were born in a country that is no longer on the map, or is currently occupied and destroyed? Childhood memories of the 1990s, of the wars in the Balkans and the transformation processes in the post-Socialist countries play a role in grappling with these questions. What is the Material of the Nation and who controls it?
When you point your finger there are three point back
Excited to announce that I am working on a new body of work dealing with the idea of being born in a country that doesn't exist any more. Under the watchful eye of Frank van der Stok the project is gaining momentum.
