NADA New York 2022

The series “Signs’’ by Vlada Ralko are her significant ones up today. The works from the series deliberately did not contain any clear meaning, at least on the surface. In 2008, when the artist was working on them, it would forestallthe question “What does that mean?”, suggesting instead of an explanation, thelack of content as vulnerability and challenge at the same time. Ralko wanted to turn the audience 180 degrees, to create a kind of vicious circle, where each issue is questionable due to the lack of response. This “something” has beensort of tearing or injuring the body from the inside and thus appeared on the surface.
