Reform Torta

By Adrijana Gvozdenović

Screening followed by birthday cake

About the Event

During her residency at Hectolitre, Adrijana will share a new approach to portfolio documentation—as an intimate, embodied, and dialogical process. When one is not rooted in a single place, artworks and their contexts dissolve quickly, making the labor of translating across languages, countries, and art systems exhausting.

Reform Torta takes the form of a recipe video to produce a space where personal memory, professional motivation, and creative labor converge.

After the screening, we will cut a birthday cake and hang out.

About the Artist

Adrijana Gvozdenović (b. Titograd, 1986) is an artist-researcher and cultural worker. She develops relational, often collaborative approaches to question fixed notions of identity, authorship, and the role of the artist within institutional frameworks.

From 2017 to 2020, she was engaged in research at a.pass (Brussels) and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts (Antwerp), where she developed Archiving Artistic Anxieties—a project exploring artists’ motivations and their resistance to (self-)imposed structures. Through her hybrid formats, performances, and texts, she repositions art as a space for collective inquiry, self-education, and imaginative practices of mutual support and responsibility.

She is at Hectolitre with artist Vijai Patchineelam, her partner and collaborator, returning to Brussels to make cakes, reconnect with friends, and celebrate love and life.
