Back in 1766, Lessing laid the foundation for modern aesthetics with his work about the difference between poetics and visual arts, the famous statue of Laoco\u00f6n and His Sons. The pain and the tension the \u2018protagonists\u2019 of the sculpture feel are captured with a single moment that, paradoxically, lasts forever in front of the eyes of the viewer, who again and again sees just that one, single deciding moment.<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Whether we are looking at a sculpture in a museum or in the middle of a park, it will always attract attention with the frozen motion or an unusual object that it represents. Dominant in its stillness, the sculpture, just like art in general, went through different phases, changed its purpose, was the way of expressing critical attitude or provoking the public (remember Duchamp\u2019s Fountain, i.e., the urinal), but it always sends a certain message, and due to its silent eloquence, its power is far greater. We bring you a couple of sculptures and installations that will make you want to take a look at them closely, if you haven\u2019t already.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fight of Deer<\/span><\/h2>\n

In addition to the famous reversed clock, two bronze deer captured in a fight have been guarding the Petrovaradin Fortress since 1965. This is the work of the famous sculptor Jovan Soldatovi\u0107<\/strong> and was first exhibited in front of the Palace of Serbia in Belgrade. His sculptures are characterized by elongated and thin representations of animals, while his does, roes, storks and other sculptures adorn parks across the cities of the former Yugoslavia. The most famous Soldatovi\u0107\u2019s sculpture in Novi Sad is the Family monument, the Raid Victims Memorial, situated on the Quay. In addition to the aforementioned artworks, you\u2019ve probably noticed the monument to \u0110ura Jak\u0161i\u0107<\/strong> located in Dunavski Park, which Soldatovi\u0107 also sculpted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since 2019, the oldest part of the city, the Alma\u0161 neighbourhood, has been richer for one symbolic work which speaks of the potentials of modern sculptures in public spaces. A cuboid made by four artists was set up on the plateau in front of the Svilara Cultural Station<\/a>, within the closing ceremony of the Kaleidoscope of Culture<\/a>, which represents a legacy of Novi Sad as a European Capital of Culture. Representatives of European Capitals of Culture \u2013 Luka Kuli\u0107<\/strong> (Novi Sad), Danilo Vuksanovi\u0107<\/strong> (Novi Sad), Ljubo de Karina<\/strong> (Rijeka) and Ciprian Hopirtean<\/strong> (Timi\u015foara) made the reliefs that adorn the sculpture, depicting harmony of artistic strength and laying the groundwork for a new epoch of the cultural development of the city which the European Capital of Culture<\/a> title brought to Novi Sad.<\/span><\/p>\n
