FIRST OF ITS KIND
THANK YOU FOR VISITING.
MY NAME IS ALEKSANDER CURIC, AND I AM AN INTERDISCIPLINARY, EXPERIMENTAL ARTIST AND DESIGNER, REWARDED FOR INNOVATION.
ON THIS PAGE, YOU CAN VIEW SPATIAL STRIP INSTALLATIONS, RECOGNIZED BY SEVERAL ART AUTHORITIES AS "FIRST OF ITS KIND". THESE INSTALLATIONS HAVE RECEIVED A PROMINENT AWARD ON INTERNATIONAL ART SALOON, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT MEDIA ATTENTION. IN GENERAL, ALL MY ART IS A PLAY WITH MULTIDIMENSIONALITY IN VARIOUS WAYS, FROM SIMPLE TO VERY COMPLEX. ALSO, IN MY TOPICS I STRONGLY INCORPORATE JUNGIAN PSYCHOLOGY, OFTEN ALLUDING TO MYSTICAL EXPERIENCES AS WELL AS A DYSTOPIAN SURREALISM. IN ESSENCE EVERYTHING YOU WILL SEE HERE IS NOTHING BUT THE STORYTELLING, DONE IN A WAY THAT IS JUST DIFFERENT.

ART & MULTIDIMENSIONALITY
To start, on this page, I present Spatial Strip, my work that received a prestigious award for innovation at the 9th international comic salon in Belgrade. Although this is the work that garnered the most recognition, as you can see on this page, in terms of a multidimensional approach, it is the most straightforward. It's a comic strip art piece that has moved from paper into a spatial frame and has become an installation.
More complex is my graphic short story collection, YOU, which has a similar interplay with its observer as the movie "Mirror" by Tarkovsky. Those who choose to read it and immerse themselves in it will discover that they can't be sure if they are reading the work or if it is reading them. Is the work talking to them, or is it actually listening? It is a piece for deep and intimate reflection, adding another dimension in this case, which is psychological.
However, my most complex multidimensional work is undoubtedly my interdisciplinary music, named "Story about Cfkoil megacorp." I won't talk much about it here, but if you listen to its instructions carefully, you may experience a real multidimensional experience because this album is capable of taking you into a parallel world only if you allow it and give it time.
My life has been anything but a predictable story. I have personal experiences that led me to play with multidimensionality in this way. One day I may open up and speak out about everything I have experienced. You may find a glimpse of it in my biography, but I assure you it's nothing compared to my full, personal story. It was a fantastic adventure in the first place, both real and surreal. But for now, I can only offer my art as the consequence of such experiences.
Although, on this page, my English version of art is divided into only three categories, if you are, by any chance, somebody who speaks any language from ex-Yugoslavia, you may find a much richer opus of art on the Serbian version of this website. Until I translate more, this is what I have for English speakers.
Enjoy the ride!

GRAPHIC STORIES
”...strongly and in a very suggestive way, Aleksander asks the questions of man; his all psychological aspects and all of its civilization legacies man carries with him. That need, to reveal all the deceptions, and to clear misunderstandings leads Aleksander into numerous dynamical adventures producing various characters, which live through their metamorphosis...

MUSIC AND MULTIMEDIA
CFKOIL multimedia album is a combination of music, video and a narative. It tells a story about dystopian world, after year 2032. existing in so called Upgraded Capitalism existential system. "Upgraded Capitalism" drastic paradigm shift, saved the world after deepest depression in history. Between the year 2016. and 2032. when we almost lost entire civilization... However this is far more than interdisciplinary story. This work is the discovery of a completely new world. In a way that might be surprised to you.
