Drina Gallery Gallery in Belgrade
Vračar · Contemporary programme
Editorial Profile
Founded in 2016 in the Vračar district, Drina Gallery operates as a multidisciplinary platform for contemporary art with a programmatic interest in bridging Southeastern European practices with broader international circuits. Named after the river that historically marked a regional divide, the gallery has built its identity around the idea of transcultural mediation, working as both an exhibition space and a producer of artworks, publications, and curatorial collaborations. Its program, frequently shaped by curator Nataša Radojević, moves across painting, sculpture, drawing, multimedia and installation, with sustained attention to artists whose work engages questions of perception, memory, and the shifting conditions of post-socialist space. The roster has paired Serbian and regional voices such as Miloš Todorović, Mile Šaula, Mina Radović, Marko Lađušić and Veljko Vučković with Italian and overseas artists, including a long-running dialogue with Giuseppe Pietroniro and the broader Over and Above project of Italian and Serbo-Croatian artists.
Within the contemporary art scene of Belgrade, the gallery occupies a position distinct from both the city's larger public institutions and its more strictly experimental, artist-run spaces, functioning instead as a privately operated structure with a commercial dimension and a research-oriented curatorial approach. It has cultivated cross-border partnerships with venues such as Aria Art Gallery in Florence and the Italian Institute of Culture in Belgrade, alongside publishing collaborations with Silvana Editoriale, situating itself within a Mediterranean and Central European axis of exchange. In a landscape of galleries in Belgrade where commercial infrastructure remains relatively young, its engagement with both emerging and mid-career figures contributes to the gradual professionalization of the local market and to the visibility of regional artists abroad.
