|
Digital expressionist artist (1974, MKD). MFA New Media (DUK University, Linz, Austria); 30+ international solo and group shows in USA, Germany, Austria, Italy, Turkey, Macedonia, etc. Featured in national TV programs, newspapers and magazines.
My work is transdisciplinary, combining digital prints, performance and video, and deals with issues of liminality and the constant
shifting/production of identity, territory, public space and social change.

Digital print (limited edition, signed). "The production process of Poposki's latest series of ‘expressive portraits’ starts with the photographs of his friends (whose names give the titles of the works) who, by means of a dadaist method of chance, select sentences from works of trivial literature, and in turn that quote becomes their personal ‘statement’. According to the author, the title of the exhibition – HUSH, should be read in terms of Lacan’s ‘muteness’, that is the inability to express something, whereas the randomly chosen sentences, which don’t correspond to their life situations but at the same time strangely correspond to them, tell us something about them after all. The interpretation of these sentences leads us to an entirely different, quasi-serious extreme, even to a psychoanalytical approach in our attempt at perceiving each person and its ‘statement’. - Maja Cankulovska, Museum of Contemporary Art Skopje |

Political consensus is key to EU Integration
2008 digital print 98x200 cm |
|
This series of digital prints for billboards draws upon a wide array of artistic strategies traditionally used by abstraction (the liberating power of randomness, chaos, gestures), while at the same time recontextualizing them and translating them into the language of new media.
The starting point in the process is the media, i.e. news coverage of national and global political issues. In this case, the process starts with a news story about the political dialogue in Macedonia, under the headline Political consensus holds key to European integration. In the contemporary, digital version of the aleatory principle, the headline is searched in Google Images, and the search results thus obtained serve as raw material which is later digitally edited. |

Work #2 in the series started with the news story entitled At least 14 killed in separate attacks in Iraq, of 17 December 2007. The search of the title through Google Images returned some 2,500 results, including photographs of George Bush, 9/11, soldiers, weapons, maps, Slavoj Žižek, etc. |

Macedonia clash leaves two dead
2008 digital print 98 x 200 cm |
|
Work #4 started with a BBC News story about the recent security problems in Macedonia, entitled Macedonia clash leaves two dead (BBC News, 10 Sep 2007). The Google Images search of the headline returned some 50 images (see screenshot), including maps (surprisingly mostly of Iraq), soldiers, ABBA, Aristotle, Abraham Lincoln, fighter jets, parrots, and soccer. |
The name issue
2008 digital print 98 x 200 cm |
|
Work #5, entitled “The name issue (Greece and Macedonia to restart talks on name)” had its beginnings in a New York Times article of 6 Dec 2007 about the ongoing dispute between Greece and Macedonia regarding how the latter country should call itself, under the headline Greece and Macedonia to Restart Talks on Name. The Google Images search of the headline returned 177 results. |
