Zvezdana Rogic's installation, Out of Context: Moving Through the Zone of Separation, consists of two sculpture projects: Letters/Slova, and Vuko-mobile in New York. Both works draw from the artist's experience as a Serbian in America, and are engaged in a discourse of identity formation in relation to contemporary international politics.

In Letters/Slova, letter forms of various materials hang about the gallery in clusters, forming words in two languages, English and Serbian (formerly, Serbo-Croatian). The words chosen form an uneasy linguistic constellation. No grouping amounts to a sentence. Rather, as linguistic connectors of divergent realms of meaning, the words function as tools of negotiation.

Vuko-mobile in New York, a collaboration with Steven Brower, explores public protest speech in Yugoslavia and its altered ramifications through transplantation into New York City. It can be seen as a personal extension of the democratic protest of the winter of 96/97 in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

On the gallery floor is a small replica of a vehicle that was used in the demon-strations as a mobile podium for protest speakers. The work mourns the loss of protest as it is pays homage to the ingenious design of this hybrid vehicle/stage.

Zvezdana Rogic received a BA from Cooper Union For the Advancement of Art and Science and attended the Whitney Independent Study Program, NYC. Her work has been exhibited at Chamber and White Columns, NYC. Following her exhibition at Momenta, Rogic had a solo exhibition at the Brooklyn Public Library, Brooklyn, NY.
