Born in Novi Sad (Serbia) and living in Québec since 2005, Milutin Gubash has mounted exhibitions in Québec, Canada, the United States and Europe, including shows at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal (“LOTS”, 2007), Optica (“Born Rich, Getting Poorer”, 2009), Galerie 3015 in Paris and RLBQ in Marseille (“Which Way to the Bastille?”, 2008). His practice encompasses photography, video, and performance, and regularly features the participation of his family and friends, who portray versions of themselves in Gubash’s Do-It-Yourself sitcoms, soap operas, family photos, and improv theatre pieces. Using simple means and often comical gestures, conventional domestic, social and professional roles are mixed up and up-ended as we are invited to follow the artist in reconsidering our own identities and environments.
