Biography

Born in 1949 in Belgrade. In 1982, he graduated from the Faculty of Architecture in Skopje. He also studied History of Art with Archeology at the Faculty of Philosophy in Skopje. His work includes various procedures and disciplines: architecture, scenography, painting, drawing, collage, ready-made, installations, interventions, actions. With his participatory projects from the 1970s, realized outside of the museum-gallery system, he stands out as one of the key figures of the conceptual discourse in Macedonian art. From 1980 to 1985 he was actively engaged in scenography. Together with Krste Dzidrov, he created scenographies for the Theater Workshop at the Aesthetic Laboratory of the Faculty of Philosophy in Skopje (1980-1982) as well as scenographies for professional theaters, for which they received several awards.  Apart from Skopje, he also worked and lived on the Italian island of Capri, where he realized a large number of solo exhibitions. He died on December 10, 2018 in Skopje.
