life and work

Milan Mijalkovic studied architecture in Skopje in 2001, and in 2002 he moved to the Vienna University of Technology , where he completed his architecture studies in 2010. During his studies he also began to occupy himself increasingly with art. In his work, he scrutinizes burning or latent conflicts, the perception of which is reinterpreted through various media (sculpture, argument, photography, book, architecture, live performance).

“Liberal democracy is in danger. Their cornerstones are sawed in and the stability of the social structure is shaken. This scenario, which political scientists illustrate in times of right-wing populist success, does not affect Milan Mijalkovic directly - the concept of democracy that he uses in his artistic work is not impaired by daily politics, nor by technological developments that determine opinion formation and counteract popular education . The speech refers to the origins of democracy, its interplay with human history and natural events, its rituals in public and its appearance in everyday life. In doing so, he draws on archaic images and gestures, on the iconography of power and representation, on well-tried formats of communication and conveying ideas. Ultimately everything has its finger on the pulse "

- Anna Soucek : Vienna University of Technology

Many of his works focus on individual human fates, especially that of migrant workers. One of his best-known works is the Viennese Maria, with which he drew attention to the situation of migrant workers in Vienna in August 2018. As "Milan Mijalkovic of Macedonia" he addresses autobiographically inspired conflict situations in his performance art.
