Sing Mare, Sing my Precious... is an intermedia setting focused on gender and other stereotypes, which define the role of women in our society. Installation maps gender as a socially constructed pattern.

A festive red carpet leads to the central piece, the painting-installation “Sing Maro, Sing My Precious”. The painting is inspired by the work of the famous French artist from the era of romanticism, Théodore Géricault piece, The Raft of the Medusa. Instead of the characters in the original painting I introduce our contemporaries who, in a rapture, celebrate one of the most venerated customs in Montenegro – the birth of a son/heir/rifleman/bloodline extender. Of course, as befits the celebration, the painting features the use of all sorts of weapons.  This painting is not mounted on a wall; rather, it levitates in space, like a warning hovering over our heads or standing in the way.

Additionally, the back of the painting features “Recipes for obtaining a male offspring”. Observes has also the possibility to write down their own recipe on the back of the painting. Behind it, the entire wall is flooded with such recipes and various tips,  ranging from different sources, as well as mathematical formulas or folk remedies and teas.  The painting is placed in a golden frame, and a ceremonial red carpet leads to it, as if it were in the Louvre, where the original painting is exhibited. This artistic gesture further reinforces the irony of the whole situation”.  

During the exhibition a provocative gift was distributed for the public- Tea for male offspring. Along the installation the observer is forced to constantly listen to several repeating verses of Montenegrin folk wedding song Sing Mare, My Little Lamb, which at times become unbearable.
