Vesna Jovanovic
Pretty sure I pronounced Vesna’s last name wrong… Opps.

But here it is the long awaited conversation and the return of a former host.

From the International Museum of Surgical Science…

Vesna Jovanovic is a Chicago-based visual artist who specializes in conceptualizations of the human body. Using spilled ink as groundwork, she creates drawings that often formally resemble medical illustration while concentrating on what is usually left out: how it feels and what it means to have a body as well as how the body is culturally perceived. With drawing as a bodily act and medical illustration as a visual trope, Jovanovic brings embodiment, biopolitics, phenomenology, and various other ideas and theories of the human body into her work.
