Bio
Born in Novi Sad (Serbia), and lives in Québec since 2005. Milutin Gubash has mounted exhibitions in Québec, Canada, the United States, and Europe. His practice encompasses photography, video, and performance, and regularly features the participation of his family and friends. Using simple means and often comical gestures, the uncertainties within conventional domestic and social roles are up-ended, and we are asked to follow the artist in reconsidering our relationship to our own identities and environments.
