Exhibit to feature work of Bosnian artist An exhibit of work by Endi Poskovic, an instructor of art at UB, will be on view Nov. 12-March 19 in the Burchfield-Penney Art Center. Titled "Europa Series -- Alter Crux III," Poskovic's site-specific installation includes painting, lithographs and found objects placed in alcoves and on the walls, each serving as a distinct gathering place or altar. A native of Bosnia, Poskovic's installation deals with the impact of religious ideologies on his heritage, as well as other cultures of the world. He uses symbols of the four religions of his homeland -- Islam, Orthodox Christianity, Roman Catholicism and Judaism -- juxtaposed with architectural fragments to underscore the ideas of coexistence and diversity. Poskovic studied at the School of Applied Arts and the Academy of Fine Arts in Sarajevo and at Nordmore Folke Hogh Skole in Surnadal, Norway. He received his M.F.A. from UB in 1993.
