The Contemporary Art Institute – ARKIV në Pejë will host the solo exhibition of artist Burim Berisha, titled “RESIDUE.” The show is scheduled to open on April 18th and will run through September 30th. Berisha’s artistic practice, spanning over five decades, forms the core of this presentation. In “RESIDUE,” the artist approaches sculpture not as a static object, but as a process of perception.
The work constructs the figure indirectly, utilizing traces, various materials, and the interplay between what is present and what is absent. The exhibition incorporates installations that engage with sensory elements such as sound, smoke, and dust. Through these mediums, the work prompts a reflection on themes of memory, transformation, and the lasting impact following an event, person, or object.
Critically, the concept of residue is explored not merely as a passive remnant. Instead, the residue is framed as an active trace—one that continues to generate meaning and reinforce understanding. This comprehensive arkiv of artistic inquiry invites viewers to examine how absence itself can become a form of presence, solidifying Berisha’s sustained engagement with the nature of material memory within contemporary art.
