Vojislav Radovanović (pronounced: Voy-slav; Rad-ova-no-vich) is a Serbian artist-curator and producer based in Los Angeles, California. Born in 1982 in Valjevo, Serbia (formerly Yugoslavia), he grew up amid the Yugoslav Wars, experiences that have profoundly influenced his artwork, which advocates for beauty, environmentalism, mental health, decolonization, and societal transformation. In 2017, at 35, Vojislav relocated to Los Angeles.
Vojislav’s career in television production and journalism spans several prominent Serbian TV networks, including Belgrade's oldest Local TV channel, Studio B, and two national channels: TV Avala and Radio Television of Serbia (RTS 1 and RTS 2), where he served as producer, director, and on-air host. His cultural programming emphasized architecture, art, and heritage in shows like Gradologija (the show's name combines two words: "Grad" - Serbian for "city" and "Logia" - Greek for "sayings") at TV Studio B.
His work includes directing high-profile TV documentaries, live news anchoring, and video editing. He also served as a local producer for the Balkans, for Artyčok TV, a European platform that promotes young contemporary artists, further showcasing his expertise in documenting and promoting culture. Radovanović began his YouTube channel, Art Documents, in 2009, where he shared TV reports and documentary films produced for other production companies. After relocating to Los Angeles, he co-founded L.A. Art Documents as an independent production company in 2018 with artist Jason Jenn. The company focuses on producing video documentation of art exhibitions, interviews, and films dedicated to the vibrant contemporary art scene in Los Angeles and beyond.
Although Radovanović was primarily known as a TV personality in Serbia until 2015, he always integrated his artistic practice into his daily routine as a form of self-healing and therapy. He has also made occasional public presentations of various artistic projects he has created over the years.
At the age of fifteen, Radovanović held his first solo exhibition at the National Museum of Valjevo and enrolled in the University of Fine Arts in Belgrade a year before he was set to finish high school in his hometown. He received training for the first two years as a printmaker and painter under a traditional academy curriculum and attended a newly established multimedia program for the next three years, where he was introduced to new media and contemporary art. He graduated in 2005. Since then, Radovanović has presented his work internationally in both group and solo exhibitions. Notable institutions include the Belgrade City Museum and the Museum of Yugoslavia in Serbia; the Centre of Contemporary Art in Toruń, Poland; Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, Spain; UNESCO Headquarters and The Swedish Institute in Paris, France; Mall Galleries in London, UK; and various institutions in California, USA, including the Lancaster Museum of Art and History, Bakersfield Museum of Art, Torrance Art Museum, Angels Gate Cultural Center, and Brea Art Gallery. He was also a fellow artist-in-residence at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History during the 2021-2022 term as part of the Mellon Foundation’s Artists at Work program. Vojislav also actively works as an independent curator.
Radovanović’s diverse artistic practice encompasses painting, drawing, time-based installations, performance, photography, and film. His work explores themes such as the relationship between art and well-being, mental health, LGBTQ+ identity, the immigrant experience, and disrupted cultural narratives. He views art as a powerful tool for healing, transformation, and connection.
