Asja Mijovic is a conceptual artist and curator from Podgorica, based between Podgorica, Paris, and New York. Her practice spans sculpture, installation, and video, often grounded in material experimentation and the poetics of decay. Much of her inspiration comes from chance encounters: moments stumbled upon in transit, when the body is still but the world moves. She seeks out these encounters through long train rides, aimless walks, and believing in the luck and intuition of movement.
After receiving an HMC scholarship to attend Ashford School in the United Kingdom, she went on to graduate with dual bachelor’s degrees: a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Civic Studies from Tufts University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston with full scholarship. She was awarded an exchange fellowship to study a semester at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris and received the Joyce McDaniel Prize for Excellence in Sculpture.
Asja is passionate collaborator and regularly works with artists of different mediums on curatorial, music and film projects. She has co-curated exhibitions in Germany, Montenegro, France, and the United States, and held roles in public relations at Karma Gallery and Bortolami Gallery. She currently serves as Communications Coordinator at My Balkans.
