In 1956 she graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Belgrade. Though she studied painting under the supervision of the modernist painter Milo Milunović, she pursued cultural practices that criticized and transcended both socialist realism and socialist modernism, and became one of the founders and collaborators of the radical program agenda of the Youth Forum Cultural Center in Novi Sad. Her own artistic work was formed within a spectrum between modernist painting close to abstraction and modern graphic design. Her explorations of enformel developed towards post-painting practices: visual poetry, conceptual art, new artistic practice, explorations of communication and new media, especially video art. Later, her artistic work led her away from "creating art objects' towards exploration of the procedures of artwork's production, as well as modes of communication and new-media presentations of intersubjective relations. Her interest in the post-painting practices was expressed in writing in her "a-critical criticism', published in the Novi Sad's art magazines Polja, Index, Új Symposion, WOW, Belgrade's magazines Student and Treći program Radio Beograda (Radio Belgrade 3), as well as in the Ljubljana's magazine dedicated to film, Ekran (The Screen). In the domain of experimental and extended art practices, her research was primarily focused on behavioral art and communication art, which induced her explorations of new media (sound, tape-recording, super 8 film, and video) and post-media practices (performance art, actionism, and interventionism). She was also engaged in the work of the alternative theater scene of Novi Sad as an actor. Together with her life and art partner Dejan Poznanović, she collaborated with famous film director Želimir Žilnik and Novi Sad's radical art groups such as KoD and Bosch + Bosch and performer/poet/actress Katalin Ladik. In 1965 she became a lecturer at the Fine Arts Department of the College of Pedagogy in Novi Sad, followed by full-time professorship at the Academy of Art in Novi Sad since 1986. In 1980 she founded the Visual Studio for Intermedia Explorations, with primary focus on exploring and producing video art. Bogdanka Poznanović was the first professor of new media and video art in Yugoslavia. Today she lives and works in Novi Sad (2012). -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
