Tatjana Macić is an interdisciplinary visual artist and writer, from Nis in former Yugoslavia, whose work bridges art, theory and language. She is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

“Born in a country that no longer exists, I explore what roles belonging, memory and humour play in society and in our private lives. My work is an alchemical laboratory where questions become body gestures, images or stories." - quote from a lecture Autobiographical Research in 2024.

Her versatile practice spans science-fiction inspired performances (Intergalactic Pollinators), installations with found objects (Leftovers), artistic archives, interventions (Discourse Games), lecture performances (Performing Theory), paintings, poetry and digital art. In 2010, Macić notably became the first artist to sell a digital artwork in an auction.
Her work has been exhibited at established and experimental venues, including Tate Modern, Venice Biennale Collateral Events, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and W139.

Macić is lecturer at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague (KABK).

She was a Research Fellow (2022-2024) at the Lectorate Art Theory and Practice at KABK, published an essay On Assemblage and organised symposium Body as Proxy.
