ARTIST AS AUDIENCE
Series of twelve conversations
In cooperation with Mirjana Boba Stojadinovic, «Anonymous said:» organizes series of conversations on contemporary art production in the Cultural Center REX in the time period from April until July 2010.
The conversations are intended to start the research of the artist-art-institution-public field in the time frame of 2000 - 2010 in Serbia, and Belgrade in particular. They serve as a case study of the state of art and its reception. These conversations will allow identification some of the crucial issues in visual art in Serbia from the previous decade in a public discourse. Through an open discussion we wish to emphasize the necessity to argue the value and meaning the individual, within the general, audience gains from the art works, but also the ways the work is conveyed in public and mis/represented. We hope these carefully prepared conversations will allow the audience to focus on the presence (or perhaps absence) of visual art in the public domain and together to come up with examples, problems, questions, concerns of the contemporary visual art production in Serbia and cultural development in general.
The choice of the artists is based upon their extensive production of provocative and thought-through works and exposure to the audience (some of the most exhibited authors on the scene), the “official” selection of authors (national “representatives” on international manifestations, state institutions, artist who have had retrospectives, etc.), artists recognized internationally, in local gallery system, as well as a selection of some not so prominent, yet just as excellent works, whose choice is based upon different criteria that are of importance to the audience (e.g. the importance of the medium, striking the ‘underground’ culture, questioning the art system).
The project “Artist as Audience” takes upon a series of twelve conversations with the audience on the works of following artists: Saša Rakezić Zograf, comics author, journalist (21.04.2010); Nikoleta Marković, visual artist/activist (07.05.2010); Zoran Todorović, visual artist (28.05.2010); Igor Milovanović, designer (08.06.2010); Vesna Golubović, painter (22.06.2010); Miloš Tomić, visual artist designer (05.07.2010); Boris Šribar, sculptor; Mrđan Bajić, sculptor; Lana Vasiljević, visual artist/designer; Dušan Otašević, visual artist; Zoran Naskovski, visual/video artist; Dragana Ognjenović / Ana Ljubinković, artists and fashion designers.
The second series of six conversations will take place from September until December 2010.
The project is intended for the general audience as well as the professional public, especially students from all art academies, students of philosophy, art history, sociology, accomplished young experts from these areas, professional artists, theoreticians, critics, art historians. The conversations use common language and the topics are approached in such manner as not to give advantage to professional expression of thoughts and attitudes, though all opinions are welcome. .
Entrance is free and on our web site preparatory texts for each conversation are available in pdf format.
