The exhibition "Art Always Has Its Consequences" considers the "politics of
exhibiting" and, by including historic
works and new productions, archive material and research documentation,
reconstructing and reinterpreting paradigmatic
artistic and exhibition positions from the 1950s until today, shows the
historical continuity of similar art experiments
which question the social role of art.
The exhibition has emerged as a result of a two-year collaborative project of
the organizations tranzit. hu from
Budapest, Muzeum Sztuki from Lodz, New Media Centre_kuda.org from Novi Sad and
What, How and for Whom/WHW from Zagreb.
Through various formats the project deals with topics connected with the
modernistic inheritance and joint history. The
research was directed towards a specific historical, economic and political
context and also towards the forming of
internationally recognized "universal" norms, in relationship to which the
exhibited art practices try to affirm
historical continuity and to question their own context.
As the result of years of collaborative practice, the exhibition "Art Always
Has Its Consequences" is based on the
temporary and current constellation of ongoing researches trying to draw
parallels and define touching points of
different related practices, and despite the accent on art production from
Eastern Europe, in no sense is there any
ambition to offer a homogenising picture of the "Eastern European" art of the
last few decades, nor to yield to
statistics as a policy of presentation.
The title "Art Always Has Its Consequences" is taken from the conceptual text
of Mladen Stilinović "Footwriting" from
1984, and refers to research of the relationship which art has with reality,
but also to the equal importance of
internal, intrinsically art procedures by which art is repeatedly "limited" to
the field of art. The exhibition is being
held at the Kulmer Palace on Katarinski Square in Zagreb, and the presented art
works and investigations are confronted
with the material and ideological memory of the building itself, which for
years served as the main space of the Gallery
of Contemporary Art, later renamed to the Museum of Contemporary Art. The
exhibition confronts contemporary approaches
with the strategies used in the past, inviting the reading of the presented
works in relation to the questions of the
role and responsibility of art institutions, the way in which they are
positioned towards the economic and ideological
circumstances and the way in which they contribute to the forming of cultural
influences and hegemonisation of certain
norms.
The exhibition "Art Always Has Its Consequences" opens on 8 May, on the Day of
the Liberation of Zagreb in 1945. Today,
at a time of epoch-making realignment in relation to the Second World War and
the tendency of equating Nazism and
Communism under the general term "totalitarianism", this choice of date is
dedicated to the emancipatory sequence of the
National Liberation Struggle as the basic point of reference from which we can
look into the future.
A publication documenting the project will be published in August 2010.
The exhibition has been realized in collaboration with 3rd Subversive Film
Festival, whose theme this year is Socialism. www.subversivefilmfestival.com
