Should I Stay Or Should I Go
Should I Stay or Should I Go Solo exhibition by Nada Prlja at NI Museum of Contemporary Art, Skopje, Macedonia 2008 Curator Zoran Petrovski Prlja's project Should I Stay or Should I Go is a brutal illustration of the socio-political processes that belong to the current reality of less self-sufficient, financially dependent countries. By raising issues related to fair trade in this post-industrial society, the project strives to communicate with and to alert the public about the workers' reality of today, with the intention of raising the general awareness and of making a direct change in contemporary society, by blurring the division between financially stronger and weaker societies. For the...
Turbo-folk Music and Cultural Representations of National Identity in Former Yugoslavia
Turbo-folk music is the most controversial form of popular culture in the new states of former Yugoslavia. Theoretically ambitious and innovative, this book is a new account of popular music that has been at the centre of national, political and cultural debates for over two decades. Beginning with 1970s Socialist Yugoslavia, Uroš Čvoro explores the cultural and political paradoxes of turbo-folk: described as ’backward’ music, whose misogynist and Serb nationalist iconography represents a threat to cosmopolitanism, turbo-folk’s iconography is also perceived as a ’genuinely Balkan’ form of resistance to the threat of neo-liberalism. Taking as its starting point turbo-folk’s popu...
Beyond Matter, Within Space
Exhibition spaces are physical places of knowledge production and exchange. Their spatial properties play an important role in contextualizing information. Virtual stagings of exhibitions should therefore retain these properties. The Beyond Matter research project (2019–23) aims to unravel the intertwining of physical and virtual structures and their impact on spatial aspects in art production, curating, and art education, and thus to identify ways to preserve cultural heritage in the digital age. This publication offers a comprehensive overview of the diverse research activities, exhibition and book projects, and symposia that have taken place or emerged in the course of the international Beyond Matter project at the various partner institutions.
The Politics of Contemporary Art Biennials
Contemporary art biennials are sites of prestige, innovation and experimentation, where the category of art is meant to be in perpetual motion, rearranged and redefined, opening itself to the world and its contradictions. They are sites of a seemingly peaceful cohabitation between the elitist and the popular, where the likes of Jeff Koons encounter the likes of Guy Debord, where Angela Davis and Frantz Fanon share the same ground with neoliberal cultural policy makers and creative entrepreneurs. Building on the legacy of events that conjoin art, critical theory and counterculture, from Nova Convention to documenta X, the new biennial blends the modalities of protest with a neoliberal politic...
Border Wall Aesthetics
30 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, we live in a time of globalization and free trade. Nevertheless, 70 new border walls have been built in this period - put together, they would cover the total circumference of the Earth. While governments offer manifold justifications for building these separation barriers, they invariably attract the attention of artists. Is it merely the lure of transgression, however, that attracts them - or is there a deeper significance in the artistic encounter with border walls? And which artistic strategies do these artists employ to approach them? In order to address these questions, Élisa Ganivet revisits the history of border wall aesthetics and compares more recent border-related works by 100 artists, including Joseph Beuys (Berlin), Banksy (Israel-Palestine), and Frida Kahlo (Mexico-US). Through art and thus beyond art, we understand the flaws and shortcomings of supposedly well-oiled systems. With a preface by Élisabeth Vallet.

RLF
Nachdem die Straßenunruhen in London die Welt des Werbers Jan dramatisch auf den Kopf gestellt haben, findet er in der Aktivistin Slavia und dem Künstler Mikael Mikael die richtigen Mitstreiter im Kampf für ein richtiges Leben im falschen. Gemeinsam gründen sie RLF, ein Lifestyle-Unternehmen, das den Wunsch nach Protest und Widerstand in Konsumprodukte verwandelt; mit dem Ziel, das System selbst in einem revolutionären Akt zum Einsturz zu bringen. Doch die Revolution hat ihren Preis, den am Ende jemand wird bezahlen müssen – und sei es mit dem Leben. Mit Gastauftritten von Stéphane Hessel, Oliviero Toscani, Judith Butler, Harald Welzer und anderen. »Borries’ phantastischem Architekturroman gebührt der Preis für den besten Plot der Saison.« Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung »Schnell und schlau.« Deutschlandradio Kultur »Kalt wie die moderne Fassade eines Wolkenkratzers.
