EVENT

Event: Neue Slowenische Kunst Dublin 2004


Dates:
Sat May 01, 2004 00:00 - Wed Feb 25, 2004

In May 2004, during Ireland's Presidency of the European Union, celebrations will take place in Dublin city to welcome the 10 countries who will join the European Union under the program of enlargement. During these celebrations, and through the initiative of Helena Drnovsek-Zorko (Slovenian Ambassador to Ireland), the Neue Slowenische Kunst will undertake a series of events around the capital city.

NSK was founded in the Slovenian Republic of the Federal Socialist Republic of Yugoslavia in 1984. According to a declaration written in 1982 by it's precursor Laibach Kunst, the group did not define itself as an alliance of individuals, but rather as a collective. The strategy of NSK has been one of over-identification with the implicit properties of state ideology.

In the 1980's, all the groups of the NSK were bound to the working method of retro avant garde or a retro-principle. It consisted of an 'emphatic eclecticism' which appropriated symbols, images, and forms of rhetoric from the socialist or totalitarian state apparatus. These include many historical signs that have been part of Slovenian culture e.g. Socialist Realism and Nazi art, Italian Futurism and Soviet Constructivism, as well as Laibach's Leitmotifs of the eagle, deer, sower, the small drummer, and Malevic's black cross. IRWIN reclaim an "asserted national culture" and develop the new national Slovene art as a platform for national authenticity.

The Events that will take place include:

International Conference: Art and Politics: The Imagination of Opposition in Europe
With the University of Ljubljana and University College Dublin
How does 'art' intersect 'politics' either when all art is politics or when politics forcibly subsumes art to its will?

Opening Event - NSK

EVENT

Conference: Art and PoliticsThe Imagination of Opposition in Europe


Dates:
Thu Apr 29, 2004 00:00 - Wed Feb 25, 2004

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
With the Slovenian Society for Aesthetics
Art and PoliticsThe Imagination of Opposition in Europe
University College Dublin
April 29 – 30, 2004

How does 'art' intersect 'politics' either when all art is politics or when politics forcibly subsumes art to its will? In the modernist tradition, art and politics are autonomous fields. In totalitarian societies, everything is politics, with all differentiation disappearing along with the limits between public and private spheres.

In post-imperial societies it is seen as evident that art was rarely independent, playing as it did its own part in the imperialist politics of cultural hegemony and giving rise to various kinds of post-imperial cultural headaches. In post-socialist societies, it becomes clear that, with everything being political, art can produce a politics of its own, making the invisible aesthetic process that makes the cultural hegemony of the socialist regime visible.

In the case of Slovenia, Neue Slowenische Kunst, as a collective project starting from 1980 on, is the most outstanding case of the art of the Eighties. It is an important starting point for analyses of how art and artists react and interact with different political hegemonies – underlying shared and differentiated experiences in both contemporary and historical Europe.

An international panel of artists, art historians, critics, academics and arts professionals will compare and contrast European experiences based upon the themes above.

Further conference and registration details are available by post or by email from the Dublin European Institute, UCD, Belfield, email dei@ucd.ie. While the programme is being finalised, panellists thus far confirmed include: Judith Devlin, Aless Erjavec, Lev Kreft, Bojana Kunst, Marina Grzinic Mauhler, Paula Murphy, Misko Suvakovic and Alexei Monroe. Registration fee €25 (professional) and €10 (concessionary – including full-time registered students)
