Josipa Juraja Strossmayera Uniwersytetu w Osijeku w Chorwacji (Academy of Arts and Culture of Josip Juraj Strossmayer University in Osijek) przedstawi prezentację pt. Rituals of the institutionalization.

Spotkanie odbędzie się w siedzibie Kolegium Artes Liberales przy ul Dobrej 72 o godzinie 16.45 (sala 4).

Zapowiedź prezentacji 

The lecture examines some of the neo-avant-garde performative attempts of artistic intrusion in the period of transition between postmodernist and post-Socialist heritage. This problem, however, is placed in the context of the complex relationship between the avant-garde habitus of Montažstroj’s early works, as a kind of ritual of institutionalization, within the (former) Yugoslav performance field. The decay of ex-State is thus monitored as a decay of the performative kind.
