RETROSPECTIVE 01
29 November, 2009 - 31 December, 2009
Opening of the exhibition: Sunday, November 29th 2009 at 7 P.M.
The exhibition Political Practices of (Post-)Yugoslav Art: RETROSPECTIVE 01 presents a cluster of independent researches that deal with the cultural heritage of socialist Yugoslavia through specific examples and concrete analyses of art practices within the institutional, political and social contexts in which they were being shaped. The common starting point of the exhibition – as a collective endeavor – is a counter-position vis-à-vis dominant historical representations of Yugoslav art and culture, as well as the socialist socio-political system in general.

Ivan Petrović
Opening of the exhibition: Wednesday, November 11th 2009 at 7 P.M.
During two periods of time (1997–2003 and 2005–2008), in a number of parallel courses, emerges Ivan Petrovic’s body of photographs joined under the title Documents.
What binds these photographs into a new and complex whole is not the theme around which they originated, but above all: “… a need to present, by way of revising one’s own archive and its fresh patterning, a possibility for a more integral comprehension and interpretation of given circumstances and events; to perform a kind of inquiry procedure and to insert, into official statistics, something called personal drama…” (Petrovic).

Art in public space
31 July, 2009 - 6 September, 2009
While the main building of the Museum of Contemporary Art is under reconstruction, the focus of curatorial practice has been shifted towards art in public space. As a result, the museum was relocated into the city and the public was consequently redefined – in fact the whole community became both the creator and the consumer. The public symbolizes a crucial element of this exhibition – either consciously or unconsciously, they are now an active participant directly involved in realization of certain artworks.
