The project “Political Practices of (post-) Yugoslav Art” is conceived as a long-term project between 4 independent cultural organisations to further collaborate on multidisciplinary research, focusing on relationships of visual arts, cinema and intellectual production with socio-political practices in the (post-) Yugoslav cultural space. The organizations share the attitude towards culture as a productive process rather than the representative product, and emphasize the cultural policies aspect of all their activities.

The project started in June 2006 as the result of a joint decision to develop further, intensify and expand their previous collaborations which emerged out of their joint activities as part of AR1. The initial framework was set, and the first phase of research started resulting in a number of “case-studies” presented from the end of 2006 and throughout 2007 in different cities of the region in the form of exhibitions, publications, panel discussions, screenings and debates: The Continuous Art Class (Novi Sad, Zagreb, Belgrade), Who is “Goran Djordjevic”? (Belgrade), TV Gallery (Zagreb, Novi Sad), Vojin Bakic (Zagreb), On the Black Wave in Yu Cinema (Belgrade). This cluster of case-study researches unfolds around the notions of 'official' and 'marginal' culture inside of the Socialist state, political strategies in the field of culture and self-organization. Continuation and systematization of the project’s results will be presented in the form of a joint exhibition, multilingual publication and discussion panel, which will recapitalize all the major themes of the project.
