City Theater

September 29 – October 27, 2017

Eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest. Socialism regulated life, as well as mobility and existence in the public space. Through the positions of artists from the region, the exhibition introduces examples of the directions and the possibilities of neo-avant-garde public art. Documentations of urban interventions, performances, and spontaneous social and artistic events are put on display in venues within walking distance of each other; the exhibition also includes action photos and urban minimal actions that were more modest, nearly invisible, owing to political austerity.

Exhibiting artists: Akademia Ruchu, Stano Filko & Alex Mlynárčik, Tomislav Gotovac, Sanja Iveković, Július Koller, Jiří Kovanda, KwieKulik, László Lakner, Dóra Maurer, Jüri Okas, Neša Paripović, Ewa Partum, Mladen Stilinović, Endre Tót
