Bringing together more than 100 widely acclaimed international and national participants - from the US to Lithuania, from the Netherlands to Israel - the VI Yugoslav Biennial of Young Artists reflects relevant trends on the global art scene.
Jos uvek bez naziva/Untitled (As Yet) - the Biennial's main exhibition - takes place in various locations in Vrsac including the Konkordija Centre for Contemporary Culture, an apartment in a residential block in the centre of town, and the so-called Honey Bank, that at different points in its vivid history served as a bank, hotel, brothel, and warehouse.
Jos uvek bez naziva/Untitled (As Yet) is a non-thematic exhibition presenting works selected for a number of unashamedly subjective reasons. Examples vary from a theatre play written and directed by artist's 9 year old daughter, and a brand of sweets created especially for the occasion, to a video re-enactment of the 1995 assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, a 15m high vinyl installation, and a living room built entirely out of old newspapers and magazines.
Rather than serving to support a certain curatorial thesis, Jos uvek bez naziva/Untitled (As Yet) is primarily conceived as a situation that allows artworks to enter an open-ended conversation which can potentially extend beyond the confines of an exhibition. The final result will not be discernible in advance - it depends on unpredictable conjunctions that the works establish among themselves. Pressetext
