umetnička aktivnost trebalo bi da u sebi sadrži
novi postulat kao alternativu koja bi bila
radikalno kritična prema praksi koja joj prethodi.
Taj novi postulat ili alternativa trebalo
bi da se pojavi u cilju prevazilaženja postojećeg
umetničkog konformizma (postojećeg
društvenog poretka), gde se promene pojavljuju
samo na nivou forme, tj. gde jedan umetnički
kontekst zamenjuje drugi, dok establišment
ostaje nepromenjen. Politizacija umetnosti je
stoga neophodna. Umetnost mora biti negativna,
kritična, kako prema spoljašnjem svetu,
tako u odnosu na svoj sopstveni jezik, svoju
sopstvenu (umetničku) praksu.

A šta je zadatak kustosa?
A šta je zadatak kustosa?
Zadatak kustosa nije samo virtuozni ideamaking
i dobar menadžment.
Zadatak kustosa je uvek aktivan odnos
prema sredstvima umetnosti i njenim
strategijama edukacije. Konačno, institucionalni
zadatak kustosa jeste da kreira
objedinjujuću priču koju tvore materijali
različitog porekla – nešto poput zaključnog
izlaganja advokata pre nego što će slučaj
biti dat na presudu.
Kustoski predlog Budućnost je nastavak
prošlosti drugim sredstvima bavio se
odnosima politizacije vs. kulturalizacije
umetničkih praksi na primerima radova
Partisan Songspiel grupe Chto Delat i Lutz
Beckerovih Kino Beleški. Objedinjujuće
katakteristike ova dva rada su višestruke:
oba se bave (post-)jugoslovenskom situacijom
na radikalan način, koristeći metod
‘distanciranog pogleda’ i avangardne
umetničke procedure (to je struktura filmskih
žurnala Dzige Vertova u slučaju Lutza
Beckera i brehtijanska opera u slučaju Chto
Delat); oba rada polaze od analize konkretne
situacije – kontra-kulturni i politički
okviri delovanja alternativne umetničke
watching a placard man who is juggling balls
in the air. In a way, he mocks this man, for he
thinks it’s sad that one must pursue such a
profession. Throughout the movie, that very
talented man shows various ways of trying to
affirm his own person, he wants to be a painter,
etc., he tries a whole lot of things throughout
the movie. I just wanted to see whether I could
manage to juggle balls for three minutes –
that’s all.
Zoran Popović: The work of art, an artistic activity
would have to contain within itself a new
postulate as an alternative, which would be
radically critical of the previous practice. This
new postulate or alternative should appear for
the purpose of overcoming the existing artistic
conformism (the existing social order), where
changes occur only on the level of form, that
is to say, where one artistic context replaces
another, while the establishment remains
unchangeable. Hence a politisation of art is
necessary. Art must be negative, critical, both
towards the external world and in relation to its
own language, its own (artistic) practice. [...]

But what is the task of the curator?
But what is the task of the curator?
The task of the curator is not just virtuoso
idea-making and good management.
The task of the curator is always an active
relation to the means of art and its strategies
of education. Finally, the institutional
task of the curator is to create a uniting
story that is created by materials of different
origins – something like the closing address
of counsel before the case is handed
over for a verdict.
The curatorial project The Future is the
Extension of the Past by Other Means deals
with the relations of the politization
and culturalization of artistic practices
