<strong>Art</strong> History<br />
SARAJEVO<br />
1987 and 1989 The<br />
Yugoslav Documenta, an art show of<br />
contemporary Yugoslav artists, is the<br />
first art exhibition on such a large<br />
scale in Sarajevo. The exhibition takes<br />
place in the Kulturno Sportski Centar<br />
Skenderija (Skenderija Sports and<br />
Cultural Centre) since there is no<br />
proper art venue for such an event.<br />
The third Documenta is planned to be<br />
international in scope, but is never<br />
realized because the war breaks out in<br />
1992.<br />
1997 Meeting Point, the first<br />
annual exhibition by the SCCA,<br />
(Soros Centre for Contemporary <strong>Art</strong>s<br />
Sarajevo), is organized as a series of<br />
site-specific interventions in the public<br />
space Ćulhan, the point of departure<br />
for many young Bosnian artists<br />
who have since received international<br />
recognition and success. The work<br />
with SCCA launches their careers.<br />
1999 Ars Aevi Collection is the<br />
first show organized by the Ars Aevi<br />
Museum of Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> in<br />
Sarajevo, in cooperation with artists<br />
and museums all over the world who<br />
participate in the creation of this<br />
collection to express solidarity with<br />
the inhabitants of the destroyed city of<br />
Sarajevo. This is the first time that the<br />
Sarajevo public sees works by so many<br />
significant international artists.<br />
219<br />
1993 Svjedoci postojanja (Witnesses<br />
of Existence), is an exhibition<br />
which gathers together the series of<br />
individual art interventions by Sarajevo<br />
artists (Nusret Pašić, Zoran Bogdanović,<br />
Petar Waldegg, Mustafa Skopljak,<br />
Edin Numankadić, Sanjin<br />
Jukić, Ante Jurić and Radoslav Tadić)<br />
from the time during the massive<br />
attack on the city and its inhabitants<br />
(1992–1993). Their work, exhibited in<br />
the burned-out Kino Sutjeska (Sutjeska<br />
cinema), shows life and cultural<br />
resistance in the besieged city.<br />
2001 Since the Ars Aevi<br />
Museum of Contemporary <strong>Art</strong> is<br />
still waiting for its permanent home,<br />
six exhibitions of the artists from its<br />
collection (Michelangelo Pistoletto,<br />
Richard Nonas, IRWIN, Daniel<br />
Buren, Joseph Kosuth, Joseph Beuys)<br />
are organized in different galleries<br />
and alternative spaces in Sarajevo.<br />
2009 Stagnation. Sarajevo still<br />
does not have adequate art venues for<br />
large-scale exhibitions, and there are<br />
no plans for building new galleries or<br />
expanding the existing ones.<br />
