Performances from the opening of The Heritage of 1989. Case Study: The Second Yugoslav Documents Exhibition
Performances by Jusuf Hadžifejzović, Ilija Šoškić and Azra Akšamija, in the frame of the exhibition The Heritage of 1989. Case Study: The Second Yugoslav Documents at Moderna galerija (Ljubjana, Slovenia).
To mark the opening of The Heritage of 1989. Case Study: The Second Yugoslav Documents Exhibition. The 1980s through the Prism of Events, Exhibitions, and Discourses – Part 3, Moderna galerija hosted performances by Jusuf Hadžifejzović, Ilija Šoškić and Azra Akšamija.
The exhibition presents a re-enactment of the last big art exhibition in Yugoslavia in 1989: Yugoslav Documents '89 was curated by the artists Jusuf Hadžifejzović and Rade Tadić and realised under the auspices of the ZOI '84 Olimpijski centar Skenderija in the 8,000-square-metre Skenderija Center in Sarajevo. The current exhibition does not attempt to reconstruct Yugoslav Documents '89, but instead highlights its absences; indeed the tendency then had been to reference postmodern trends, rather than completely contextualise itself within the civil aura of Yugoslavia at the time. Here, three artists re-enact and perform to the exhibition, almost thirty years on.

Open Call – School of Common Knowledge
MSU (Zagreb), Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven), MG+MSUM (Ljubljana), ZRC SAZU (Ljubljana) and L'Internationale invite applications for the new School of Common Knowledge (SCK) to be held in Zagreb and Ljubljana 24–29 May 2024. The School of Common Knowledge draws on the network, knowledge and experience of the L’Internationale museum confederation. Its ambition is to be both nomadic and situated, looking at specific cultural and geopolitical situations while exploring their relations and interdependencies with the rest of the world. The SCK is built on the basis laid by the Glossary of Common Knowledge project initiated by Zdenka Badovinac and Moderna galerija (Ljubljana) and continues its co-learning methodology.
