Belgrade, Feb. 11, 2010 (Serbia Today) – Multimedia art project and exhibition titled “Lecture Performance” opened up its doors on three locations in Belgrade - in the Legate House, in the Salon of the Museum of Modern art, and in the Center for Cultural Decontamination. Sponsored by the Belgrade Museum of Modern Art and Kölnishe Kunstferain from Germany, the project was realized by art curators Jelena Vesic and Radmila Joksimovic and in cooperation with Anja Natan-Dorn and Catherine Jentjens.
The idea behind “Lecture Performance” was to deal with the issues related to the power of artistic language and expressions and with the purpose of the art expression itself. Project emphasizes the blurry borders between education, communication, esthetics, political expressions, and entertainment in the process of art making.
A group of international artists brings to Belgrade a fresh look at the meaning and purpose of the art process and on its place in the society. Political undertones are ever present but not visible to insensitive eyes of those who are not initiated in the ways of multimedia art expressions and symbols. Those who can recognize the message are touched with the depth of the applied art processes.
Movies, photo and video installations, and performances all prove that art scene in Belgrade is fertile ground for all kinds of innovations with educated and thankful public. The validity of the new trends are yet to prove themselves as the lasting art legacy or experiment not to be remembered. Time will show, but if you find yourself in Belgrade before the end of February, the visit to any of the locations of the “Lecture Performance” will certainly broad your horizons.
