>exhibition view @P74 Gallery<\/a> You are cordially invited to attend the preview of the exhibition BEYOND ART GROUPS – THE NEW ART APPARATUS<\/em> curated by Mi\u0161ko \u0160uvakovi\u0107 and Darko \u0160imi\u010di\u0107, on Tuesday, October 12, between 6 pm and 8 pm at the P74 Gallery in Ljubljana. The exhibition Beyond Art Groups \u2013 The New Art Apparatus<\/strong> presents art collectives that have been working on the territory of the former Yugoslavia from the 1960s to the present day. There are many groups and movements involved that have brought different forms and dynamics of cultural activity, status and functions of artwork, communication, and the role of the audience \u2013 ranging from micro communities, living communities, to current institutional and post-institutional formations. Included here are groups that have their own infrastructure, parainstitutional organizations, artistic couples, temporary associations of artists, and groups that are fictitious constructions.<\/p>\n The exhibition presents various models and forms of existence and activities of art groups that have worked in the so-called conceptual tradition. It focuses on a critique of current models of institutions, their programs, and the basic working conditions of the artistic production. The research and exhibition highlight the changing relationships between roles in the production, presentation and documentation of contemporary art during the transition period. The main issues addressed by the exhibition are how institutions have influenced each other, how they have changed and cooperated, and how political changes have affected artistic practice itself. The exhibition reflects on the need for new, alternative inter- and supra-institutional models of institutions and their new working strategies and roles.<\/p>\n In the context of the neo-avant-garde of the 1960s, the central place belongs to OHO, which was not just an art group as it acted as a movement that connected artists from various artistic fields and practices, from intermedia art, performative practices to film, theory, etc. In the spirit of the times, they sought to renovate the sphere of art and society. The early emergence of video art is also closely linked to conceptualism. In the initial period of their creativity (1968\u20131969), Sre\u010do and Nu\u0161a Dragan used video to dematerialize the art object. The activities of the OHO Group also resonated significantly in the wider Yugoslav area and influenced the KOD Group, the (\ua4f1 Group and the 143 Group.<\/p>\n
