Date: Thu, 13 Apr 2000 14:00:01 +0200 From: Bart Rutten <[email protected]> Dejan Sretenovic lecture on Media Art in Serbia 2 May 2000, 20.00 hrs, MonteVideo/Amsterdam We would like to draw your attention to a special lecture by Dejan Sretenovic, Director of the Centre for Contemporary Art in Belgrade (CCAB), on the development of video/media art in the former Yugoslavia and Serbia. This lecture will be given at the Netherlands Media Art Institute on May 2nd, 2000. Dejan Sretenovic is currently regarded as one of the most important contemporary curators and art theoreticians in Central Europe. In 1999, Sretenovic organised the manifestation Video Art in Serbia, which gave a unique overview of 30 years of video art in the former Yugoslavia. It will be of no surprise to anyone that this overview showed the traces of a turbulent history. Following on from this video-art project, Sretenovic organised Reality Check, Serbian Art during Wartime (http://realitycheck.c3.hu/center.html), which explored the delicate socio-cultural situation in Serbian art. The self-reliant nature of Serbian video/media art is not just based on the political situation. Due to the socio-economic and technological developments in this country, Serbian video art has gone through a different development than its �Western� equivalent. These differences are caused, among other things, by the relatively slight influence of television on culture until the late 1980s, and by the unavailability of up-to-date technical equipment. Sretenovic will delve into this history, and will focus on the current flourishing situation. The presentation focuses on media art projects produced in the last 5 years. The main topic to be discussed is how media art reflects Serbian reality and its media representations. The presentation includes CD Rom pieces by Milica Tomic and Zoran Naskovski and videos by Apsolutno, Zoran Todorovic, Zoran Naskovski, Dragana Zarevac, Pavle Cosic as well as excerpts from Serbian TV coverage of the operation Allied Force and turbo-folk video clips. The project Realty Check, produced by CCAB during the war, will be presented as well. Twee Hoog Achter will open its doors at 20.00 h. The entrance fee will be NLG 10.00, and we would recommend that you make your reservation by telephone (+31 20 623 7101), or email ([email protected]).
