Dunavski dijalozi 2019 / Zmago Lenárdič / Don’t think Art!

Izložba slovenačkog umetnika Zmaga Lenárdiča ,,Don’t think Art!“ deo je izložbenih postavki Dunav + u okviru Festivala savremene umetnosti ,,Dunavski dijalozi 2019″. Izložba će biti otvorena 16. septembra u 19:50h u Galeriji SULUV, Bulevar Mihajla Pupina 9, Novi Sad. Selektor je Arne Brejc, galerista. O radu umenika Nadja Gnamuš kaže ,,Zmago Lenárdič has always seen himself in the position of the other – someone ill at ease in situations of certainty and dominant currents, be it the concept of the modernist universality of experience or the modern art system, which consented to the hodgepodge of art, capital, and neoliberal values. His last works take the form of implicit resistance, as urgent as it is impossible, since virtual political freedoms and the democratization of knowledge and speech mask their zero effect, internalizing and numbing within the structure of social action. […].”(Nadja Gnamuš ,“When looking, forget about art!”, Likovne besede, no.105, Ljubljana 2017, p. 58-62)
