Project by:
Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade
Centre for Contemporary Art - Belgrade
The project Konverzacija is conceived as an opening exhibition of the =
Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade under its new management. During =
the 90s the Museum represented a cultural mirror-image of the official =
policy of the ex-Serbian regime. Konverzacija - the first big =
international show of contemporary art in Belgrade after many years - =
marks an attempt to alter the institutional treatment of contemporary =
art in Serbia. The show aims at establishing, re-establishing and =
confirming communication among artists and curators in Serbia, in the =
region, and internationally.=20
Opening date
The opening of the exhibition is deliberately scheduled for October 20, =
commemorating the day when in 1965 the Museum building has been =
officially opened as well as the day when Belgrade has in 1944 been =
liberated from Nazi occupation by Tito's partisans and Soviet Red Army.
Why Konverzacija?
In many of its meanings, the term konverzacija (conversation) is first =
of all taken to denote an informal interchange of thoughts, and to =
signal the ability to open that interchange within an isolationist =
environment. Conversations will take place in many different aspects =
during preparing, mounting and interpreting this show. Given that to =
converse implies a verbal act, it cannot be literally taken as the theme =
of the show. However, most of the invited artists employ forms of =
conversations in juxtaposing sometimes opposed lines of thoughts and =
discourses. The intention of the show is to present social and personal =
implications of this talk with others. The Latin word conversare means =
to turn constantly, which is precisely the aspect of contemporary art =
which is to be put forward: an ability to turn positions through mutual =
interchange of ideas and actions. Finally, another origin of the word =
was also important to confirm the title of this show: conversari in =
Latin means to keep company with.=20

In a conversation: one person throws a ball; the other does not know =
whether
he is supposed to throw it back, or throw it to a third person, or leave =
it
on the ground, or pick it up and put it in his pocket, etc.
