The Last East European Show is a joint project of 21 curators and 60
artists from 17 East European countries. This exhibition was
conceived during the seminar Professional standards in Curatoria
Practice II - Curating in Transition that was organized by BAZA -
Belgrade Art Initiatives and the Museum of Modern Art in Belgrade
from 19th to 26th April 2002.

The exhibition consists of the following segments:

1. Difficult Body emphasizes the body and treats it as a medium where
meet social construction of identity and intimate experience, as well
as institutional body practice like medicine or genetics with their
imaginary worlds of new bodies.

2. city at org analyzes relationship between the public and the private,
the boundaries between the everyday and the non-everyday, and the
borders between art and popular culture that have been fundamentally
challenged. Searching for new forms of presentation of art works,
this segment explores redefinition of not only gallery space, but
also the space outside of it.

3. Remote without control deals with questions of artistic use of
media. Media manipulation, simulation, identity transformation and
search for active role of spectators are the main characteristics in
this segment.

4. Reinterpretation of symbols investigates general environment
filled with symbols and signs allowing the artists to observe, scan
and research surrounding reality, looking for a way to explain the
incomprehensible (incl. social, moral, aesthetic, political issues).
observe, scan and research surrounding reality, looking for a way to
explain the incomprehensible (incl. social, moral, aesthetic,
political issues). They discover the language / shape of these signs,
eye-witnesses of the real life, simple artifacts emerging as
testimonies out of the unknown, charged with memory, and create their
new identity.
