ãI need a radical changeä presents contemporary art scene from Kosova 
in relation to specific international context of ãethnicalä conflict 
zones exposed to the processes of post-war normalization. The 
exhibition is focused on similarities of structural conditions and 
preoccupations that are critically challenging national obsessions 
using cultural and artistic production as a kind of ãway outä and a 
possibility of dialogue. By relating works of the artists from 
Kosova, Zagreb, Istanbul, Sarajevo and Dyarbakir, ãI need a radical 
changeä does not insist on parallels or on homogeneity of different 
national and cultural identities, but attempts to avoid their 
inevitably narrow paradigms and prejudices. The crucial question of 
national and territorial sovereignty is relocated in the sphere of 
art understood as a field in which different imagination of these 
categories is still possible.
