This is a critical survey of the extraordinary experiments in the arts that took place in the former Yugoslavia from the country's founding in 1918 to its breakup in 1991. The combination of Austro-Hungarian, French, German, Italian and Turkish influences gave Yugoslavia's avant-gardes a distinct character unlike those of other Eastern and Central European avant-gardes. Censorship and suppression kept much of the work far from the eyes and ears of the Yugoslav people, while language barriers and the inaccessibility of archives caused it to remain largely unknown to Western scholars. Many Westerners have never heard of the movements Belgrade Surrealism, Signalism, Yugo-Dada and Zenitism, the groups Alfa, Exat 51, Gorgona, OHO, and Scipion Nasice Sisters Theatre, or the magazines Danas, Red Pilot, Tank, Vechaceknost and Zvrk.

Seite 556 - When I've used all of the knives (all the rhythms), I rewind the tape recorder. I listen to the recording of the first part of the performance. I concentrate.

In this performance the mistakes of time past and time present are synchronized.
Seite 267 - ... the copy to the original. But this is the negative half of the set of terms that the critical practice of modernism seeks to repress, has repressed. From this perspective we can see that modernism and the avant-garde are functions of what we could call the discourse of originality, and that that discourse serves much wider interests — and is thus fueled by more diverse institutions — than the restricted circle of professional art-making.
