A Slow Burning Fire

Yugoslavia''s diverse and interconnected art scenes from the 1960s to the 1980s, linked to the country''s experience with socialist self-management. In Yugoslavia from the late 1960s to the late 1980s, state-supported Student Cultural Centers became incubators for new art. This era''s conceptual and performance art--known as Yugoslavia''s New Art Practice--emerged from a network of diverse and densely interconnected art scenes that nurtured the early work of Marina Abramovi&ć, Sanja Ivekovi&ć, Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK), and others. In this book, Marko Ili&ć offers the first comprehensive examination of the New Art Practice, linking it to Yugoslavia''s experience with socialist self-management and the political upheavals of the 1980s.
