Executive Director Ars Aevi Sarajevo WELCOMING REMARKS Dr. Boštjan Žekš, Minister for Culture, Republic of Slovenia Ladies and gentlemen, there are certain rules here which I do not understand; therefore, I will speak Slovenian. And the lady here will translate. I shall be brief but you will have a rare opportunity to learn a few Slovenian words. Ladies and gentlemen, may I welcome you most cordially here to this lovely conference in Ljubljana. You are still a young organisation, twelve or thirteen years old if I’m not mistaken, and although you are dealing with problems and questions that are not new, you are introducing something new into them, especially in the area of art and culture. I’m very pleased that you have made the decision to hold this conference in Ljubljana, in Zagreb and Sarajevo. In the past these various nations have lived together although, due to some historic events that we will not discuss here, we sort of broke up and are no longer living together. We come together now, however, to speak about questions that are common to us all in various areas in the field of art and culture. For us here in Slovenia, holding this conference is very important, because it is a mark of recognition for our country. In this regard, I should really like to commend the director of the Moderna galerija, Ms. Zdenka Badovinac, who in fact plays a triple role as director of the Moderna galerija, head of this organising board, and chief organiser and president of your organisation. I must say I’m always happy to see somebody perform three jobs for the same pay! As I was saying, this conference is important for Slovenia, and your presence is important, because to us it means a connection with the rest of the world. Our country still faces a few problems. Afer obtaining our independence twenty years ago and creating a new state, a new country, we have moved from a closed system to a more open system. We no longer have any borders, and yet I believe that we are still afraid of crossing borders. Another problem we face is that there are obviously quite a few areas that are still under the domain of the state, such as culture, art, science (science is my own area of work) and education, all of which are financed by the state that is responsible for culture, science and also taxes. In case I have not made myself clear enough in Slovenian, I will repeat what I’ve said in English: people here in Slovenia believe that it is right for the government to finance culture, sport, science and everything and yet they want to pay as liTle tax as possible, which doesn’t work. As a result, there is no private investment in culture, science and the like. CIMAM 2011 Annual Conference ‘Museums and the City’ 5 This afernoon you will be visiting several cultural institutions, which will be a good opportunity for you to see that Ljubljana is indeed a city of culture and is also apposite to the theme, the topic, of the conference, ‘Museums and the City’. You will also be visiting the new gallery, the new museum, which will be inaugurated shortly. I do hope you will like it or, let’s put it otherwise, you will have to like it! Thank you. CIMAM 2011 Annual Conference ‘Museums and the City’ 6 WELCOMING REMARKS Zdenka Badovinac, President of CIMAM, Director Moderna galerija, Ljubljana Dear colleagues, CIMAM members, Minister Žekš, Welcome. It is a great honour for me to be one of the hosts of this year’s CIMAM conference. My colleagues from Zagreb—Tihomir Milovac and Snježana Pintarić— and I are delighted that the annual conference is at last being held in our region. The theme of conference, ‘Museums and the City’, concerns not only the working conditions for museums in the host cities of Ljubljana, Zagreb, and Sarajevo; it also opens a debate about how the museum should function in the city of today, which has lost its traditional population and doesn’t know exactly who it belongs to. How can the museum escape the pressures of politics and economics? How can it enter into global dialogues as an equal partner and resist the various hegemonic positions of knowledge? How does the museum contribute to the polis as a space of commonality? At least one answer springs to mind right away: there is power in unity, in the unity of city residents who share similar urgencies. The topic ‘Museums and the City’ raises questions about how the museum communicates with its own local community and how it communicates within the global city. Working in the global city should mean not only the universalisation of museum work standards, but also the recognition of diferent kinds of institutional models that are beTer suited to the specific conditions they face. In areas where there are undernourished infrastructures and still unconstructed histories of the local tradition, it does not seem wise to invest more in extravagant buildings than you do in knowledge. In the former Yugoslavia, the years that followed the collapse of the common state and the ensuing wars meant more difcult working conditions for our museums, but this also compelled us to look for alternative and more creative ways to operate. In this efort, the synergies between diferent groups in the cities played a decisive role. This was true not only in the former Yugoslavia, but also in other countries where, afer the collapse of Communism, opportunities appeared for creating stronger international ties, whichwere followed—although not at the same speed—by the development of an art system and its infrastructure. In the Balkan region, in areas where there were no adequate museums, the artists themselves ofen took the initiative to fill the gap. In Sofia, for instance, Nedko Solakov and a group of artists and curators launched an entire platorm for contemporary art; in Bucharest, it was Dan and Lia Perjovschi; in Tirana, Edi Rama, a painter who became the mayor, had the entire city painted, so that it became, in its own way, a work of art. Recently, in Prishtina, the artist Erzen Shkololli became the director of the National Gallery. In Ljubljana and Zagreb, where there exists a significant tradition of art museums, the museums have forged ties with artists as well as with smaller, more fexible spaces, to create new platorms for contemporary art.

  • Non-Aligned Modernity / Modernità Non Allineata
    Milan, 16 September 2016 , FM Centro per l'Arte Contemporanea, the new center for contemporary art and collecting inaugurated last April at the Frigoriferi Milanesi, reopens its exhibition season on 26 October with three new exhibitions and a cycle of meetings aimed at art collectors. NON-ALIGNED MODERNITY / MODERNITÀ NON ALLINEATA Eastern-European Art and Archives from the Marinko Sudac Collection / Arte e Archivi dell’Est Europa dalla Collezione Marinko Sudac 27 October – 23 December 2016 Curated by Marco Scotini, in collaboration with Andris Brinkmanis and Lorenzo Paini 25 October 2016, 11 am - press preview 26 October 2016, 6 pm - opening event 27 October 2016, 7 pm - exhibition talk Under the patronage of: Republic of Croatia, Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs Consolato Generale della Repubblica di Croazia, Milano Ente Nazionale Croato per il Turismo, Milano After L’Inarchiviabile/The Unarchivable , an extensive review of the Italian art in the 1970s, FM Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea’s exhibition program continues with a second event, once again concerning an artistic scene that is less known and yet to be discovered. Despite the international prestige of some of its representatives, this is an almost submerged reality but one that represents an exceptional contribution to the history of art in the second half of the twentieth century. Non-Aligned Modernity not only tackles art in the nations of Eastern Europe but attempts to investigate an anomalous and anything but marginal chapter in their history, which cannot be framed within the ideology of the Soviet Bloc nor within the liberalistic model of Western democracies.

Da je razvoj ove umjetnosti tada prestao, da se ona uslijed iscrpljenja urušila u se svejedno bi­ smo bili u prilici da zapazimo oscilacije značenja pojma. Domašaj svijesti u naporu da razumije i od­ redi pojavu ne može izbjeći ograničenjima same svi­ jesti. Zato se pred različitim očima svaka pojava raspada u toliko različitih pojavnosti koliko je razli­ čitih promatrača; ni jedan vid ne govori o gleda­ nome toliko koliko o viđenome — što će reći, da se, u svemu što gleda, oko i samo ogleda: vid je, tako­ đer, dio viđenoga. Ne treba, stoga, pomišljati da je 1918. ili 1948. po­ stojala apsolutna suglasnost o značenju pojma ap­ straktne umjetnosti ili pak, da će ikad i postojati. Ali činjenica da apstraktna umjetnost nije do sada »potrošila« oblike svog postojanja kaže nam da se pojam o njoj mora izmijeniti već i zbog toga što se ona mijenjala. Slikovito će nam otvoriti put razumijevanju naravi njezina početka jedan nedovoljno iskorišten aspekt predobro poznate priče o izvrnutoj slici u ateljeu Kandinskoga. Zatomimo li znatiželju povjesnika, koji u datumu događaja (1908.) vidi razlog pričanja, obratit ćemo pozornost okolnostima u kojima je vi­ đena pseudoprva pseudoapstraktna slika, u kojima je ta i takva slika — ni prva među apstraktnim, ni apstraktna među figurativnim — bila, dakle, pse- udoviđena.

  • DESIGN and INDUSTRY: the Role and Impact of Industrial Design in Post-War Yugoslavia
    Special Call “Design Policies: Between Dictatorship and Resistance” | December 2015 Editorial DESIGN AND INDUSTRY: The Role and Impact of Industrial Design in Post-War Yugoslavia Dora Vanette, Parsons The New School for Design, New York Key Words Yugoslavia, midcentury, industrial design, media ABSTRACT This study offers an overview of the design developments in the period following the Second World War in Yugoslavia and indicate the points of contact and departure between an emerging generation of architects and designers and state sanctioned design. The goal of this paper is to trace the development of the discipline of industrial design in this context, and argue for its revolutionary position in the development of a modern Yugoslavia. INTRODUCTION Following the end of World War II a new generation of architects and designers emerged in Yugoslavia, seeking to mediate socialist ideology with modernist forms. The group, mostly gathered around the progressive environment of the newly established Academy of Applied Art (1949-1955), attempted to promote art and design that was highly functional and aesthetically pleasing, and most importantly, available to all. What began as a probing of design terminology became a wide-reaching attempt to 1/15 www.iade.pt/unidcom/radicaldesignist | ISSN 1646-5288 promote modernist design as the appropriate expression of contemporary life. Through forming design organizations and developing relationships with manufacturers, the designers strove to bring their products to the market, at the same time utilizing various design publications in an attempt to educate the public on what was believed to be proper design. Finally, these ideas were disseminated to an international public through participation and organization of design fairs.

Stilinović je jedan od najprisutnijih hrvatskih autora na svjetskoj umjetničkoj sceni. Dvaput je pozvan na Venecijansko bijenale i njegovi radovi predstavljeni su u brojnim uglednim svjetskim muzejima poput Muzeja moderne umjetnosti u New Yorku i Centra Georges Pompidou u Parizu. Pitanje interpretacije njegova rada postavlja se u širi kontekst nove geopolitičke podjele svijeta nakon 1989. godine te interesa Zapada za umjetnost i kulturu dotad „nepoznatih“ zemalja koje nisu dio dominantnog kanona. S obzirom na Stilinovićev umjetnički interes i propitivanje ideologije, politike i ekonomije, njegov opus zanimljivo je analizirati upravo iz rakursa zapadnjačke percepcije o umjetniku postjugoslavenskog prostora. Na primjeru međunarodne izložbene prakse nakon 1989. godine u radu se analizira zapadnjački pogled na Stilinovićeve najčešće izlagane radove.

Fifteen years later they talk about My Lai and its aftermath. — ed. By Betty Brink Kountze "It was a small tragedy in a small place." — Lt. William L.

TO THE VIETNAMESE families who lived there and to neighboring villagers, My Lai 4 had always been known as Thuan Yen. The hamlet, located in the Son My Village near the South China sea coast, was called My Lai 4 only on the U.S. Army maps. Americans, who had trouble with Vietnamese names, found it simpler to pinpoint one large hamlet and give n o its name to others nearby, numbering them 1, 2, 3 and so on. is In 1968 there were six My Lais in the Son My Village on the Lia American Army maps. The hamlet was centuries old when the men of Charlie and /Gamma Bravo companies landed at its northernmost edge on that hot, x muggy spring morning in March, 1968. By noon, Thuan Yen, Co its houses, its temple, its animals, and most of its people, in- die cluding its future generations, had ceased to exist. It was never Ed by rebuilt.

  • An Inventory of Major European Bird Collections by C
    C.S. Roselaar 253 Bull. B.O.C. 2003 123A An inventory of major European bird collections by C. S. Roselaar Introduction During a Round Table Discussion convened by Dr Walter Bock and Dr Henri Ouellet at the XXI International Ornithological Congress in Vienna, 20–25 August 1994, a number of staff members of European ornithological collections expressed the opinion that more cooperation among them was desirable. Many museums suffer from shrinking budgets, making improvement, maintenance, or even access to the collections difficult. Maintaining the world’s biodiversity is of major concern among biologists at the moment, and although this concern is also acknowledged by various governments it has not resulted in any additional support for museum ornithology. Bird collections form a rich source of biodiversity data. Taxonomic information in regional and global handbooks can only be extracted from museum collections. Morphometric data taken from skins of various populations are of importance for unravelling migration patterns for instance. Population studies profit from collections of specimens of known age and sex. Reference collections for identification and training will always be needed, both for laymen (e.g. rarity committees) and scientists (e.g. as help in enforcement of CITES and other national and international nature conservation legislation, for the statistics of bird/aircraft collisions, archaeology, and in ecological studies).
