The exhibition Objects and Projects<\/i> by its very title demonstrates the shift from object-based art to project-based art, characteristic of the new paradigm of contemporary art. Together with Drangularijum<\/i><\/a> and At Another Moment<\/i><\/a>,<\/span> it represents one of the first exhibitions of New Art realized within the SKC gallery space. Held in 1971, it was also the first exhibition to present the work of the so-called Belgrade Six artists[1]<\/a>\u2014Marina Abramovi\u0107, Slobodan Milivojevi\u0107-Era, Ne\u0161a Paripovi\u0107, Zoran Popovi\u0107, Ra\u0161a Todosijevi\u0107, and Gergelj Urkom. They participated in the SKC collective and communitarian life embodied in the work of the gallery\u2019s editorial board (Redakcija<\/i>, or redaction), but they also pursued individual artistic carriers. This tendency was supported by the same generation of critics and art historians who profiled the work of Belgrade Six artists within the classical discourse on \u201cgrand authors,\u201d this time the representatives of New Art Practices.[2]<\/a><\/p>\n

Programmatically and ideologically, the Objects and Projects<\/i> differs from the rather horizontal and participatory form of \u201cplayful collective practice\u201d manifested by the exhibition Drangularijum<\/i>, presented just a few months before. It makes the shift from an inclusive model of experimental exhibitions by young artists gathered around SKC gallery toward a more professional, individualistic, and conceptually articulated form of New Art. This shift mirrored the attitudes and ambivalences inscribed into the \u201cexperimental institutionalism\u201d of SKC since the very beginning. In my introductory text<\/a> to this exhibition chronology I examine this specific modus operandi where simultaneity of horizontal and vertical forms of organization blur the possibility for more experimental exhibitions to be clearly situated on either side of the binary opposition between institutional versus self-organized. This ambivalent situation is also captured in the documentary photographic material of the SKC artistic community (analyzed in the introductory text), which is simbolically, in terms of cultural representation, connected to two different modes of presentation of art and institutional practice exemplified by Drangularijum<\/i> and Objects and Projects<\/i>. The collectivity of te SKC artistic community is represented in Milan Jo\u017ei\u0107\u2019s famous photo of people \u201cwho used to be there\u201d (in SKC), \u201cwho used to be that institution\u201d (the photo is reproduced in the introduction text). The second photo by Jo\u017ei\u0107, made during the same session, represented the six most distinguished artists in the eye of art critics and curators of the time\u2014the photo of the Belgrade Six (the photo can be found among the images accompanying this article).<\/p>\n
