REVOLUTIONS
by Tobias Sjöberg
Revolutions is a film trilogy about a group of people, who together staged a group dynamic. They joined together in an everyday form of social order witch in the film gradually collapsed and declined into something else, something exaggerated. Revolutions takes as its point of departure a reality that is both allegorical, as well as a dystopic replica of the everyday, divested of a sense of urgency.

BEWARE THE AFTEREFFECTS
Beware the Aftereffects
Artists: Shy Abady / Zbyszek Gula / Yudi Noor/Jovana Popić / Daniel Winkler / Herbert Willems
Curated by Maja Ciric
I accidentally came across a book, The Concise Art of Seduction, and it inspired me immediately. Being an art curator, and art being a constitutive part of my personality, I started evaluating the potential of artistic practice to seduce desired ones (makers, thinkers, lookers, buyers). The way I saw it, in the best of circumstances, art should deal with social realities and concepts rather than fantasy and mere formal appearance. However, I was aware that there are still many romantics who think of art as of a spell, a possible enchantment. So, I agreed not to be inhibited by the curatorial role I have to play, by always having to be responsible, in control and rational. I agreed not to indulge a total limitation of my career. And being open to different mindsets, I found artworks that are, while strategically concealing (revealing) its tactics and insecurities, playing with enchantment by confusing reality and fantasy, concept and somewhat traditional form.
According to the book mentioned above, the seducer/artist/curator should have the gift of charm, persuasion and the ability to create illusion; s/he can manipulate, mislead and give pleasure. In this way, the present artworks, at first
glance, might hold some of the components of the process of seduction. They appear to be physical objects of desire (Zbyszek Gula); they are sending mixed signals (Zbyszek Gula, Jovana Popić); they are creating temptation, keeping the
makers, thinkers, lookers, buyers in suspense (Jovana Popić); they use the power of words to sow confusion (Jovana Popić;); they poeticise their presence (Yudi Noor, Herbert Willems). But, they might also disarm you through strategic weakness and vulnerability (Shy Abady, Daniel Winkler, Herbert Willems).
What is more important than merely representing the moves of seduction is the fact that, different as we are in our languages, these artists and me as a curator, we master together the Art of the Bold Move. What constitutes this bold move is the fact that we are all playing with the consequences, with the aftereffects of disenchantment. Fantasy meets reality when desire swings in the opposite direction: into lassitude, distrust, disappointment and fast burnout (Shy Abady’s teutonic (ideological) shield without a body in it produced in traditional technique); the broken spell (Jovana Popić’s work inspired by Lunic, the spacecraft that missed its target); flagging energy (Shy Abady, Herbert Willems, Daniel Winkler); creeping familiarity (Zbyszek Gula’s monkeys with pixels instead of a face).
Simultaneously, some artists beware the aftereffects of the slow burnout and keep on with the enchantment, maintaining mystery through keeping dark corners in their artworks (Jovana Popić, Herbert Wiliem’s somehow grotesque flowers); or fighting against inertia by never repeating exposure (Yudi Noor’s Mapping the Bridge, which changes colour depending on the wall it is hanging on, Daniel Winkler’s sculpture of a bizarre body whose chakra’s correspond to the heads of different historical philosophical figures).
All of the above reminds us of the somewhat distorted boundaries confronting the reality of (dis)enchantment or between different art discourses. This reminds us that being seduced is not always pleasant, because the aftereffects can never be entirely articulated.
Maja Ciric (b. Belgrade, Serbia, 1977) is a freelance and independent curator and art consultant based in Belgrade, Serbia and Dubai, UAE. Holds a BA in Art History from the University of Belgrade, a n MA in Cultural and Gender Studies from AAOM, Belgrade and has a diploma of the interdisciplinary postgraduate program Transit Spaces of the Bauhaus, Dessau, Germany. She is currently enrolled in a PhD program in Art and Media Theory at the University of Arts, Belgrade, Serbia. Her practice is developed through both independent (www.mobile-studios.org; http://www.womenngo.org.yu/images/Kampanje/AZC-OffBeatCat.pdf
www.upgrade.beocity.com) and institutional projects (curator of the Serbian Pavilion at 52. International Art Exhibition La Biennale de Venezia, BELEF http://www.belef.org/07/visual/index.html) She presented a paper entitled Constructions of The Balkans as the Other in the Curatorial Concepts at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at the Harvard University.
She uses the curatorial practice in order to make a supplement to the mainstream discourses, and produce alternative knowledge about social, political, and aesthetic transformations. Her areas of interest, amongst other, are gender theory and new media practices.
