In the First Person
meeting about work of Ješy Denegri followed by the screening of "The Other Line"(dir. Nenad Milošević)

Frame from "Druga linija" ("The Other Line"), directed by Nenad Milošević, 2016
The event celebrates the life and work of Ješa Denegri - one of the most influential art historians and theorists of Yugoslav modernist art of the 1950s and 1960s, and "new artistic practice" in Yugoslavia in the 1970s. Meeting with Branislav Dimitrijević and Jelena Vesić, Magdalena Radomska moderated by Pierre Bal-Blanc and Sebastian Cichocki, will be followed by the screening of Druga linija (The Other Line), directed by Nenad Milošević, 2016.
The event is related to the recently published book The Yugoslav Art Space – Ješa Denegri in the First Person, edited by Branislav Dimitrijević and Jelena Vesić, the first comprehensive survey of Ješa Denegri's life. Denegri's concept of the "artist in the first person," describing the modes of dematerialization of the art object and performative practices directly addressing the audience, has inspired the conversational approach of the publication.
The conversation between the book's authors and the Polish art historian (the founder and head of Piotr Piotrowski Center for Research on East-Central European Art) Magdalena Radomska, is followed by the screening of Druga linija (The Other Line), directed by Nenad Milošević, 2016. The film is focused on the unique neo-avant-garde art scene in Novi Sad, Serbia in the late 1960s and 70s, depicting works and activities of such artists as: Marko Pogačnik, Želimir Žilnik, Katalin Ladik, Goran Trbuljak, and Raša Todosijević.
