UNITS OF SPEAKERS THREATEN THE PEACE
|
| “And by Wednesday I’ve got to have everything ready. But now if I think about it, there’s still a chance to postpone it, yeah, that would be good, because then I could get done what I haven’t done yet, but then again it’s not like it can wait, and what’s got to get done gets done.

QUESTIONS FOR ARTIST SOKOL BEQIRI
|
| "Mr. Beqiri, could you briefly explain the current political situation in Kosovo, its future and role of UNMIK? The shortest way to describe the current political situation is unclear. Unclear, because of the undefined status of Kosovo. I feel that the UNMIK is a part of the former Yugoslav system, a bureaucratic, autocratic, ineffective and expensive administration. I see the future of Kosovo as… |

BEYOND THE NEW ART OF KOSOVO
|
| "Experimentation and great about-faces in the international art scene are responsible for the spread of Kosovar fine arts. There is not a long tradition here in the fine arts — until recently there were only two pioneering generations of modern artists — and self-content, non-conflict academicism is dominant.

IS THERE ANY CONTEMPORARY CULTURE IN KOSOVO?
|
| "Since 1999, the international force of
NATO and UNMIK (United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo) has
created partial freedom for people who live in Kosovo. For over ten years Yugoslavia had taken from Albanians all their basic rights to education, work, health and culture. So the 1999 “Turning Point” was considered a wave of freedom among the international public.

RECYCLING OF NATIONAL MYTHS IN SERBIAN ART OF THE NINETIES
|
| "Production of social space in FRY It could be argued that the specific socio-political framework and context in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was in many ways unique in Europe. The way social space was produced, starting from the end of the 1980s in the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and later in the new Republics that were formed after its disintegration, was extremely… |

PROVOKE ME, SISLEJ
|
| "Horses like sugar, its taste. Making use of the pleasure that this powerful animal takes in sweet things, artist Sislej Xhafa, in the middle of the empty gallery space, placed a 162-centimeter-high terracotta sculpture of the legendary Italian hero Giuseppe Garibaldi with a few crystals of sugar in one hand, and a plastic blue bag full of sugar in the other hand. But the horse — the ubiquitous… |
