Story On Copy

Story On Copy, made after the recollections of the Doorman of Salon de Fleurus.
Audio Documents, the exhibition-research project "The Case of Students' Cultural Centre in the 1970s", chapter "New Artistic Practices' in the Former Yugoslavia: From the Leftist Critique of Socialist Bureaucracy to the Post-Communist Artifacts in Neo-Liberal Institution of Art".

The series of documents — which includes the performative gestures and verbal statements of Mladen Stilinović, Raša Todosijević, Goran Trbuljak as well as the memories of the doormen of Salon de Fleurus — deals with the questions of free time, work, production and money, re-claiming that creative work [even if it appears in the form of radical negation of work and institutionalized forms of creative production] is subjugated to the market economy as any other kind of work.
The displayed documents reveal the early consciousness about the dangers and misleadings in understanding the function of immaterial labour within the upcoming transformation of capitalism, with its development of cultural industries and new 'attention' and 'experience' economies. Conceptualist systematic negation of manual work and marketable value of an artwork/object, on the other hand, leads to the fetishization of the idea, and it is precisely "the idea" that becomes the most valuable and marketable product in the last few decades.
