SMS held a series of roundtables and a workshop in Zagreb. We were invited to do this by the Slought Foundation. Here is the link: http://slought.org/content/11370/ More to come.
Here is the description from the Slought Foundation's website:
------------------------------
September 04-September 27, 2010
at HDLU - Mestrovic Pavilion, Zagreb, Croatia
Reception on Tuesday, September 07, 2010 ; 6:00-8:00pm
Free, reservation not required
Slought Foundation is pleased to announce "Slought in Transit," an ongoing series of public programs promoting cultural dialogue and institutional exchange. The latest installment will be presented at the HDLU - Mestrovic Pavilion, Croatian Association of Visual Artists, in Zagreb, Croatia, and will take place from September 4-7, 2010. It will include public programs with artists, curators, and architects including Katherine Carl, Aaron Levy, Armin Linke, Osvaldo Romberg, Srdjan Jovanovic Weiss, and others, with a companion installation in the PM Gallery of the Mestrovic Pavilion exploring the activities of the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia. This program has been made possible through the generous support of the Trust for Mutual Understanding, New York and is presented in collaboration with the Virtual Museum of the Avant-garde (www.avantgarde-museum.com), which is assisting in its coordination. For more information, please contact Branko Franceschi, the local organizer of the project.
In the spirit of the conceptual information shows of the early 1970s, the exhibition component of Slought in Transit at the HDLU - Mestrovic Pavilion (http://www.hdlu.hr/eng/) takes the form of an archival exploration revisiting past programs at Slought Foundation about contemporary art, architecture, and social theory. Juxtaposing video documentation of past projects alongside posters, publications, and live discursive events, we communicate Slought Foundation's signature mix of art, culture, and politics to the public of Zagreb.
Live events have been organized in conjunction with the Slought in Transit project in Zagreb. They revolve around the question of “Political Education,” taking a cue from an investigation of the abandoned political school in Kumrovec, and raise questions exploring the way in which the city of Zagreb can be thought of as a political school. Organized by Katherine Carl and in conjunction with the School of Missing Studies, they include:
