Jacques Rancière, On the Shores of Politics

As the ideals of democracy appear increasingly beleaguered, Jacques Rancière presents an argument of pressing importance. The task confronting us, he argues, is to undermine the crude realism that has governed politics and theory since the declaration of an »end of history« in the 1990s.

Brad Evans, Adrian Parr, Conversations on Violence: An Anthology

Whether physical or metaphorical, institutional or interpersonal, violence is everywhere. A seemingly immutable fact of life, it is nonetheless rarely engaged with at the conceptual level. What does violence actually mean? And is it an inevitable part of the human condition? Conversations on Violence brings together many of the world's leading critical scholars, artists, writers and cultural producers to provide a kaleidoscopic exploration of the concept of violence.

At the occasion of the opening of extensive posthumous exhibition of Božidar Dolenc (23 February – 6 June 2021) at the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova we highlight catalogs related to photography.

 

Also featuring a new catalog Autography, Uncanniness, Rebellion: the Photography of Božidar Dolenc. Božidar Dolenc is one of the most prominent and most renowned artists in the field of photography from the second half of the twentieth century in Slovenia. The exhibition and catalog present the work of an artist who, with his non-conformist spirit, created photographic poetics recognizable by almost painful relentlessness and semantic bitterness, distinguished by the special visual aesthetics of alternative culture events.
