Frakcija, a Performing Arts Magazine, was established ten years ago by a group of dramaturgs, theatre theoreticians, critics and artists based in Zagreb. From its first issue Frakcija has been providing a theoretical and critical support for projects that were of marginal interest to the (not only Croatian) mainstream media, theatre criticism and official drama and theatre studies. Until 2000 Frakcija has published one international issue every year, in collaboration with various production units, performing arts centres and festivals.

Sofia Queer Forum

11/07/2023In Bodies Politics

Sofia Queer Forum is an event that investigates, with the means of contemporary arts, gender and sexuality as parallel systems through which we value ourselves and the others around us. These systems have a strong influence on all aspects of culture and society. The influence is, of course, two-sided. This is why in focus here is also the changing of the concepts “gender” and “sexuality” depending on social, political, cultural and medical factors that are inherent in a given time and space. Sofia Queer Forum is not only a platform for the representation of art with specific issues, but it also has the aim to provide space for generating ideas and creative stimulus by meeting different generations and cultures. Directors of the forum are Boryana Rossa and Stanimir Panayotov.

Videoart by Marina Gržinić & Aina Šmid

10/07/2023In Bodies Politics

Website with video art works, archives and different materials related to the work of Marina Gržinić and Aina Šmid, whohave been working with video since 1982. They participated in more than 40 video art projects, shot a 16mm short film and created numerous video and media installations; they independently directed several video documentaries and television productions. In 1997, they created an interactive CD-ROM for the ZKM in Karlsruhe. Gržinić and Šmid presented and exhibited their video works and video installations at more than 100 video festivals around the world and received several important awards for their video production. Porno codes, thriller situations and overtly formulated political catastrophes (as in the video Bilocation, from 1990, in which they announced the splitting of ex-Yugoslavia and the war in the Balkans) are the basic elements of their work. In the 1980s they tried to question the Socialist ideology. In the 1990s they focused their work on subverting the Western system of aesthetics/ethics/visuality. Art and pornography were silently forbidden, and body art never came to life in Slovenia. Today they are obsessed with turbo capitalist system, processuality and politics of performativity.
