ARTMargins Publishes Special Issue on Serbian Contemporary Art Scene from 2000-2012
A special issue focusing on Serbian art from 2000 to 2012, edited by Nikola Dedić, has been published by ARTMargins. It examines the evolution of the art scene after the fall of Slobodan Milošević's regime, highlighting the transition from nationalistic isolation to neoliberalism and European integration, referencing ideas from Dejan Sretenović and Miško Šuvaković. The landscape features both state institutions, like the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade, and independent groups such as Remont and kuda.org. Serbian artists have also engaged in international platforms like Manifesta. Notable artists include Milica Tomić and Zoran Todorović, with interviews from Miško Šuvaković included. Dedić is affiliated with the Faculty of Philosophy in Niš and the University of Arts in Belgrade.
