The extension of Dragoljub Raša Todosijević’s work from 1975 was performed for the first time ten years ago as part of the Pančevo Biennale and October XXX Symposium by curator Jelena Vesić. Several artists and critics were invited to re-perform and bring it into line with contemporary events the issues once raised as part of the October 75 project, initiated by Dunja Blažević at the Student Cultural Centre in 1975, as a counter-exhibition against the October Salon, which at that time was a kind of bureaucratic cultural event with bourgeois-modernist tendencies.
For the Belgrade performance of the Edinburgh Statement – Who makes profit on art and who gains from it honestly, Milica Tomić will perform a spatial-semantic extension of Raša Todosijević’s work, by introducing current positions and functions within the ‘system of art’,
