For an idea – against the status quo: Analysis and Systematization of Želimir Žilnik’s Artistic Practice was published in 2009 as a part of The Continuous Art Class. This book about an approach to film and other artistic work (creating storyboards, fieldwork) consists of essays in two languages, Serbian and English, and a DVD, and is accompanied by film excerpts, which are analyzed in the essays. In the words of Zoran Pantelić, “we regard these authors as relevant and helpful in overcoming the conservative structure which we have discussed”. Žilnik was an active member of Neoplanta during the first 5 years of its existence, and he is one of few witnesses to that period still active. His contribution to the work of kuda.org is significant, and it is thanks to his collaboration that historical events be reconstructed.
The project For an idea – against the status quo: Analysis and Systematization of Želimir Žilnik’s Artistic Practice is part of two research projects: The Continuous Art Class by New Media Center_kuda.org, the subject of which is the art practices of the neo-avantgarde movement in Novi Sad, and the regional project Political Practices in (Post–) Yugoslav Art, in which kuda.org participates in partnership with other organizations: WHW from Zagreb,
Prelom Kolektiv from Belgrade and SCCA/pro.ba from Sarajevo.
