Mladen Bizumic. Hotel Jugoslavija: A Repository with a View
20.09.2012 - 25.10.2012
Georg Kargl Box, Wien / Österreich
The “Hotel Jugoslavija” was the largest hotel in the Socialist Federative Republic Yugoslavia and one of the three main public buildings of the new capital – today to be seen as a representation of the internationally recognizable statement of ideological and aesthetic ambitions behind the construction of an entire project of the Socialist Yugoslavia.
In his show Hotel Jugoslavija: A Repository with a View Mladen Bizumic shows photographs and video recordings, as a result of investigation and observation of the current state of the building, next to sculptural material “borrowed” from the hotel itself.... The exhibited objects and documents represent both: parts of an archive in the process of coming into being and the subjectivity of the “comprehensibility” of these objects through their mutual collaging and re-aesthetisation. The video in particular links the investigative dimension of the work with its spatial configuration to create a specific audio-visual space, that is a space in-between the potential from the past, the complexity of the present and the possibility of the future.
