The spread of the pandemic undermines yesterday’s certainty. Systems are failing.

Our vulnerabilities emerge and remain exposed as raw flesh.

Too many people and artists are now facing unprecedented life hardship.

An invisible virus is conspiring against everyone’s health, the most precious gift given to us, while widespread social crises and economic recession rise at every latitude.

The past squeezes into the present and forces the future to bounce back.

It is as if we were walking on a tightrope with few skills left.

Thus, to reach the other side, at least its edge, we take our risk, and we continue, taking care of the breath of performance art, for it inspires our resistance.

— VestAndPage

The VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK founders and curators VestAndPage have conceived the Performance Art Film Program at MoCA Belgrade in collaboration with artist Marta Jovanović, curator of the Performance Art Program, to support Serbian emerging performance artists, thus, sensitising the nation’s cultural institutions in this regard during these precarious times.

To explore intersections, metabolisms and contaminations that exist between performance art, filmmaking and docufilm, the Performance Art Film Program will showcase an original selection of over 30 performance art films: repertoires of acclaimed performance artist pioneers and masters like Hermann Nitsch, ORLAN, Stelarc, Paul McCarthy, Guillermo Gómez-Peña (La Pocha Nostra), Franko B, Ron Athey (the film by Catherine Saalfield), late Chris Burden (the docufilm by Tim Marrinan and Richard Dewey), Lydia Lunch (the movie by Beth B), alongside ground-breaking productions of internationally recognised artists including Jelili Atiku, Francesca Fini, Hugo Glendinning and Adrian Heathfield, Hsiang-Yun Huang and Sun-Ni Ji, late Jon John, Paul King, Kyrahm + Julius Kaiser, Pyotr Pavlensky (the documentary by Irene Langemann), Preach R Sun, VestAndPage, filmmaker Robert Adanto, and awarded art critic Waldemar Januszczak. On the last evening, emerging Serbian performance artists will present their performance-based films and videos specially imagined for this occasion.

The screening of each film will take place every Saturday at 20:30 for the next 20 weeks.

The film program is at free admission for a limited audience due to the COVID-19 regulations.

Program Partners: Italian Cultural Institute and Austrian Cultural Forum, Belgrade

The VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK would like to heartily thank all participating artists and film directors for their generosity and commitment in making their works available for the realization of this program.

The VENICE INTERNATIONAL PERFORMANCE ART WEEK is the independent live art exhibition project conceived by artist duo VestAndPage in 2012 and curated since then. It is co-organised by Studio Contemporaneo, non-profit cultural association; We Exhibit, Venice Open Gates, Live Arts Cultures and European Cultural Centre, GAA Foundation, which hosts the project in its premises in Venice, Italy.

The Performance Art Program at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade is a brainchild of the artist Marta Jovanović. It is designed as a contemporary platform to provide artists and curators from the country, the region as well as internationally, a field of action in which the exchange of ideas, experiment and creation are basic rules. This “live platform” will include performances, round tables, lectures, workshops, film screenings, and exhibitions of both local and international artists working and creating within the discipline. It aims to support local artists and initiatives, as well as to facilitate interaction and co-creation with international artists and curators in the field of performance art. Belgrade is one of the most significant historical capitals of performance art, not only in the region but also in the world: the Serbian (former Yugoslav) Avant-Garde that rose to prominence in the 1970s, with artists, filmmakers and curators including Marina Abramović, Rasa Todosijević, Neša Paripović, Ješa Denegri among others. By creating the Performance Art Program at MoCA Belgrade, the Serbian contemporary art scene is taking a step closer to the world capital cities in the domain of contemporary art.

Il comunicato dell'Istituto  italiano di cultura di Belgrado:

L’Istituto italiano di Cultura di Belgrado partecipa alla Giornata del Contemporaneo, un’iniziativa per la promozione del mondo dell'arte contemporanea organizzata dall’AMACI - Associazione dei musei d'arte contemporanea italiani e coordinata dalla Direzione Generale Arte e Architettura contemporanee e Periferie urbane del MiBAC. Con la collaborazione avviata nel corso delle ultime edizioni con il Ministero degli Affari Esteri e della Cooperazione Internazionale, anche Ambasciate, Consolati e Istituti Italiani di Cultura all’estero organizzano eventi per la valorizzazione dell’arte e della cultura italiana contemporanea.


In questo quadro l’IIC collabora quest’anno con il Museo di Arte Contemporanea di Belgrado nella presentazione del “Performance Art Film Program” che si inaugura il 31 ottobre. Curata dalla Venice International Performance Art Week del duo artistico italo-tedesco VestandPage nell’ambito del Performance Art Program del Museo, concepito dall’artista italo-serba Marta Jovanović, la manifestazione propone per 20 settimane la proiezione di una serie di video di performance art in cui spicca la presenza di artisti italiani.

Il Performance Art Film Program presso il Museo di Arte Contemporanea di Belgrado è concepito quale piattaforma moderna, in cui oltre le performance vi saranno tavole rotonde, conferenze, film e mostre di artisti serbi e internazionali del settore. L’obbiettivo è quello di agevolare interazioni e co-creazione con gli artisti e curatori internazionali nell’ambito della performance.

I film saranno presentati presso il Museo di Arte Contemporanea di Belgrado ogni sabato alle ore 20.30 durante venti settimane a partire dal 31 ottobre 2020.
