Talk at Ausstellung Laibach Kunst, Łódź, 23rd June

I will be giving a talk on ‘Laibach Kunst and the Art of Total Non-Alignment’at the exhibition on June 23^rd at 6pm. Codex Europa and Wiktor Skok will DJ in an industrial vein afterwards.

This Polish site has a short film which has a clip from the opening performance, similar to the one given at I.C.R.N.’s RoTr event in 2006.

Read more here about this major exhibition, which presents the most comprehensive overview of Laibach Kunst works yet staged.

Dear Alexei!
I would like to thank you for your speech in Łódź. I enjoyed it very much and think that it was the most important talk during Ausstellung Laibach Kunst.

J.M. Bowers - Edison's Residue

This is an edited version of my presentation at the launch events in Bled and Ljubljana... This all began twenty-three years ago in Trbovlje when posters briefly appeared with a black cross and the word “Laibach”. No-one then could have imagined we would be here today, presenting this , but in the end time always catches up with itself. What would the former resident of this place have made of this gathering and his place on the cover of the book? Perhaps the situation seems even stranger because this book is not by a Slovene author. What right does a foreign author have to come here and present your history? The same right that Laibach and NSK had to respond to the cultures and symbols that intruded on their space. These artists took for themselves a rig...
