Performance of Resistance in Croatia: A Chronotopic Review from the 1990s Onwards

I follow the performance of resistance in performance art in Croatia from the 1990s – i.e. from the disintegration of Yugoslavia – in correlation with the visibility of the performance of resistance in public spaces, whereby emphasis is put on the individual guerrilla action by Igor Grubić (1998), which is considered the first action and provocation supported by the civic self-initiative in Croatia in the 1990s. Hence, considering the war and post-socialism, it is only in 1998 that such a powerful action in the media sense occurred in Croatia, as had been the case in the revolutionary year of 1968 in Yugoslavia with the action Red Peristyle, upon the aura of which Grubić’s Black Peristyle was built. This review of the performance of resistance in Croatia from the 1990s onwards I conclude with the story of Black Nylon Peristyle as the civic performative reaction on the occasion of accession of Croatia to the EU. Thereby I follow chronotopically the performance of resistance in Croatia between 1998 and 2013 with regard to the performative centres, placing the starting and endpoint in Split i.e. Peristyle as the art forum of the performance of resistance in Croatia.
