Sažetak
The paper will present the specific model of artistic production initially established and developed during the period from the late 60-ies up till the late 80-ies in the former Yugoslavia, familiar as art-colony or art-symposium. This model of artistic production resulted with the embellishment of neighbourhood environment and up to present days secured the major part of sculptural art-works of non-commemorative character in the public areas – mostly arranged as the sculpture-parks but also placed as the single pieces situated on appropriate public sites. The art colonies and art symposiums were organized on the local initiative and were primarily bound to certain industrial production or natural resources that might have been used as the material in the process of art fabrication. The number of approximately 80 colonies and symposia that were active in the mentioned period in all Yugoslav republics (among them around 15 were exclusively dedicated to sculpture) speaks for the wide acceptance of this kind of art production. In the paper the historical context of this phenomenon will be thoroughly explained: its specific conceptual and ideological background in the circumstances of late socialism, its typical manifestations on the level of organization, the constitutive problems and their discussion. Their sculptural legacy will also be briefly presented: the type of artworks as well as their fate in the present time – on the level of public policies and on the level of communal consciousness. Finally, some conclusions for the understanding of modernism will be drawn: primarily, on the diversity of its social and ideological meaning in different historical contexts, on the flexibility of its time-duration as well as on the historical conditionality of its comprehension and evaluation.
