Sažetak
In the last ten years, Yugoslav monuments have enjoyed widespread international visibility and attention. While the post-socialist context of such displays would require a separate analysis, this paper will focus on Yugoslav politics and models of exhibiting monuments to the Peoples’ Liberation Struggle and the Socialist Revolution in the international context. Conveying both artistic and political commitments, modernist monuments appeared as an effective cultural diplomatic tool already in the 1960s, in the context of Yugoslavia’s non-aligned geopolitical and cultural strategy. In this paper Horvatinčić presents several models of international display of Yugoslav monuments: from multilingual photo publications in the 1960s through solo exhibitions of individual artists in 1970 (M. Živković, D. Džamonja, S. Tihec), to diplomatic exhibitions that travelled across the world in the 1980s. The analysis will focus on two case studies: the exhibition of Yugoslav monuments at the 1980 Venice Biennale, curated by Zoran Kržišnik, and the travelling exhibition Yugoslav Memorial Sculpture, produced in 1984/85 by the Museum of the Revolution of Yugoslav People in Belgrade, which travelled to Mexico, USSR, Cuba, Angola, and Mozambique. Based on archival research, she will try to reconstruct both of these exhibitions, and their respective representative strategies and discourses.
