"All local issues may be classified into those con-
cerning race, class and sexuality. That is what art
deals with today: the planetary dimension with
regional consequences: the sum of local frustrati-
ons. This social dimension is not something new;
it has simply prevailed over the visual, together
with which it made up the art of preceding cen-
turies. Since the stage of abstraction was adopt-
ed in the early 20th century, what is now required
of the individual is that he or she should not be
passive, but that he or she should take part in ra-
ising, understanding, and solving local issues,
since, as has already been mentioned, there are
always and only local issues, and global issues
are the product of local ones."

"Svi lokalni problemi dijele se na rasu, klasu i
seksualnost. To je ono dime se danas bavi urnjetnost:
planetarnom dimenzijom s regionalnim
posljedicama: zbrojem lokalnih frustracija. Ova
socijalna dimenzija nije nita nova, ona je samo
prevladala vizualnu, $ kojom je zajedno inila
umjetnost prethodnih stoljea. Kako je laza apstrahiranja
ve usvojena poetkom 20. stoljeda,
sada se ad jedinke trai da ne bude pasivna,
ve da sudjeluje u postavljanju, razumijevanju i
rjeavanju lokalnih problema, jer, kao to je ve
naznaeno, postoje uvijek i samo lokalni problemi,
a globalni su proizvod lokalnih."

Is community a thing which exists apart from us?
Or is it something that we are part of?
Or is it something that we do together?

Indoctrination 2000/2001
Indoctrination is a work in progress, an invitation for the audience. The
public is invited to leave its messages, thoughts, doubts, and frustrations
with or without,ire. Indoctriantion is a dialogue with a public where
public asks the qtiestions and leaves the answers. So, the work starts with
just a few messages which I left at the opening and it
should be accomplished with the touch of public.
