In his essay The Case Against Art, the anarchist<br />

writer John Zerzan criticizes postmodern<br />

and other aspects of art and its entrance<br />

into civilisation. Zerzan doesn’t criticize<br />

art as such, but the ways it is presented in a<br />

culture. For him, art is problematic because<br />

it speaks in a symbolic language mediated<br />

through experts who tell us what art is and<br />

what we should learn and experience as art.<br />

The majority of artists in the field of anarchism<br />

are linked in their activities to postanarchism<br />

or queer theory. A large number<br />

of participants in the field of contemporary<br />

art consider it inevitable to actively enter the<br />

art system, claiming that we cannot neglect<br />

it nor find any strategy to avoid it. According<br />

to them, it is necessary to enter the system<br />

with an rhizomatic idea about relations and<br />

to “invisibly” destruct and destroy it through<br />

various positions of identity - to play with<br />

the system in a way that simply makes its<br />

functioning impossible on different levels.<br />

This is more or less the current state of the<br />

discourse between postanarchism and contemporary<br />

art.<br />

The attitude of anarchists towards art has<br />

always been critical and entrance into the<br />

system (even as an extreme strategy/anti-<br />

strategy) especially problematic. Only free<br />

play in everyday life can open a space for<br />

direct interpersonal contact and direct action<br />

and the symbolic models of artistic<br />

communication cannot replace that.<br />

samu po sebi, nego kritikuje prikazivanje i<br />

načine predstavljanja u kulturi. Za Zerzana<br />

umetnost je problematična jer govori<br />

simboličkim jezikom, isposredovanim kroz<br />

eksperte, koji nam govore šta je to zapravo<br />

umetnost, ili šta bi trebalo da naučimo i<br />

doživimo kao takvu.<br />

Veći broj umetnika i umetnica u polju<br />

anarhističkog, danas su u svojoj aktivnosti<br />

vezani za postanarhizam ili queer teoriju.<br />

Veliki broj učesnika i učesnica u polju savremene<br />

umetnosti smatra da je neophodno<br />

aktivno ući u sistem umetnosti, da ga<br />

ne možemo zanemariti ili mu pronaći zaobilaznu<br />

strategiju. Potrebno je ući u sistem<br />

sa rizomatskom predstavom o odnosima, i<br />

kroz razne pozicije identiteta „nevidljivo“ ga<br />

poništavati i urušavati; igrati se sa sistemom<br />

tako da jednostavno onemogućimo njegovo<br />

funkcionisanje na raznim planovima. U<br />

tom pravcu se kreće aktuelni diskurs kreiran<br />

između postanarhizma i savremene umetnosti.<br />

Odnos anarhistkinja i anarhista prema umetnosti<br />

je oduvek bio kritički, a ulazak u sistem<br />

umetnosti (makar i kao sporedna strategija/anti-strategija)<br />

posebno problematičan.<br />

Samo slobodna igra u svakodnevnom životu,<br />

može otvoriti prostor za direktan međusobni<br />

kontakt i direktnu akciju, koje simbolički<br />

modeli umetničke komunikacije ne mogu<br />

nadomestiti.<br />
