At the end of the sixties, Georges Pompidou,<br />
the then minister of Internal Affairs, whose<br />
name was given to this renowned cultural<br />
centre, arrested Vaneigem and Debord several<br />
times. Hardly surprising that Debord<br />
did not visit this exhibition and that other<br />
situationists also refused to support it.<br />

In Denmark, the most discussed topic at<br />
present is the canonization of culture. The<br />
Danish Ministry of Culture has established<br />
new canons about which contemporary artworks<br />
are to be considered Danish. This is of<br />
course a consequence and a continuation of<br />
conservative anti-immigration politics. Lars<br />
von Trier is one of the artists mentioned,<br />
although his movies were once considered<br />
radical, and Idiot has consequently become<br />
one of the canonic movies. In this canon,<br />
the Ministry considers some fifteen pieces<br />
of art in music, film and painting as representing<br />
the cultural matrix of „Danishness“.<br />
In painting, they have chosen Asger Jorn,<br />
more precisely his series of modifications<br />
that operate with the ‘détournement’ of images<br />
and objects found at the flea market<br />
and of worthless kitsch paintings he has<br />
transformed into a critical and revolutionary<br />
visuality. We could give a lot of examples of<br />
‘récuperation’...<br />

Halil Altindere from Istanbul repeated on<br />
an oil-painting by a local Turkish artist<br />
what the artist Alexander Brener did in 1997<br />
(Brener painted a dollar with a green spray<br />
onto a painting by Kazimir Maljevič in the<br />
Stedelijk Museum of Amsterdam, and ended<br />
up in prison). Halil repeated this gesture a<br />
few months after Brener, painting a dollar<br />
as a practice of destruction of an aesthetical<br />
position that had become commodificated.<br />
It is interesting to note what happened to<br />
29<br />
čudno da Debord nije posetio ovu izložbu, a<br />
ni drugi situacionisti nisu želeli da je podrže.<br />

U Danskoj je trenutno najaktuelnija tema<br />
kanonizacija kulture. Dansko ministarstvo<br />
kulture je uvelo nove kanone koji određuju<br />
koji bi se savremeni umetnički radovi mogli<br />
smatrati danskim.To je naravno posledica<br />
produžetka konzervativne politike koja<br />
se vodi prema imigrantima. Lars von Trier<br />
je jedan od navedenih umetnika: njegov<br />
film Idiot, koji je nekada bio smatran radikalnim,<br />
takođe je proglašen kanonskim. U<br />
tom kanonu ministarstvo pronalazi nekih<br />
petnaestak radova iz muzike, filma, slikarstva,<br />
koji predstavljaju kulturnu matricu<br />
„Danishness“. U slikarstvu su se odlučili<br />
za Asger Jorna, i to upravo za njegov ciklus<br />
modifikacija koji operiše détournementom<br />
predmeta pronađenih na buvljoj pijaci ili<br />
bezvrednih kič slika, koje je Jorn transformisao<br />
u kritičku i revolucionarnu vizuelnost.<br />
Možemo navesti dosta primera rekuperacije…<br />

Halil Altindere iz Istanbula je ponovio Brenerov<br />
rad (umetnik Alexander Brener je<br />
1997. godine u muzeju Stedelijk u Amsterdamu,<br />
na slici Kazimira Maljeviča zelenim<br />
sprejem nacrtao dolar i zbog toga završio<br />
u zatvoru), na uljanoj slici jednog lokalnog<br />
turskog umetnika. Halil je tim činom (nekoliko<br />
meseci posle Brenera) ponovio ovaj<br />
gest, nacrtavši dolar kao praksu destrukcije<br />
estetskog položaja pretvorenog u komodifikaciju.<br />
Interesantno je šta se kasnije desilo<br />
sa Altindereom: njega nisu uhapsili odmah<br />
kao Brenera, ali je morao da plati kaznu od<br />
oko 5000 dolara. Uspeo je da sa advokatom<br />
promeni odluku suda, tako što se pozvao<br />
na činjenicu da je i sam umetnik. Stoga,<br />
ako neki umetnik interveniše na radu drugog<br />
umetnika, onda to postaje nadograđeni
