Novy Zivot/New Life. Vitazoslav Hronec, Editor. Novi Sad,
Yugoslavia. 1989.
Vol. 41, No. 12 (December 1989). Offset. 8"x5 1/2". 79 pages. "In this
issue the journal "Novy Zivot" attempts to give new meaning to its name./ The
phrase new life (novy zivot) today has a completely different meaning than it had
forty years ago, when this magazine began publication./ Today we are
irrevocably integrated into a global civilization which above all owes its universal
character to improved means of transmitting information. In such a situation, the
above-mentioned phrase can no longer have only this single, ideological
dimension it should presumably reflect dimensions of civilization and culture...For
this reason, we asked more than one hundred alternative artists from around the
world to contribute, through their own works, to a better definition of this new
world, this new life we are living at the close of the twentieth century." Andrej
