The New Art Practice in Yugoslavia, 1966-1978

primitive statements.
form - material: geometrical structure (in itself, linguistic
structures) setting out formulative and social attitudes, logical
structures. it is necessary to stress the predominant character
of the geometrical component and the possible relation with
previous post and geometrical arts.
generalization of previous statements: work is determined
by the application of analytic methods on visual (mental
structure) processes. the context of shifting from the notion
object-language to the notion of procedure, i.e. to the notion
of function.
II developed primary position
developed primary position means the predominant character
of the ethical premises work/art.
the ethical position makes necessary the introduction of a
kind of semantic approach (on statements which are not
necessarily rational) through:
the creation of a formulative cognitive system;
the creation of a system of actions form of experience
possibility of empirical assumptions.
artistic work founded on non-repressive principle of
production progress (structures of minimal change) requires
the setting up of a (micro) culture in which reason and
sensibility exist through the self-assumed unity of directness.
II procedure on books
- structures I, II, Ill (also refers to the other individual
books from that period 1974 1975). process of reduction:
visual structures mental structures prevail, possible
relations of formulating («the same.): visual structure
numerical structure structure of statement (sentennce).
classifications, mental constructions - works, grammar of
time (1975,1976). textual formulations (series of statements).
mental images «thought experiment», introduction of
analysis of process through diagrams, processes external to the
syntactic determination of the structure.
works I, II, III (1976 1977)
works I: analyses of «process» as «object-language»
drawings diagrams.
works II: analysis of the relation between analytical and
aesthetic structures, starting point: digram from paul klee's
book 'pedagogical notebook».
works Ill: analysis of relation between rational (logical)
structures statements and metaphysical structures statements
visual structure as compared with «thought
contemplated») problems which previous works excluded.
