Our collective memory is shaped by the ideology of the day. The politics of memory enables a regime to record its version of the past. History is conditioned by this shared remembrance.
The decaying brutalist monuments from Tito's Yugoslavia form the backdrop for Monumentalism - an exhibition curated by Anthony Bautovich at Kudos Gallery opening on Tuesday the 8th of November from 5-7pm.
Designed and built in the ‘60s and ‘70s these gestures to modernism are located at sites of battles and concentration camps commemorating the victims of fascism in WWII.
The exhibition will bring together International and Australian artists to respond to the emotional, political and social impact of the failings of the single party state
The exhibiting artists are Croatian multimedia artist Igor Grubić, Dutch photographer Jan Kempenaers, Sydney artists Tim Bruniges, Biljana Jancić, Kuba Dorabialski, Kusum Normoyle and Vienna based artist Marko Lulić.
