Belgrade, 104 pages
Bora Ćosić’s book, both about and based on the principle of mixed media, is an extraordinary example of a collaged structure of visual and written material: essays, reproductions, quotations, newspaper clippings, photocopies, etc. that bring together the art history of the 20th century in a multi-layered way: conceptual art, film theory, philosophy, social criticism, and sociological research combine to result in a specific index/encyclopedia of concepts. “Mixed Media” looks at topics including the artistic practices of the time, the international neo-avant-garde movement of the 1960s (and later), and movements and practices such as Fluxus, Neo-Dada, Neo-Constructivism, visual poetry, conceptual art, etc., which have the principle of “mixed media” as their main feature.
