From Productivity to Creativity - the Role of Art Collectives in Solving the Contradictions of the Transitional Period

This essay is a commentary based on Maja Breznik’s two empirical studies on the contradictions between the productive forces and the relations of production of artists/authors in determining the discourse of transition. This elementary contradiction is constitutive of the ideology of visual art. I argue that the political effects of this discourse based on transition can be most explicitly shown in the example of art collectives. I will base this argument on four texts written by East European curators or art producers who have common problems relating to the issues of transition, and contradictions and collectivism in art.
