1 March 2012 / Na hrvatskom / Više od sporta


Tonci Kranjcevic Batalic writes in pogledaj.to ("look") on the work of video artists featured in conjunction with the EGLSF AGA opening in Split. 



Što se sve može izraziti koristeći jezik sporta, tema je projekcija koje se ovog vikenda održavaju u Splitu. Kao popratni program konferencije Conte[s|x]ting SPORT, danas u 18h u auditoriumu hostela Goli±Bosi održava se program Više od sporta.

Radovi pet hrvatskih umjetnika, osim video forme u kojoj su prezentirani, veže i izvedbeni akt u kojem usvajaju jezik sporta. Prihvaćajući pravila sporta ili kršeći ih, u video radovima stvaraju nove i nepoznate situacije koje obilježavaju kako osobnu, tako i društvenu realnost.

Pitanja slobode odluke i društveno nametnutih vrijednosti isprepleću se s konstrukcijom rodnog identiteta u radovima Renate Poljak i Vedrana Perkova. Iz perspektive sporta, radovi Sandre Sterle i Borisa Šituma donose apsurdne situacije. Kod Sterle apsurd je oprečan profesionalizaciji sporta te tako ukazuje na estetski i ideološki element koji sport nosi u sebi kao igra, a kod Šituma apsurdno ponavljanje serviranja lopti s krova propale tvornice Uzor problematizira aktualnu društveno-političku situaciju.
