“Like the famous Slovenian band Laibach, his work also represents a walking of the very thin line between moral and perverse interpretations of history and contemporary global events, which are not clearly distinguishable at first glance.” Dragoljub “Raša” Todosijević (born 1945) is a Serbian artist belonging to the first generation of neo-avant-garde artists of the so-called New Art Practice of the 1970s. Together with Marina Abramović, he is one of the most prominent artists of the former Yugoslavia and today’s Serbia. The themes and strategies of Todosijević’s works from the 1970s correspond to the interests of our artists (Petr Miler, Petr Štembera and Jan Mlčoch) in working with their own bodies in a political sense. His later conceptual works relate to rudimentary questions of history and our relationship to ideologies in the broadest sense.
