Vojislav Klačar
X Parliamentary Elections in the Kingdom of Koreta
Director: Vlatko Ilić

December 23, 2008 – January 11, 2009
Dom Omladine Gallery, Belgrade

X Parliamentary Elections in the Kingdom of Koreta have been executed during the time of the exhibition. The audience was following the pre-electoral and electoral processes, that is, the peports from the congresses and the elections, thourgh the series of live events. The exhibition setting, in the traditional sense, was based upon the spatial re-organization of the gallery. The exhibited objects were: walls, a television monitor, chairs, a camera, a stand, a microphone, a stand, cables, etc. The space in which Koreta was created during the exhibition was unapproachable for the audience. The reports from the congresses, as well as the electoral results, the audience could daily (12 days) follow through a direct (live) broadcast (in the video room, the front space) of conversations that Klačar held (in the back space, where the work is being created) with invited guests or randomly chosen memebers of the audience. While the participant in the conversation inscribes him/herself into the material trace of the exhibition/performance (the video recording), the rest of the audience watches the screening or peeks into the space where the work is being created.
The line of separation of the artwork and audience, that is, traditionally fictitious and real world, is set as partially-permeable, and each public event depends upon the act of transgression (in case of there is no audience the report is not being performed).

The series of events, which the author of Koreta Vojislav Klačar initiated with the theatre director Vlatko Ilić, is conceptualized as a cross-disciplinary intervention into the body or visual arts discipline, and into the common exhibiting practice and a regime of perception, aiming to further re-think the possible mechanisms of public presentations and performances of Koreta, the artwork which is constantly in becoming.
