Via nova / Via Negativa / Slovenia
Director: Bojan Jablanovec


Paradoks novog
Još je 2002 godine, na počecima Via Negative, najavljen rad na produkciji Via Nova . Objava je nastala iz svijesti o logici suvremene umjetničke produkcije koja umjetniku diktira trajni proces kreacije nečeg novog, a koja je zapravo paradoks. Novo postaje ujedno i anticipirano, a predvidjeti se može samo predvidljivo. S druge strane, Novo, kao nikad prije viđeno može zbuniti, poniziti, ili razočarati. Užitak biva generiran iz Novog samo ukoliko se nalazi unutar predviđenog, onog što ga najavljuje. Via Nova se oslanja na užitak ovog paradoksa.

Via Nova izvlači svih osam produkcija Via Negative nastalih u periodu 2002 do 2008, kako bi re-producirala materijal u novom kontekstu i novom formatu, ujedno i razotkrila značenja koja su Via Negativi promakla. Via Nova je projekt projiciran kao ciklus 30 performansa kojima grupa nastoji podvući položaj, važnost i utjecaj performera kao kreatora suvremene umjetnosti. Namjera je ponuditi gledatelju pogled na Via Negativu u novom kontekstu, ne opet, već iz-nova, Via Nova .

Paradox of the New
It was already in 2002, at the start of Via Negativa, that we announced our intention to produce Via Nova. This announcement was made from our awareness that the logic of contemporary art production which dictates the artist to keep producing something new is essentially a paradox. The new is at once already the fore-seen; and one can only foresee what is foreseeable. On the other hand, the New as never-having-been-seen-before tends to perplex, embarrass, even disappoint. Pleasure is generated by the New only within what is fore-seen, what announced it. Via Nova relies on the pleasure of this paradox.

In Via Nova we will draw on all the eight productions of Via Negativa that emerged between 2002 and 2008, so as to rework this material in a new context and a new format, and open up meanings that have eluded us in Via Negativa. The Via Nova project is conceived of as a series of 30 performances. With this series, we wish to highlight the position, meaning, and significance of the performer as a creator of contemporary art. The intention of Via Nova is to make the spectator see Via Negativa in a new context, not again, but anew – Via Nova.
