[SCCA] Lecture of Goran Djordjevic

[SCCA-Ljubljana]

WORLD OF ART 2002/2003
Seminar for writing on contemporary art 
Lecture by Goran Djordjevic: History and Museum and Modern Art 
 
 
SCCA-Ljubljana is running the World of Art program already since 1997. With The 
course for curators it educates young future experts in the field of contemporary 
art, while with a series of public lectures it sheds light upon the artistic 
practices and artistic theories necessary for the understanding of the contemporary 
artistic practice. 
This year we are going to introduce a new component into the World of Art program: A 
seminar for writing on contemporary art, which will fill the gap in the theoretical 
and critical reflection and encourage writings on contemporary artistic practices. 
The seminar is scheduled to start in autumn 2003 and will be composed of a year long 
series of workshops and lectures.

The inaugurating event of the autumn seminar is going to take place already next 
week. The lecture entitled History and Museum of Modern Art by Goran Djordjevic will 
take place in Galerija Kapelica on Kersnikova 4 in Ljubljana on Tuesday, 28th January 
2003 at 8 pm. 
 
Goran Djordjevic, a former artist, is a doorman at the Salon de Fleurus in New York 
for over ten years. 
 
 
The story of the History and the Museum of Modern Art was told to Djordjevic already 
years ago by one of the visitors of the Salon de Fleurus. Djordjeviæ thought it was 
interesting and thus he told it – as he remembered it – on numerous 
occasions. This is a story of the origins of the history of modern 20th Century art 
and the role played in it by the MOMA in New York and its first director Alfred Barr 
jr. It originated in the mid 1930’s and after the second world war it was taken 
to Europe and planted into its collective memory as a “natural” history 
of modern art. 
 
The lecture will take place in Serbian language! 
 
You are most welcome to attend the lecture. 
Entrance is free. 
 
 
Sa¹a Glavan
Director of the World of Art program
