Samo Gosaric (SL): Walk performance
Walk Performance consists of a series of re-enactments by Gosaric of historical walking performances from the neo-avant-garde period from Southeast and Eastern Europe. Five of the performances are re-enactments of public actions from Slovenia’s main neo-avant-garde group OHO and date from 1965 to 1970. Another five are re-enactments of well-known public space performances from the same region and approximately the same time period (Günter Brus, Tomislav Gotovac, Dezider Tóth JiÅ™í Kovanda and L’ubomír ÄŽurÄek).

“For a writer and an artist in the field of performing arts my primary interest lies in the Slovene neo-avantgarde. Walk Performance is an ongoing project, which encompasses the exploration and re-enactments of walking performances of the neo-avantgarde period (1960s and 70s) from Southeast and Eastern Europe where this practice was relatively frequent due to various social factors. The research, which is part of my MA studies, and the artistic reconstruction serve as sources to one another and are mutually intertwined”.
