IRWIN(Slovenian artists group,?)

友人からロシアのグループと聞いていましたが、ドイツにいるスロベニアの人たちだったのですね。ポリティカルなコンセプトをもとに、シニカルにパフォーマンス、インスタレーションなんでもやります。そのセンスがすごくばからしくて好きです。コミュニスト世界のアバンギャルド・アートです。写真は天井のペインティングを吊るされて観るパフォーマンスとマレービッチのペインティングや有名絵画を使ったインスタレーション作品。どうしても日本のアート教育はアメリカよりなので、こんなアーティストを知るのは難しいでしょう。
Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK)というグループの一部の人たちによって結成されたようです。ユーゴスラビア時代のスロベニアの人たちと、ドイツ人達がアバンギャルドというテーマのもとで合致、グループを結成。こっちのグループも面白そうなので下に説明のせておきました。

IRWIN is a collective of Slovenian artists, primarily painters, part of Neue Slowenische Kunst (NSK). They describe their own work as “retro-principle” or “retro-avant-garde”.[1] The group is emphatic about their work being collective rather than individual. The IRWIN artists never sign their work individually: instead, they are “signed” with a stamp or certificate indicating approval as a work from the IRWIN collective. In 2004, they have received the Jakopič Award, the highest annual award in Slovene fine arts.[citation needed]

Although primarily painters, they have engaged in many collaborative works with other NSK art collectives, ranging from theater to music video. In 1992, in cooperation with Michael Benson, they created the performance Black Square on Red Square, in which a square of black cloth, 22 meters to a side, was unfurled on Moscow’s Red Square, in homage to Kazimir Malevich and suprematism.

Neue Slowenische Kunst (a German phrase meaning “New Slovenian Art”), aka NSK, is a controversial political art collective that announced itself in Slovenia in 1984, when Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia. NSK’s name, being German, is compatible with a theme in NSK works: the complicated relationship Slovenes have had with Germans. The name of NSK’s music wing, Laibach, is also the German name of the Slovene capital Ljubljana, creating controversy through evoking memories of the Nazi occupation of Slovenia during the Second World War[1]
