From the hippie belief that one song can change the world we quickly reached the conviction that nothing, especially art, can change anything. If we believe that this is so, if we negate the power of intervention, then expression is determined in advance as performative.

When similar feelings (self-doubt, fear, feeling lost, isolated and alone) washed over me about a month later in a creative situation during the final stages of preparation of my performance I remembered that adventure and I thought about how every creative process or creative path was exactly like that - an unknown path with a bear nearby.

Are you under the impression that the inhabitants of the yugosphere, especially men, behave like children? In no way, god forbid, that would be an intolerable colonial thought about this postcolonial time; it would be a politically incorrect statement in these politically correct times. And yet – the old-fashioned, psychoanalytically-minded observer could fancy that the inhabitants of the yugosphere, especially the men, remain stuck in this exceedingly comfortable anal stage.

Gay rights, ethnic minority rights and the rights of heterodox religious communities have grown out of the Enlightenment, the time when tolerance rather than religious dogma, personal reasoning rather than mindless groupthink, were established as key values in European culture. Quests for purity, be they anti-Semite or anti-Islamic, are counterreactions against this central value in European identity. It should be a source of pride, not resentment, that the freedom of religion has been achieved...

Is that so – the sad tax inspector said to the obeying Leandrito, passing him a shiny object – take this loaded weapon, and please take revenge, with only one shot, without missing.

“The Ten Commandments form the constitution of the European morals world. It contains abstract norms which need to be constantly explained. Every average human is capable of living in accordance with these norms if they have them in sight. It is possible to over-fulfill norms, just like Jesus who expected the same from his apostles, but this is neither necessary nor desired when it comes to the average person.”

A nomad doesn't roam in search of his identity. Travel isn't a means to construct an identity for him, much less an escape from the burden of his own identity. A nomad isn't a new age white man traveling to India where he is given all the answers so that he may return home a different person. A nomad returns from his journeys unchanged.

At the end of last year, after additional “belt-tightening”, a new wave of strikes and pickets began. After heated debates and countless smaller actions, after seven rounds of unsuccessful negotiations and mass rallies in all major Dutch cities (called “Angry Marches” and “Marches for Respect”), on February 27th 2012, around 2000 cleaners occupied the University of Utrecht with the support of students. Like many other public institutions, the universities had began to cut spending “at the...

Thinking, is remembering, is creating, is forgetting.

[Translate to English:] V uniji sta se srečala različna materiala izkušenj. Oba sta del evropske zgodovine. Ne moreta zanikati drug drugega, toda zanimanje za drugega še zdaleč ni vzajemno. Govorimo o vzajemnosti in enakovrednosti večje in močnejše polovice Evrope, toda bati se je, da zaradi enostranskosti zanimanja in predvsem pomanjkanja eksaktnega poznavanja ne bo prišlo do vzajemnosti in evropske integracije. Informacijski deficit in s tem vzporedna samozadostnost Berlina, Pariza, Londona,...

It is good that every now and then confidence takes a look into a mirror that does not always reflect the prettiest image. That is what the city that bore me does to me and it has every right to do so, because I would not have been here if it hadn’t been for it. Ljubljana is responsible for my substance, Maribor for my sole existence. That is why I will always hate my dark companion. With all my love.

"If the town’s cultural level is only reflected in shopping centers and events there, whose main purpose is only to increase consumption, then the Slovenian culture is at a very poor (if not to say sick) level."

"The practical and well-known solution for us Styria natives then is boozing and not very interesting sitting around in bars. In contrast to the described scene, our locally patriotic city spirit is strengthened with group highs, which we are proud of in the end in our final, smoky stage, because it is a part of our culture. But sadly, instead of singing, dancing, or chatting in some comfortable backstage, this ends under a bar, in a broken down car or a round room."

Today, when it is clear that the ECC as a year-long event will only be a pale shadow of the initial projects, in terms of infrastructure as well as the other ones, and that the Universiade may never happen, I do not feel triumphant and I most certainly do not feel like going around saying: “Well, see now? Were we, the critics right or not?” I would be far happier if I was wrong and the Mayor was right. So now what I regret the most (more than some facades and some of, in my opinion, not...

"Three thousand reinforced shoes made their way from the car factory to the Slovenian employment service. Proletarians from all countries were dragged deep in the mud and dust and the giant Radoslav who stood aside and gathered thoughts for the last edition of the factory newspaper got dizzy. He felt dizzy and dizzier until the proletarian fell straight onto the concrete curve. This living force fell all over the floor and the redundant employee was left lying on the ground."
