Monuments should not be trusted

Monuments Should Not Be Trusted' brings together over 30 leading artists and groups from the ?golden years? of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia - the period between the early 1960s and the mid 1980s.0Over 100 artworks, music video's, TV art commissions and artefacts illuminate the key contradictions of this single party state ? built after WWII on socialist principles, yet immersed in ?utopian consumerism.? This is the first time in the UK that the art of this period, which has attracted increasing attention, has been shown in the context of the social, economic and political conditions that gave rise to it. It draws on new and innovative research on this period, and features many of its most celebrated artists.00Exhibition: Nottingham Contemporary, United Kingdom (16.01.-04.03.2016).
