In this video Ana Janevski, Associate Curator in the Department of Media and Performance Art, interviews the Croatian artist Mladen Stilinović in his apartment in Zagreb in March 2013 during the C-MAP Central and Eastern European group trip to Novi Sad, Belgrade, Ljubljana and Zagreb. Given the artist’s recent passing in July 2016, these excerpts feel especially timely for the light they shed on the beginnings of his career and some of his most well know works, including Exploitation of the Dead, which is part of the MoMA Collection.

Where the Lightnings Have Their Palace: Erna Rosenstein and Global Surrealisms

In this text, Dorota Jagoda Michalska writes about Erna Rosenstein (1913–2004), a Jewish Polish postwar artist. Michalska opens up a transnational perspective, inviting us to look at the artist’s oeuvre through the lens of global surrealisms, connecting her articulations of Holocaust trauma with the work of artists who have dealt with slavery, genocide, exile, and colonial dispossession.
