Milan Atanaskovic - art concept

Mythology and consumption, entropy and emptiness policy in artistic deeds of Milan Atanaskovic.
We live in an epoch in which an artist does not have any invariant support, value, belief, ideology, policy, poetry. There are no firm boundaries between art and culture. We cannot say with certainty whether culture has become a mimesis of art or, loosing its extraordinariness, it has become just one more of powerful production machine of exchange and culture consumption. Destroying the Berlin Wall, bombarding Sarajevo, massacres in Rwanda or WTC destroying in New York seem like a film scenes or TV stories which seem as if they had been seen before they happened in our reality. There is no safe foothold and therefore, the artist resolutely passes from a mark strategy (trust in world where he performs) to determination tactics (zero world position where there is no trust, safety and certainty). Artist simulates (imitates, models, re-create, repeats, takes over) consumption, entropy and emptiness processes as important and recognisable traces-codes of reality with which he directly and literally works in Belgrade and Paris at the end of XX and beginning of XXI century. That exceptional situation Milan Atanaskovic calls POSITION ZERO and establishes his own O SYSTEM.
