FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

The Museum of Revolution in the park of Friendship, New Belgrade, was founded as an institution in 1959. The Museum of Revolution was supposed to be opened in 1981, but just the foundations were laid. All one can see today is a huge concrete platform with iron poles sticking out. The Museum of Revolution that never materialized, was activated as a public event on Saturday December 1, 2007, from noon until 6 pm. Starting from nothing, ending in nothing, it slowly reaches its end until it is totally dark. Something has happened here. What is a museum? According to the international Council of Museums, it is: ‚a non-profit making, permanent institution in the service of society and of its development – open to the public- which acquires, conserves, researches, communicates and exhibits, for purposes of study, education and enjoyment, material evidence of people and their environment.‘
Few know about revolution, its causes its consequences. It has become a print on t-shirts. Icons have become fashion. Is there a new type of revolution in the gaps of our society? With new rules, new presences?
The action emphasizes on the possibility and impossibility to present, show, conserve and exhibit an experience.
