Description

A pioneering Slovenian art collective, the NSK originated in Slovenia in the early 1980s. The NSK exhibited at the 2017 International Art Exhibition in Venice (the 57th). They created a sloping installation that celebrates the shaky foundations of their imaginary country, and offers a ‘passport’ for the dispossessed. The NSK State was formed in 1992.

It explores the meaning of states, nations and statelessness. Here’s a link to an interesting BBC article about the NSK. And a link to their official site.

About

We aim to incorporate:

– an ideas exchange – with various forums for discussion and debate
– resources sections with hyperlinks and actual information material. Potentially an online library with links to specific resources and publications, images, videos, and
– a 'web of hubs’ to sites, organisations and individuals around the world.
It’s a bold dream…we hope you and friends will help it grow…
