NSK Garda

[Irwin] NSK Garda refers to the project in which the slovenian art group Irwin collaborates with various European armies. In these actions soldiers, with Malevich's cross on their sleeves, raise and guard the flag of the NSK State in Time. In that sense it is not really a performance but more some sort of tableau vivant of the real army wearing a Malevich cross. Art society and army society are social structures that are usually totally opposite to each other and very rarely mix. With this action Irwin is organizing this encounter. As an art state NSK is in fact in parasitic relation with other, normal states and in this project this is made visible. Dusan Mandic, member of IRWIN, intoduces the recent performance in Kosovo.
