Ilija Šoškić, the title giver of FLUID ACADEMY : MAXIMAL ENERGY - MINIMAL TIME, is one of the pioneers of action art. He never calls his actions performances, but rather forms of action, gestures. This was also the case with AZIONE GESTUTATE on July 3, which was unannounced to everyone - including us curators - and which he carried out along the corridor with the historical references to Jean Tinguely: Disappearing into the vanishing point - forming a kind of repoussoir figure in Tinguely's landscape - he returned - despite the applause (he later told us that he had never received applause before, which was quite unusual for him) along the corridor reminiscent of an airport terminal, and produced resonating beats with his cane... Time - space - body... in clandestine action.
