With Sezgin Boynik we will welcome
a young culture critic from Eastern Europe. His special subjects are
the ideas of the Situationist Internationale and their influence on
the aesthetisation of politics, contemporary modern art and visual
communication.
As an author and frequent editor of art- and culture scientific publications,
like Arta or art-ist for example,
he is engaged in subversive resistance movements in former Yugoslavia
in the seventies and eighties, radical political ideas and the New
Slovenian Art. Apart from sociological and political subjects Boynik
writes for music magazines and fanzines. He published the first article
about the German Krautrock bands Can and Faust to appear in a Turkish
music magazine, a very idiosyncratic analysis utilizing Marxist terminology.
At the Punk! Kongress Sezgin Boynik will critically examine the relationship
between hidden history, Situationist ideas and punk. more...

"When the punks attacked her, the Queen was already a
"dead spectacle". Back in the late seventies she was used
to cover social problems. They fell into the same trap, a society
of spectacle, that millions of English people fell in by watching
the Jubilee of the Queen in 1977 on TV." |
