All Classifications Will Lose Their Grip

Yugoexport

19 February–1 May 2022

January 1, 2021 marked the beginning of the 'Initiative for Trade Aesthetics (ITA)', a long-term collaboration between Kunst Halle Sankt Gallen and the oral corporation Yugoexport. So far, ITA has supported the writings of Irena Haiduk, who heads Yugoexport since 2015. Two collections of writing Studio Feelings and All Classifications Will Lose Their Grip have propelled production of accessories, scripts, sets, animated films, educational and performance programs, some of which will find form in the exhibition. The overlapping of aesthetic and economic production powers Yugoexport's work, and serves as a starting point for the first institutional solo exhibition in Switzerland.

The exhibition by Yugoexport is supported by LANDIS & GYR STIFTUNG.

Biography

Yugoexport is a blind, non-aligned, oral corporation modeled after the self-managed, autonomous, unofficial organizations and experimental clubs within the larger state infrastructure of the former Yugoslavia. Incorporated in the United States (where corporations are people), launched in Paris and headquartered in Belgrade, she is a copy or an avatar of Jugoeksport, a defunct Yugoslav apparel manufacturer and weapons exporter.
