Group LAIBACH invites you to three-day multimedia event; exhibition – concerts – symposium, named Red District + Black Cross, 1980 – 2010, which opens with exhibition on
23rd of September at 8 p.m. in Delavski dom Trbovlje.
After 30 years the group Laibach returns to Delavski Dom Trbovlje, where it will carry out an event, originally banned by local authorities in 1980.
On the 27th of September 1980 the group Laibach, which was formed same year in Trbovlje, under the patronage of Ljubljana’s ŠKUC Gallery prepared it’s "coming out", it’s first proper life performance, it’s multimedia action, first public happening; an event which would embody itself as an ‘alternative to the [official, centralistic] Slovenian culture’ and would shock and awaken the Red District which was at the time slumbering, poisoned and overfilled with soc-realism and provincialism, with its brutish and avant-garde approach.
The single day Blitzkrieg event was conceptualised as a poster action [night postering of Trbovlje], as a concert of an anarcho-industrial music [Laibach, Kaos, Berlinski zid] and as
exhibition of paintings, collages, graphics and short films [Ausstellung Laibach Kunst].
Even though the local authorities banned the entire event before it’s opening, and although of the entire planned event Laibach only managed the night action of postering of Trbovlje,
it proved to be a perfect success as this event which never happened and it’s banning caused the number of controversial discussions within the at the time awakening Slovenian
civil society, selected printed media [Mladina, Tribuna] as well as the radio [Radio Študent]. Such was the birth of Laibach into Slovenian and Yugoslav reality of 80’s.
30 years after the incident, Laibach returns to the scene of the crime and is preparing a partial reconstruction - new multimedia happening in the place of it’s birth.
Three day event will retrospectively deal with same contextual and formal parameters as in 1980s which will in the time difference and within the context of the new
socio-political paradigm, this time gain a different interpretational meanings.
23rd of September at 20:00 – The opening of the spatial installation RED DISTRICT + BLACK CROSS within the lobby of Delavski dom Trbovlje.
The exhibition will be opened until October 20th 2010. Side event: exhibition DOCUMENTS 1980 will be set in the Slavcek [Choir Nightingal] room of Delavski dom.
Alongside that a few spatial interventions in the area of Cementarna Trbovlje,Termoelektrarna Trbovlje and TV broadcasting tower Kum are to be expected.
24th and 25th of September at 20:00 Laibach will perform two concerts in the theatre hall of Delavski dom Trbovlje and on 26th of September the group will also perform a J.S. Bach
inspired show LAIBACHKUNSTDERFUGE on Kum.
