Zizek

Slovenian philosopher Slavoj Žižek discusses toilets, pubic hair and ideology in a clip from the East Art Map.

The East Art Map is a database of Eastern European art from 1945 to the present. It currently includes 17 countries and 218 artists, and features everything from sculptures to oil paintings to videos. According to the creators’ concept:

"Every single move by an artist in Western European civilization is
documented. Did you know there is no such thing in Eastern Europe?
[…] This was so for decades, but it doesn’t have to be like this
anymore. We are planning to transform the legends and stories of the
underground into a legal art history. […] History is not given. It
has to be constructed."

Clicking on the part of the cube marked "SI" brings up a list of 18 Slovenian artists or artistic movements, including Laibach and the NSK, as well as the "giant of Ljubljana" himself, Mr. Slavoj Žižek. (His rant is, in my opinion, the shining highlight in Slovenia’s otherwise disappointing collection. I can’t link directly to it, but you’ll find it under: "The Ljubljana Alternative or Subcultural Movement." It’s doubleplusgood.)
